摘要
This research aims to study identity construction of foreign language learners in foreign language learning class rooms. It investigates the influence of English foreign language on Pakistani students' identity. Forty (40) students who were studying English as second language in Lahore College for Women University, Pakistan participated in this research. The participants filled questionnaire and were interviewed. Results show that identity is fluid and changing. This research recommends educators and policy makers to develop such policies which could enhance students' identity; thus, students could identify themselves as good Muslims, good Pakistanis and a peaceful member of global community.
