The priority in education has been shifted to maximize the effectiveness of teacher role through developing their identity. Thus, it is a worth conducting a research which investigates. (1) What identity are constructed by teacher in English teaching learning process? (2) What are the factors that influence teacher’s identity construction? The trajectory of this study was conducted through narrative inquiry research principles. The participants of this study were a teacher of one private university in Banjarmasin. To collect the data, semi-structured interview was administered. The collected data was analyzed through data familiarizing, decoding, and presenting the data. Finally, the result was presented descriptively. The finding of this study reveals type teacher identities in English language teaching. The data show that teacher identities includes language related identity, disciplinary identities, and context related identities. The data also show that the construction of teacher identities determines by teacher experience during teaching career and practiced-knowledge identity.

Abstract

This study examines phonological and vocabulary acquisition in early childhood within a multidialectal river-based community in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, where Dayak Bakumpai and Banjar dialects are used concurrently. Employing a qualitative ethnography of communication approach, the research was conducted over six months in Kuripan District, involving 20 children aged 4–6 years, along with 10 parents and 5 teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and audio-visual documentation across home, school, and community contexts. Thematic analysis revealed that children demonstrated phonological flexibility, adjusting pronunciation and prosody according to interlocutor and context, while developing balanced productive vocabularies that expanded substantially across age groups (120/110 words at age four to 280/270 words at age six for Bakumpai/Banjar respectively). Sustained exposure to both dialects across multiple social domains supported concurrent acquisition of dual phonological systems and context-sensitive lexical deployment. Children exhibited early metalinguistic awareness, explicitly recognizing dialectal differences. The findings demonstrate that multidialectal acquisition constitutes a distinct developmental phenomenon requiring theoretical frameworks extending beyond monolingual-bilingual dichotomies. This study contributes to language acquisition theory by highlighting dialectal variation as a meaningful developmental condition and informs culturally responsive language education curricula honoring Indonesia's linguistic diversity.
