| Abstract | This paper presents the views related to learners' constructions of themselves as EFL learners of English and their perceptions of English as a subject learned in the classroom in relation to the existing literature. Learners' classroom experiences are presented with respect to four main key areas under which specific and pertinent issues are discussed. These four key areas include learners' responses to topics and activities, learners' participation in lessons, learners' rapport with the English teacher, and learners' language of interaction and conversation. In fact, such distinctive features of formal language learning can be generally reflected and represented in any EFL classroom setting. As classroom language learning appears decontextualized and seems disconnected from real life and from any meaningful context in which people interact and communicate, by exploring these domains, it is hoped that EFL learners' classroom experiences can be better understood. |
