David Block is ICREA Research Professor in Sociolinguistics at the University of Lleida, Spain

The first edition of David Block's Second Language Identities was deemed a remarkable piece of work [in 2007], and its content is as relevant now as it was eight years ago ... I highly recommend it.

Identity in foreign language contexts 5. Identity in study abroad contexts 6. Second language identities: the state of play and future directions.
