While identity research has recently become a focus in studies of SLA and TEFL/TESL, a significant majority of the research conducted has been qualitative. Due to the limited number of quantitative identity research studies, few studies have attempted to find relationships between identity and classroom performance. This study examines student identity by measuring the degree to which the subject positions international students take up are integrating or nonintegrating with the culture at an American university and combines quantitative and qualitative data analysis to explore the relationship between student identity and writing performance. A significant negative linear relationship was found between the degree to which the subject positions taken up by participants are culturally integrating and writing performance for participants who showed improvement in writing performance over the course of the study.
