dc.description.abstractThis paper explores pedagogical practices which can support the role of imag- ination in foreign language learning. Over the past decade, work on self and identity in motivation research—most notably Norton’s (2001) imagined communities and Dörnyei’s (2009) L2 motivational self system—has suggested that teachers might foster students’ motivation by helping them imagine themselves as L2 speakers and envisage contexts or communities in which they might use the target language. If teachers are to help students create and sustain visions of L2 identities, they need to employ a pedagogy which incor- porates and facilitates the work of the imagination. In order to provide guide- lines for pedagogical practice, this paper examines the experiences of Japa- nese university students studying English as a foreign language in a self- directed learning course. Prior analysis of the data revealed several affordanc- es which supported the participants’ metacognitive development and the role of imagination in their learning. Using these affordances as a conceptual framework, this paper builds on previous work by identifying elements in the learning environment which appear to support the role of imagination in the students’ language learning. The paper concludes by suggesting guidelines for pedagogical practice and considering the implications for further inquiry.pl_PL
