Jacqueline Aiello

Negotiating Englishes and English-speaking Identities (eBook, ePUB)

A study of youth learning English in Italy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book explores the effects of the global spread of English by reporting on a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study of the language attitudes, motivation and self-perceived English proficiency of youth in two Italian cities. This work provides readers with a depiction of the identities, milieu and learning experiences of English language learners in Italy. The detailed analysis gives insight into the understandings, construction of meaning and negotiations of language learners who need and want to acquire English. The issues and questions raised have profound implications on the research of English(es) today and can inform future directions in global English teaching.
