ملخص المقال

The aim of the undertaken qualitative study
is to investigate students’ future possible
selves. The research involves semi-structured
interviews with ten first year English Foreign
Language (EFL) students from the English
Department at Souk-Ahras University in
Algeria to gain more understanding of key
issues from their perceptions. The main
results uncover that the participants underline
the importance of their future projected
selves in terms of the language study.
Additionally, they underscore the salient role
of their Ideal L2 possible self in boosting
their future academic success and later
professional achievements. Significantly
enough, a number of students desire to
identify themselves among the world wide
populations who speak the English language
to communicate with other FL/L2 speakers in
the future, and yet providing validity to
Dörnyei’s tripartite construct of the L2
motivational self system and its applicability
across different linguistic and cultural
contexts.
Keywords: EFL students, possible selves,
Ideal L2 Self, perceptions, future projected
selves, L2 motivational self system.
