As the increase for language learning, instructors and learners are deeply determined to navigate effective ways of acquiring language in second language learning. The target aim of every ESL program should be to provide students with language skills essentially to participate and show cognitively demanding experiences. Students are often identified according to their ability, identity, and personality in effective language production. This article shows how SLA can be more comprehensible with learners’ psychological investment, motivation, and identity. Two different learners, Gulsanam and Fotima have been chosen from my current English class, whom I have known personally. They are similar in age and students of the same group with various backgrounds in English language acquisition. A summary is provided about the examination of the “receptive and productive language abilities of two learners” (Loup et al., 1994, p. 73).
