description Thanks to the advent of the Internet, language learners nowadays manifest themselves differently across multiple online spaces. This has presented a challenge for language teachers in monitoring the learning outcomes of their learners on digital platforms. With an attempt to solve this problem, we need to clarify the term “identity” to gain a better understanding of the behaviors and attitudes of learners, from which we then suggest measures for enhancing language teaching practices in the digital age. To achieve this aim, the paper looks at how language and identity were defined by Norton and other post-structuralists. It then reviews some current debates on digital identity. Drawing on sociocultural line of inquiry, I then conclude the paper by highlighting some implications for foreign language teaching and a promising agenda for further research into this field in the digital age.
