It focuses on their motivational drives, learning trajectories and related dynamics of identity development triggered by the learning process. Central to the study are adult L2 learners, who are still a largely under-researched and growing group of learners, and readers will gain a better understanding of the learning process of this specific group of learners and ideas for sustaining L2 adult learning motivation in continuing education settings. Furthermore, the book discusses the role played by the Italian migrant community in Australia in making Italian a sought-after language to learn. It explores how a migrant community may influence motivation, and highlights and expands on the notion of L2 learning contexts, showing the existence of sociocultural environments where second language learning trajectories are affected by the presence of migrant groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cristiana Palmieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788922190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788922197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Multilingual Matters Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Cristiana Palmieri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445715448063,"sku":"9781788922197","price":161.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7f1b7cc-0ff1-41ef-b36e-175db42eee49.jpg?v=1777220203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-trajectories-of-adult-second-cristiana-palmieri-9781788922197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
