Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to establish how the multilingualism affects foreign language teachers in their ways of thinking, their emotions, their notion of identity and experiences. The instrument of research was semi-structured interview and the participants were three English language teachers. Their different backgrounds, different countries they lived in as well as their different ages enabled very interesting insight in the world of the multilingual speakers in which the intercultural experience had very strong influence on forming their identity. All three participants find their multilingualism as an advantage that enables the communication in the global world.
