商品簡介
This work explores how immigrant small business owners co-construct their theories of agency, in relation to language learning and use. It is the first to explore the constitution of language learner agency by drawing on performativity theory, an approach that remains on the periphery of second language research. In doing so, it builds on the work of Vygotsky and Bakhtin along with research on ?gency of spaces?and language ideologies.
