Beskrivning
Instead of viewing different perspectives on the self as competing with each other and considering one perspective on the self as being inherently ‘better’ than another, this book takes the view that a fuller, more comprehensive picture of the self in SLA can be gained by examining and combining insights from different perspectives. This original collection of papers thus attempts to provide a thorough overview of the ways in which the self can be conceptualised in SLA contexts. The editors have brought together a diverse range of theoretical perspectives on the self to allow the reader to appreciate the insights that each approach contributes to overall understandings of the self in the domain of second language acquisition and foreign language learning.

Recensioner i media

The work collected and edited by Mercer and Williams fills important gaps anddiscrepancies between major theories and brings a fresh and different perspective to the field of SLA with the crucial ideas, future directions, and debates it poses. The work brings the theories together to build toward a comprehensive perspective. The book is a very valuable one, especially for graduate students who are looking for conceptual clarity in constructs of the self.
