Abstract
A positioning analysis of small stories of three English language learners’ (ELLs’) writing complemented with big story data from interviews reveals how writer identity is performed in and fragmented by academic discourses in an Academic English course. We show how analysis of content, linguistic forms, context, and positioning in small and big story data provides a holistic view of identity constructions that comply with or resist academic discourses.
