Summary: We were blessed with eight more insightful identity presentations that were unique to the presenters. I am very proud of all of you for the Cycle 1 presentations. Then, briefly, you discussed your language learning histories about your second language experiences. It doesn’t have to be English, but your second language if you have another one, like Korean, Chinese, French, German, or another language.
