Abstract

This narrative inquiry is set to investigate how ELESP students enrolled in the pandemic era construct their academic identities and what possibly influences the deconstruction of these identities. This study involves five participants. The participating students are the ones enrolled as university students at time of pandemic; therefore, their way of seeing themselves as students may be different as they are yet to experience the traditional sit-in-the-class teaching and learning activities at university level. The data are collected through semi-structured interviews. The results of this study show that students’ academic identities are constructed by the awareness of their future aspirations, active classroom participation, and supportive interactions among members of academic groups. The shifting from offline to online learning that comes with various technical issues does not make students down nor negatively affects their learning motivation. In other words, students’ academic identities are not easily deconstructed because of the pandemic. The students negotiate their identities with the situation positively.
