Abstract Learning a foreign language has an undeniable influence on the identity of EFL learners. Learning foreign languages help the learners to gain multiple identities, so they are able to have multiple speech roles in different communities. In this area, there are questions that are central to education and learning; how is a learner\\\'s changing identity related to the process of language learning and education? And under what conditions do language learners speak? Something that should also be considered in the area of education is the point that, operating in another culture enables people to reflect how their own identity has been shaped by the society they grew up in. Education and language learning is of great importance in the Middle East and Iranian setting. Having a new language identity and being familiar with another culture is the main reason for some Iranian students who are learning a foreign language. The degree of success in learning a foreign language correlates positively with teaching and the learners’ desire to have a new identity. This article will first discuss the concept of education and language teaching and its importance on learning and the learner’s social life among Iranian students. Then, it will present the reasons for having new language identities and the development of identities in Iran. Then the paper will present that how the intervention of the learner’s (speaker’s) identity and his/her native language is of great importance in teaching and learning a foreign language. The paper will then conclude that, how do Iranian students and language learners evaluate their new identities, teachers and teaching methods? And what are those errors that happen in the process of teaching and learning a foreign language?
