In this course we will examine identity and identification and their relationship to language learning and/or loss as described in research and language learners’ narratives and autobiographies. Students will also have an opportunity to engage in discussions with guest lecturers who will share their language learning experiences and/or research and to reflect on how identity and identification have shaped their own language learning. For a final project, students will analyze a language learning autobiography of their choice.
