type:text

The study observed English as a Second Language (ESL) teens in a military institution in Japan. The focus is on identity formation of these teens, such as being in-between, referring to the extent the students feel as being part of several different cultures and communities. This will be examined by looking at the link between family relationships, pathways, emotions, and language learning. The research method used was a long-term participant observation and in depth interviews to contextualize and understand the participants' view on their identity formation. The study found that family members have the most impact on the identity formation among these youths.
