| Abstract
|
:
|
Female Muslim English Learners (ELs) are a growing population in schools in the United States. There are many challenges that face this group of students in addition to learning English as a new language. Language and communication are crucial to social identity. Developing a positive social identity is essential while learning a new language in order to acquire a commensurate level of academic achievement. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand how learning a new language during adolescence impacts social identity development for high school-aged female Muslim EL students. A phenomenological approach was used in this qualitative study in order to describe the perceptions and experiences of female Muslim high school students served in an English Language Learner program located in the Midwest. Collecting the stories and voices of the participants provided an opportunity to make sense of their experiences. Six themes were identified that addressed the opportunities where educators could support social identity development for this group of language learners. Through the exploration of the perceptions and experiences of this population, a more efficient and empathetic system of support could be developed in order to foster the development of positive social identity for these women.
