The Role Of Identity In Language Acquisition: A Cross- Generational Perspective., Darlene Annette Snider
MA TESOL Collection
In this paper I will reflect on the role of identity as it relates to second language acquisition.

This study sought to provide insight into factors that influence community development through an exploration of the community experience in online settings. To do this, it was necessary to establish an understanding of the community construct through an extensive review of contemporary literature. A review of the online learning community literature was …
