This study focused on how three Saudi students at a University of Memphis in the U.S. constructed their academic writer identities. The purposes of this study, grounded in sociocultural, constructivism, and discourse theory, were to (a) understand how similar or different were the discourse writing practices in their L1 community (Saudi Arabia) to those writing practices in the L2 community (United States), (b) determine their individual investment in writing academic papers according to writing convention of the L2 community, and (c) elicit aspects of writer identity in their different academic papers written for different courses. I conducted a qualitative case study and collected three discourse based interviews, three graded academic written papers, and one reflective essay from each student.
