Abstract

English language development has played an important role in constructing second language learners’ social identities through language learning. Previous studies have demonstrated that learners’ social identities are beneficial to learners’ language development. This paper is a descriptive study using the method of interviewing, which investigates how the social identities are constructed in EFL learning. It shows that social identity is a dynamic concept and there exists a correlation between learners’ social identity construction and their language learning development.
