Language Learner Narrative : an Exploration of Mündigkeit in Intercultural Literature.

Increasing numbers of people have contact with other cultures and languages. Language Learner Narrative examines representations of this phenomenon in literary texts using an applied linguistic approach. This analysis of written narratives of language learning and cross-cultural encounter complements objective studies in intercultural communication and second language acquisition research.

Augmented by Pierre Bourdieu's co.
