Exploring the Bi-Directional Effects of Language Learning Experience and Learners' Identity (Re)Construction in Glocal Higher Education Context
Takkaç Tulgar, Aysegül
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v40 n9 p743-758 2019
Though the concept of identity has been examined in foreign and second language learning contexts where the target language was mostly English, there is scarcity of research on the examination of identity in glocal language learning contexts where local and global characteristics co-exist. Therefore, this longitudinal case study investigates the bi-directional effects of learning experience in glocal context and learners' identity (re)construction. The participants were 11 foreign learners of Turkish receiving a-year-long preparatory language education in Turkey. The participation of these students was thought to form a glocal atmosphere. The data were collected through self-reports, observation notes and semi-structured interviews. The content analysis of the data revealed that the language learning process affected the identity development of the participants on educational, cultural and social basis and that the identities of the participants affected the progress of language learning with instances of raising awareness towards identity/through instances raising awareness towards identity. In the light of relevant literature, the findings are discussed.
