Students' Narrative Journeys in Learning Communities: Mapping Landscapes of Practice
Daniel Hooper
(Positive Pedagogical Praxis Series)
Students’ Narrative Journeys in Learning Communities: Mapping Landscapes of Practice in Self Access Learning Centers and Foreign Language Classes by Daniel Hooper offers a unique exploration into how students navigate the often challenging transitions within English education in Japan. Drawing on nearly two decades of teaching experience and detailed research, Hooper dives deep into the complexities of student experiences in self-access learning centers (SALCs) and foreign language classrooms. The book spotlights the narratives of three students, Kei, Sara, and Tenka, whose stories illuminate the diverse ways learners adapt to new environments and reshape their identities as language learners.
This volume bridges the gap between academic theory and practical application, offering educators a roadmap to better understand and support their students during periods of change. By elevating student voices, Students' Narrative Journeys challenges traditional pedagogies and calls for a more inclusive, reflective approach to language education. With a balanced mix of theory and real-life narratives, this book is an essential resource for teachers, researchers, and advisors looking to enhance their understanding of learner agency and self-access learning practices.
