[EAN: 9780805841541], Neubuch, [PU: Routledge, New York], Paperback. This book examines the changing linguistic and cultural identities of bilingual students through the narratives of four Japanese returnees ("kikokushijo") as they spent their adolescent years in North America and then returned to Japan to attend university. As adolescents, these students were polarized toward one language and culture over the other, but through a period of difficult readjustment in Japan they became increasingly more sophisticated in negotiating their identities and more appreciative of their hybrid selves. Kanno analyzes how educational institutions both in their host and home countries, societal recognition or devaluation of bilingualism, and the students' own maturation contributed to shaping and transforming their identities over time. Using narrative inquiry and communities of practice as a theoretical framework, she argues that it is possible for bilingual individuals to learn to strike a balance between two languages and cultures. "Negotiating Bilingual and Bicultural Identities: Japanese Returnees Betwixt Two Worlds: " is a longitudinal study of bilingual and bicultural identities—unlike most studies of bilingual learners, this book follows the same bilingual youths from adolescence to young adulthood;documents student perspectives—redressing the neglect of student voice in much educational research, and offering educators an understanding of what the experience of learning English and becoming bilingual and bicultural looks like from the students' point of view; andcontributes to the study of language, culture, and identity by demonstrating that for bilingual individuals, identity is not a simple choice of one language and culture but an ongoing balancing act of multiple languages and cultures.This book will interest researchers, educators, and graduate students who are concerned with the education and personal growth of bilingual learners, and will be useful as text for courses in ESL/bilingual education, TESOL, applied linguistics, and multicultural education. An examination of the changing linguistic and cultural identities of bilingual students through the narratives of four Japanese returnees as they spent their adolescent years in North America and then returned to Japan to attend university. It analyses how their identities were shaped over time. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability., Books<
