Abstract

The lack of facilities and quality education in some rural areas has been a notorious problem in our education. Students sometimes choose to migrate to a new place to fulfil their human rights in getting a quality education that takes place in multicultural settings in order to gain a new identity construction. This study was done to examine the relationship between English as language learning in a multilingual context and identity in EFL classroom interactions. Furthermore, this study examined whether English as language learning and identity have a balanced contribution in EFL classroom interactions and how students are from different regions representing their identities in diverse groups’ communication. Under the framework of a descriptive qualitative study, this study was conducted by observation, closed-ended and open-ended questionnaire. The result of this study is expected to show the balance between identity and English as students’ communication language learning in EFL classroom interactions that students’ identities reflect their home cultures and languages from diverse groups.
