About this book
A collection of research reports on lived experiences of the English language focusing on the subjective meanings and emotions involved in EFL contexts of learning and teaching. The contributors make use of fresh theoretical frameworks and innovative methods of data collection and analysis, including verbal and visual narratives.
Reviews
'This is a very enjoyable and highly original book. Narratives from EFL learners and users from Brazil, Finland, Japan, Spain and Hong Kong provide kaleidoscopic images of unique individual experiences. Yet, from this multiplicity of views a more general picture emerges of learners/users as actors and witnesses of their learning process.' - Jean-Marc Dewaele, University of London
