Rezensionen

"Reiko Yoshida's study is richly grounded in qualitative data from learners of Japanese as they transition from secondary school to university, study abroad, and beyond. It illuminates the complex interplay between students' beliefs about language learning and their evolving self-concepts as language learners, as they negotiate new learning contexts, struggle with challenges, and exercise agency in pursuit of their ideal selves. This deeply engaging book will be of interest to all those concerned with understanding or researching the role of the self-concept in language learning."
