Popis: Discourses, Identities and Investment in Foreign Language Learning is the result of what was started as a PhD thesis by Jennifer Martyn and has resulted in a 164-page rich monograph on identity for foreign language learners at secondary level in Ireland from a post-structural perspective. The monograph seeks to examine the connections between foreign language learners, the Irish schooling system (and its related-practices and context), and how learners speak about their language learning experience, and thus construct their identities. To do so, the researcher has conducted an ethnographic study in one secondary school in county Galway in the West of Ireland through the use of observations and semi-structured interviews with learners and semi-structured interviews with one foreign language teacher.
