English is regarded as an International Language. Most Thai
students have to learn English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
Significantly, learning languages, not only English, is
related to a foreign culture’s behavioral norms, and
cultural values that usually determine a person’s
self-identity. Especially, students in English major
may undergo self-identity changes. This quantitative study
investigated types of self-identity changes occurring in
undergraduate students majoring in English, at Naresuan
University (Eng. NU) and Thammasat University (Eng. TU),
also students majoring in English language and literature at
Thammasat University (Eng. Lit). In addition, this study
investigated the factors which had influenced these
self-identity changes. The instrument of the research was a
questionnaire. ANOVA was carried out to test difference and
analyze the correlation between six types of changes and six
independent variables (t-test).
