摘要：The present qualitative study examines the construction and negotiation of English learners’ agency andidentity situated in the development of vocational English (VE) materials in which both teachers and studentswere involved in design processes: planning, enacting, and evaluating. It looks specifically at (1) to whatextent teacher-learner driven ESP materials development helps students construct and negotiate their agencyand identity and (2) in what ways the students respond to negotiated and participa-tory learning as theoutcome of the school-level ESP materials development project. Findings shed some lights on students’agency exercise and identity enactment as the students participated in the development processes. Fromagency and identity perspectives, ESP materials development is a socially complex, multi-layered, and fluidprocess, representing students’ interests and roles. The contribution of the present study is to provideempirical evidence regarding how student capacity and social roles contribute to teacher-student driven ESPmaterials development. Further ethnographic action research is needed to investigate how both teachers’ andstudents’ agencies and identities are constructed and negotiated in language curriculum development ingeneral and in language materials development in particular.
