Abstract Details

2003, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Literacy.
The present case study investigated students' perceptions of factors affecting their acquisition of a second language. The purpose of the study was to better understand Japanese women's cultural and identity issues in second language writing opportunities and how such issues may impact the student as a second language writer. The results indicated that: 1) the students experienced identity and cultural conflicts. The first language identity is threatened, the new second language identity feels strange, and issues of group identity and individual identity exist; 2) as second language writers, the students experienced problems in conflicts with protecting the first language self; 3) the students experienced conflicts between language one and language two's (English) cultural writing norms; 4) certain classroom tasks presented conflicts to the English as a second language student and educators in the field need to be aware of the nature of the conflicts students face.
