초록
Through a qualitative approach, this study examines the self-identity shifts of English language learners at a Korean tertiary institution. The purpose of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of the types of, and process of self-identity construction and negotiation experienced by English language students in the EFL context. From in-depth interviews with a homogenous sample of English Interpretation and Translation majors, various forms of self-identity shifts are identified. Furthermore,the role of social-identities, imposed identities, and imagined identities assigned by significant others plays an indirect, yet decisive function in forming new identities which take into account their English language skills.
