Abstract
Drawing on the application of the notion of investment to language learning, this paper reports on Indonesian educators’ investment in learning a world language - English - and on the extent to which this investment helps construct their identities as academics. This exploratory case study primarily employs semi-structured interviews from five participants to probe their contextual backgrounds and learner histories and describe their efforts to become biliterate. The empirical evidence shows that these learners’ increased awareness of their individual investments and imagined future identities play a dominant role in assisting them to be able to identify as biliterate individuals. Even though this was a small-scale study, our exploration of the five learners’ descriptions of their investments and the results contribute to insightful theoretical and practical knowledge in the Indonesian tertiary education community, casting particular light on those Indonesian bilingual educators who have managed successfully to achieve high levels of English proficiency.
