"Back in School explores what it means to be a successful student and how these valuations are shaped by access to resources and cultural beliefs regarding the perceived purpose of a college education as we venture forward into the twenty-first century. These student parents have chosen to be a part of a traditional campus culture, attending public colleges and universities where they can learn, grow, and prepare themselves for not just a job but a life outside of school and work. In challenging dominant paradigms regarding the purpose and function of public higher education in the twenty-first century, these students are also, albeit not always consciously, calling for changes in that will produce greater socioeconomic and gender equity in our culture, on college campuses, and in their personal lives"--

Les auteurs, du Québec et de la France, analysent les enjeux épistémologiques, théoriques, déontologiques, méthodologiques et administratifs que soulèvent les recherches conduites par des adultes aux cycles supérieurs. Cette mise en commun de recherches expérientielles et réflexives ouvre un débat sur la formation tout au long de la vie, sur le rôle des universités et des professeurs qui accompagnent des adultes dans ce contexte de formation.

This book examines the role of attitude, motivation and identity in the process of learning a minority language. It presents mixed-method empirical research which investigates how attitude, motivation and identity in adult learners of a minority language are related to their awareness of, and commitment to, different dialects and varieties of the language as learning targets. Specifically, it is concerned with the attitudes of adult learners of Irish towards acquiring various traditional (Gaeltacht) and non-traditional (second language) varieties of the language. It explores the relationships that exist between these attitudes towards varieties and learners’ motivation and self-concept as second language speakers.
