The purpose of this study is to examine how adult second language(L2) learners negotiate their identities in the workplaces of their immigrant lives through language practices. Multi-cultures and multi-norms exist in the workplaces, and L2 learners’ identities were fluctuating, depending on the time and places. Along with their multi-layered identities, this study also showed their power relationships through their language use. This study employed a qualitative research design which includes case study methodology and narrative analysis. The theoretical framework of this study is post-structuralism in which language is treated as the site of identity construction. This study argues when second language learners are encouraged to speak in whatever language they feel comfortable, they have more opportunities to move into new circumstances seamlessly
