the subject of identity and language learning written from a literacy

calls “world majority languages” and significant between “collectivist”

<br>
I'm sorry for the message I sent some minutes ago. I sent it before I had read
your messages, so I guess I was too repetitive. WEll, I would like to send you
parts of the discourse of a participant in my researches on language learning.
I would like to know how you see it in terms of language learning and identity:
<br>
<br>
Anita: <em><i><font face="Times New Roman">When I got into the classroom, I
started to hear everyone speaking English</font></i></em> [the target
language]. <em><i><font face="Times New Roman">Then I got scared. I thought:
"Oh, God, they all can speak. I can't speak English at all. What if they
ask me a question?". I had a feeling to run away from there, but decided
to stay. It was a shame that at my age and after all the courses I've taken, I
can't speak this language". </font></i></em></span></font></p>

student's identity being shaken/at risk in the classroom? Now, read this
