Comments on: Language Learning and Identity: Helping Students Develop a Sense of Themselves as Second-Language Learner, Speaker, and Community Participant https://fltmag.com/language-learning-and-identity/ IALLT's free language technology magazine Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:36:44 +0000 hourly 1 By: Denisa https://fltmag.com/language-learning-and-identity/#comment-541668 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:36:44 +0000 https://fltmag.com/?p=6330#comment-541668 I’ve even found that learning informal expressions and Swedish swear words can make a language feel more alive, because suddenly you understand jokes, frustration, and everyday conversations that textbooks tend to sanitize. Those little cultural details can make you feel much more connected to the language you’re learning.

I especially agree that students should have opportunities to learn from feedback without being heavily penalized for level-appropriate mistakes. Building confidence is a key part of long-term progress

The focus is so often on vocabulary, grammar or pronunciation in the classroom and we forget all the other moving parts that complete the fluency puzzle. Great article.
