Abstract

The main thrust of the study was to explore the Impact Values in terms of identity construction. To this end, 10 lessons out of the 30 lessons were examined in terms of gender, ethnicity, occupation, religious and culture membership. Analyzing the data, Van Leewens (2008) framework which involves two main dimensions of social actors and social actions were utilized and adopted. It was illustrated that men were mainly portrayed in association with active social roles wherein they play a more active part comparing their female counterparts who are passivaized through going under the influence of an activity. The results of the study indicated to a hybrid, multiple identities resort to the main strategies of inclusion and exclusion wherein the interaction between the two strategies of inclusion and exclusion resulted into differentiation in which a gender-based identity is expressed; However, the ethnic, religious, and social identities seem to be backgrounded with a few traces if any. Likewise, the most over identification is related to cultural identity in which the western identity is being portrayed and subconsciously penetrate into the minds of language learners which reminds us Skeltons (1997) hidden curriculum. Accordingly, the three variables of content, strategies and realization were resemiotized in order to manifest a hybrid and multiple representation of social identity with its focus on gender representation
