- This study explores how ten undergraduate students ELT Department of Satya Wacana Christian University negotiate their multilingual English identity. This study is needed because only few studies focus on how multilingual English users in Indonesia construct their own identity. The data were collected from interviews which was semi structured and using Gee‟s unit analysis to analyze the content (Elliot, 2005). The finding illustrated the participants‟ strategies in negotiating their identities based on their first language (L1) cultures, such as limiting English use in public spaces, reduced the English use among the society which was incompetent in it, and switched into the language (Bahasa Indonesia) that was understandable for them. All the participants appeared to use English carefully in the public spaces because it was still seen as an elite language (Kramsch, 2009). The participants would be assumed as “showing off� or “boasting� if they used English in the society which was incompetent in it. Implication for participants‟ negotiation on their multilingual English identity is made in the end of the paper.
