内容介绍:While both multilingualism and linguistic identity have been the focus of much  researcher attention in second language acquisition, learners’ multilingual  identity is only now beginning to be researched. In this talk I present the  three key theoretical perspectives on identity (the psychosocial, sociocultural  and poststructural) and examine points of intersection and difference, before  proposing a new framework for a multi-theoretical approach to the  conceptualisation and investigation of multilingual identity. This places it at  the nexus of (a) individual psychological development, (b), the relational and  social, and (c) the historical and contextual. I then present a theorised model  for classroom practice that provides a structure within which individual  learners of a foreign language might explicitly consider their identity and  identifications. Empirical research investigating this model in Secondary School  classrooms in England will be presented. Findings suggest that participation in  dialogic engagement with regard to sociolinguistic knowledge, for example, may  lead to greater investment in language learning.
