Building self through foreign language learning : a case study of four adult language learners' emerging identities

2015

Oppiminen on vahvasti sidoksissa identiteettiin, sillä se voi saada aikaan muutoksen ihmisessä niin ajatuksen, toiminnan kuin tekojenkin tasolla. Vieraan kielen oppimista onkin verrattu uuden identiteetin omaksumiseen, sillä sen myötä oppijan käsitys itsestään muuttuu.

2003

This article discusses written narratives about foreign language learning. The stories were collected in a contest organised by KVS Foundation (Kansanvalistusseura), a Finnish organisation for adult education.
