Emotion And Identity In Second Language Learning - Peter Lang Group AG

This Book Brings Together 18 Theoretical And Empirical Chapters That Analyse The Role Of Emotion (expression, Perception, Processing) And Identity (notions And Representations, Construction, Conflict) In The Process Of Learning A Second Language. Studies On The Differences In Emotionality Between L1 And L2 Suggest That In L2 There Is An Alteration That, In Many Cases, Manifests Itself As A Decrease In The Affective Load, Which Can Lead To A Certain Indifference To The Emotional Content Transmitted And To A Lesser Involvement In Communication. It Is Also Known That Emotion Plays A Fundamental Role In The Construction Of Identity In A Second Language In The Shaping Of The Self That Feels And Communicates And In The Ability To Cope With The Learning Process.
