[EN] The present action-research project in progress deals with the production and evaluation of “identity texts” (Cummins & Early, 2011) from EFL students in the context of a specific subject within the major of English Teacher in Primary Education at the Faculty of Education of the Universitat de València. This project is part of a larger “Innovation in education” project, whose main objective is to promote the use of identity texts as the key strategy of the “teaching for linguistic transfer” approach (Cummins, 2005b). Identity texts foster learners’ cognitive and academic transfer from their first language (L1) to their second or foreign language (L2/FL), and offer students an opportunity to explore their “selves” through the use of written, oral, visual, musical and theatrical texts or a combination of all these into a multimodal whole (i.e., videos, digital stories, etc.). In the present project, learners are encouraged to explore their identities as EFL learners with the aim of a) raising their awareness of who they are as language learners acquiring a L2/FL, i.e., what kinds of learners they are and how they learn, b) helping them develop their cognitive and academic language proficiency skills, and c) helping them develop their digital competence
