dc.description.abstract | This study aims to know how learners' identities formed and constructed from
individuals with different sociocultural backgrounds. The objective of this study is to
investigate how Indonesian undergraduate students’ sociocultural background
constructed their identities as English language learners. The research is a qualitative-
narrative research consisting of one participant from a university in Indonesia. The data
were collected by using an interview to know how the participant learner’s identity
was formed and constructed. The interview results were then analyzed through Gee's
(2000) Four Perspective of Identity using thematic analysis. From the interview, the
research question could be answered on how the participant learner's identity was
constructed not only by the assumed one part of identity (Institutional identity), but all
four identities are interconnected (Nature, Institutional, Discourse, and Affinity
Identity). | en_US |
