Thesis Title
Towards An Understanding of Language Learner Development and Learners' Self-Concepts: An Exploratory Practice Approach

Read article at Massey Research Online:

Language learners are agentive individuals, with unique identities, personal goals, motives and feelings, all which are reflected in the complex system of social and contextual relations and experiences in which the learners are situated. 聽Ms Kehrwald鈥檚 study arose out of a classroom-based approach to language teaching and learning which focused on the development of learners鈥� self-awareness. 聽Ms Kehrwald used qualitative data collected from the learners鈥� visual representations of their language learning experiences, their goals and motivations and their beliefs about language learning. 聽Her findings suggest that learners鈥� self-concepts are multifaceted, dynamic and socially and contextually situated and are (re)constructed over time as learners鈥� interact with others and the environment, forming trajectories of self. 聽It is therefore important for language teachers to seek out opportunities for learners to participate more fully in the classroom by letting them and their identities, beliefs and emotional wellbeing become the focus of the classroom.
