Contributors; 1 Introduction; 2 Self-Efficacy in Second Language Acquisition; 3 The Dynamics of Second Language Confidence: Contact and Interaction; 4 Self-Esteem and Self-Concept in Foreign Language Learning; 5 Identity and Poststructuralist Theory in SLA; 6 Dual Identities Perceived by Bilinguals; 7 Relational Views of the Self in SLA; 8 Imagined and Possible Selves: Stories We Tell Ourselves About Ourselves; 9 Motivational Perspectives on the Self in SLA: A Developmental View; 10 Brain and Self: A Neurophilosophical Account; 11 The Self from a Complexity Perspective.
Instead of viewing different perspectives on the self as competing with each other and considering one perspective on the self as being inherently 'better' than another, this book takes the view that a fuller, more comprehensive picture of the self in SLA can be gained by examining and combining insights from different perspectives. This original collection of papers thus attempts to provide a thorough overview of the ways in which the self can be conceptualised in SLA contexts. The editors have brought together a diverse range of theoretical perspectives on the self to allow the reader to app.
