  • motivation Language Identity and the l2 self
    2009
    Co-Authors: Zoltán Dörnyei, Ema Ushioda
    Abstract:

    Due to its theoretical and educational significance within the Language learning process, the study of L2 motivation has been an important area of second Language acquisition research for several decades. Over the last few years L2 motivation research has taken an exciting new turn by focusing increasingly on the Language learner’s situated Identity and various self-perceptions. As a result, the concept of L2 motivation is currently in the process of being radically reconceptualised and re-theorised in the context of contemporary notions of self and Identity. With contributions by leading European, North American and Asian scholars, this volume brings together the first comprehensive anthology of key conceptual and empirical papers that mark this important paradigmatic shift.

  • it isn t no slang that can be said about this stuff Language Identity and appropriating science discourse
    Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2006
    Co-Authors: Bryan A Brown
    Abstract:

    This investigation explores how underrepresented urban students made sense of their first experience with high school science. The study sought to identify how students' assimilation into the science classroom reflected their interpretation of science itself in relation to their academic identities. The primary objectives were to examine students' responses to the epistemic, behavioral, and discursive norms of the science classroom. At the completion of the academic year, 29 students were interviewed regarding their experiences in a ninth and tenth-grade life science course. The results indicate that students experienced relative ease in appropriating the epistemic and cultural behaviors of science, whereas they expressed a great deal of difficulty in appropriating the discursive practices of science. The implications of these findings reflect the broader need to place greater emphasis on the relationship between students' Identity and their scientific literacy development. 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Res Sci Teach 43: 96- 126, 2006 Learning to participate in the cultural practices of science classrooms is not an effortless adjustment for all students. Although the acculturation of the values, epistemic beliefs, and genres of discourse consistent with those of science can provide learners with educational and social opportunities, there are also potential cultural costs. In many cases, the cost of this cultural appropriation can create intrapersonal conflict for minority students who must balance the tension between their academic and personal Identity (Brown, 2004; Eisenhart, Finkel, & Marion, 1996; Gilbert & Yerrick, 2001; Lee & Fradd, 1998). Although research of ethnic and racial minority students in science classrooms has considered issues of student cognition and Language (Aikenhead & Jegede, 1999; Brickhouse, 1994; Lee & Fradd, 1998), few have studied how engaging in scientific discourse represents a cultural conflict for students. This study explores how engaging in the cultural practices of science, including the discursive practices of science classrooms, can initiate cultural conflict for marginalized students.
