This book uses a narrative-oriented approach to shed light on the
processes of identity construction and development among Japanese
university students of English. The research highlights the
instrumental agency of individuals in responding to and acting upon
the social environment, and in developing, maintaining and/or
reconstructing their identities as L2 users. The study offers
unique insights into the role of experience, emotions, social and
environmental affordances in shaping their personal orientations to
English and self-perceptions as English learner-users. It also
examines individuals’ responses to these factors and discusses
fluctuations in their motivations. The additional value of this
book lies in its detailed account of methodological procedures,
challenges and ways to overcome obstacles encountered when
undertaking qualitative longitudinal studies.
