Students in any educational settings represent a wide array of
social and cultural identities: as men/women, as foreigners or locals, as
native speakers or non-native speakers, as individuals with particular
beliefs, as members of families, organization, ethnic groups or society at
large. Despite their multiple identities, English language pedagogy
continues to subsume these diverse identities into a single linguistic basket
labeled non-native speakers. Although the label has now been widely
challenged (see, among others, Jenkins, 1996; Phillipson, 1992;
Seidlhofer, 1999; & Shuck, 2006), the label persists because suggestions
have not been accompanied by microlevel classroom techniques on how
to address students? various identities in the classroom. This paper seeks to
address this gap by recommending practical classroom techniques to
accommodate learners? multiple identities.
