Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to answer the first research question about how the English-majors construct different levels of agency in individual clauses in the telling of their learning stories. It demonstrates how the stories are analyzed and how the clauses are interpreted with ample examples. Then, transitivity patterns are generalized for construction of a high, low or neutral level of agency respectively. Finally I discuss how agency construction by the English-majors in their narration is related to their identity making.
