This book sheds new light on teaching English as a foreign language and gives inspirations for enhancing English learners' agency in contemporary context of China. As learner agency shouldbe treated in a dynamic and process view, a low level of agency manifested in a particular period or in a certain context may not necessarily persist in later periods or extend to other contexts. Provided with supportive contextual conditions and taking on positive and powerful identities, language learners are well on the course for higher levels of agency.
