LIVED CURRICULUM & IDENTITÉ LINGUISTIQUE: DISCOURS PARALLÈLES BUT INTERTWINED
Keywords:
identity formation, autobiographical approach, language learningAbstract
ABSTRACT. The author uses an autobiographical approach to reinterpret her memories of being an immigrant and an English language learner and to probe how these memories are intimately involved in the process of becoming a science teacher. This reflexive process of “excavation᾿ (Grumet, 1999) allows the writing of narratives that explore how words and language impact identity formation.
RÉSUMÉ. L’auteure emploie une approche autobiographique pour réinterpréter les souvenirs de son immigration et de son apprentissage de l’anglais comme langue seconde, ainsi que pour examiner la manière dont ces souvenirs sont intimement liés à la formation de son identité en temps qu’enseignante des sciences. Ce processus réflexif “d’excavation᾿ (Grumet, 1999) permet l’écriture de narrations qui explorent l’impact des mots et du langage sur la formation de l’identité.
