Literacy Practices and Perceptions of Agency (eBook, PDF)

Composing Identities

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring ways in which how a person perceives and feels their abilities to read and write successfully in a given context shape how he or she performs their literate identities, Bronwyn Williams draws on interviews and observations with students in several countries to examine the intersections of the social and personal in relation to how and why people engage successfully or struggle painfully in literacy practices and what factors and forces they regard as enabling or constraining their actions.
