Investigating Language Learning And Motivation Beyond The Classroom: Challenges Of Conducting Research From A Sociocultural Theory Perspective, Heather W. Allen, Tae-Young Kim

Heather Willis Allen

This session focuses on three challenges to researching language learning and motivation beyond the classroom from a sociocultural theory perspective--conceptual, methodological, and critical/ethical. Discussion is complemented with examples from two qualitative studies--one of U.S. study abroad participants in France and another of Korean students in an ESL program in Canada.
