| Summary: | The main purpose of this research is to add to the body of research on language education offered by foreign entities in the Philippines from the point of view of Filipino language students. Through the lens of Postcolonialism, the research reveals how the language students abrogate their newfound language with their local languages. This also unearths the differences of their attitudes towards the cultures through their language learning. The study taps students under Alliance Française Manila (AFM) and Instituto Cervantes Manila (ICM) as a chance to compare the results between a previous colonial European language versus a European language with no colonial ties with the Philippines. The researcher used a narrative research design, collecting information through individual interviews. The participants of the study were 10 Filipino language students from each institution to produce sufficient data to generate the findings. Thus, it was found that the factors contained in the study discerns how the language skills and usage establish the students’ formation of distinct cultural identities which exudes hybridity within their niches.
