Second Language Identities
Autor David Blocken Limba Engleză Paperback – 2009
It then examines how in early SLA research focussing on affective variables, identity was an issue, lurking in the wings but not coming to the surface. Moving to the present, the book then examines in detail and critiques recent research focussing on identity in three distinct second language learning contexts. These contexts are: (1) adult migration, (2) foreign language classrooms and (3) study abroad programmes. The book concludes with suggestions for future research focussing on identity in second language learning.

Recenzii
"Second Language Identities is a remarkable book that traces research interest in second language identities from the 1960's to the present. Drawing on a wide range of social science theory, David Block brings an insightful analysis to seminal studies of adult migrants, foreign language learners, and study abroad students. A timely work that makes an outstanding contribution to a burgeoning field of inquiry." - Bonny Norton, Professor and Distinguished University Scholar, University of British Columbia, Canada.
David Block provides a concise and readable survey... the book is clearly written and well-structured throughout, with the key arguments summarised concisely at the end of each chapter, a comprehensive index and an admirably short and clear list of abbreviations. It would certainly be of use to dip into on ESOL teacher training courses and for anyone interested in the wider aspects of language learning.
[Block] gives us an overview of how research on second language acquisition has indirectly explored issues related to identity, but never concentrated on how it directly relates to second language acquisition until more recently. Precisely, this is the gap that Block fills with Second Language Identities and its main contribution: identity as the center stage in second language acquisition in contexts such as study abroad programs, adult migration, and foreign language classrooms.

Notă biografică
David Block was raised in a small Louisiana town where every family knew one another, and every parent felt free to correct any child who strayed. Born to older parents, he survived a life-threatening surgery at age five and lost his father at twelve. Much of what he learned about manhood came from the school of hard knocks.David attended LSU and earned a business and computer degree from Louisiana College. His career took him to cities across the United States and eventually to the role of senior executive officer of a large holding company.David is a devoted Christian. He has been married to his wife, Linda, for sixty years, and he is a proud father and grandfather. After retiring, he wrote Becoming a Dad to give new and searching dads the guidance he missed growing up, drawn from more than seventy years of life.
