  • Abstract:
  • This paper investigates the studies of memory and identity as methods of learning the English language, in addition to the retention of their vocabulary and acquisition of grammar rules. It examines the construction of linguistic competencies by learners using their own and shared memories and identities and is based on the theories of cognitive psychology, sociolinguistics and educational approaches. The study looks into the effects of memory when it comes to vocabulary, language production and understanding. In addition, it investigates the role of cultural identities in motivation, engagement, and language use in classrooms, with a focus on the two-way relationship between language and identity. The article deals with ethical issues, emphasising comprehensive expression and respect for other identities. The work also uses passages of Amitav Ghosh, Toru Dutt, and Salman Rushdie; in the excerpts created by them, it is revealed that text with the emphasis on memory and identity is much more productive in terms of vocabulary memorisation and other linguistic elements. The described relationship between these themes and improved linguistic gains can be informative in the work with teachers who aim to find new methods that would allow maximising language learning outcomes.
