“…Identity is "meaning of the self-what it means to be who one is" (Burke, 2003, p. 1). It is how someone perceives himself as an individual and as a community member based on the notion of difference or similarity (Furmuzachi, 2007;Riley, 2007), which can be demonstrated through certain symbols, including language, as markers (Chassy, 2015;Drummond, 2018;Riley, 2007) either to other individuals or to other social categories (Turner, Oakes, Haslam & Mcgarty, 1994).…”

College learners with their youthfulness are in a crucial phase of transition, which is often associated with a search of identity. Since language is a fluid identity marker, an investigation of language use to represent identity is challenging, especially when the speakers are multilingual. This article explores the linguistic identities of English college learners in Indonesia and offers an approach of English instruction in its tertiary education context which can accommodate their language identity representation. Through observation, a survey of 173 students of the English Literature Study Program, and in-depth interview with 13 representatives selected by purposive convenience sampling technique, this study found that other than identities related to their language inheritance, their closeness to English as their major of study and to digital media bring out other forms of identity as English Department students, youth, and millennial generation. However, this variety confirms monocultural rather than multicultural identity since they are deeply rooted in their local culture. Using the lingua franca approach, this work proposes a local-oriented English instruction to facilitate them to promote their local culture to international audiences.

“…Tās aprakstītas, piemēram, heteroglosijas teorijā, kas paredz, ka vienotas nacionālas valodas jēdziens ir maldīgs un ka dažādas sabiedrības grupas vienmēr izveidos pašas savu vārdu krājumu un saziņas veidus. Jauniešu valodā īpaši uzsver inovācijas un dumpiniecisku nostāju pret sabiedrības normām [Drummond 2018]. Taču svešvalodas iespraudumi bieži rada īpašu nosodījumu.…”

There has been a growing concern about the use of English in informal conversations of the Latvian youth. The present research aims to gain an insight into the use of English in informal conversations of the Latvian youth occurring primarily in Latvian and to arrive at conclusions regarding the potential reasoning behind it. Codeswitching was chosen for further analysis as one of the most common multilingual practices among the youth. In order to determine the use of English in informal conversations of Latvian youth, a sociolinguistic research was carried out, applying methods of field linguistics developed specifically for researching code-switching. An original corpus of transcribed spontaneous speech recordings of conversations between adolescents of three age groups (eighth-grade students, eleventh-grade students and university students) was developed. The results showed code-switching as a prevalent feature of Latvian youth communication, and a correlation between English proficiency and code-switching use was established.

“…The purpose of this task was to elicit metalinguistic discussions regarding lexical items such as peng (attractive/good), glowed up (became more attractive) and bare (lots of/ very), which were recorded in the researchers' field notes prior to interviewing the individuals. Most of these words are well documented as features of London (and UK-wide) urban vernaculars (e.g., Cheshire et al 2011;Drummond 2018). In the ensuing discussion, Kieran and Natalie discuss the flashcards presented to them, framing these words in terms of respect: 'Cause, like, I know when when I'm talking to adults, 7 they don't speak the way we do ' cause they're from a different generation, so -8 Natalie:…”
