Creating a Multivocal Self

Showcasing a new methodology in language learning and identity research, this carefully conceptualized, innovative book explicates the use of autoethnography as a way of re-imagining one's sense of linguistic and cultural identity. It is both a research methodology model and a substantive exploration of individual dimensions of multilingualism and multivocality
