The data of this qualitative study were collected through indepth interviews and written narratives from 12 high-proficiency undergraduate ESL learners and 10 low-proficiency undergraduate ESL learners, who were selected based on the learners_ Malaysian University English Test (MUET) result. The data were analysed through thematic analysis, to generate themes and patterns related to the participants_ imagined communities, identities, investment, and linguistic behaviours. The findings revealed that high-proficiency learners_ imagined communities, identities and investment are reflective of their professional aspirations and career success, global communication, travel, and cultural adaptation, educational influence and inspiration, as well as their social and peer influence. In contrast, low-proficiency learners_ imagined communities, identities, and investment mirrored their perceived relevance of English language, social and peer-influenced, as well as limited practice and exposure. The data on the linguistic behaviours of high and low proficiency learners indicated differences in terms of their language and length of responses, clarification requests, and sentimental indicators. The results of this study imply that the learners_ imagined communities, identities, and investment could influence their proficiency and linguistic behaviours. The study brings about theoretical contributions on the understanding of three important constructs in Second Language Acquisition (SLA); imagined communities, identities, and investment in the context of Malaysian setting.</p> 2024 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=13315 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=13315 text eng - openAccess Doctoral Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi <p>Ahmad, I., & Yusof Khan, Z.
