In view of the growing strategic need for internationalization of universities, a study on the effects of this action for exchange students is important in order to understand and evaluate the process. Since few studies address the issue, the present research aims to analyze in a critical and reflective way, under an identity perspective, the possible effects of exchange programs in the education of students of Languages and collaborate to understand the relevance of the international experience in identity formation. For this, the study adopts a qualitative methodological approach. It is a case study, in which data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to four exchange students. From the collected data, a categorization of the data was carried out to enable an interpretative analysis. To support the analysis, we rely mainly on studies on identity and cultural contexts, mainly in the light of Hall (2006), Block (2009), and Barkhuizen (2017), and on identity and language learning, based on Norton (2013) and Kramsch (2013). With the research objectives, theoretical basis and methodology outlined, the results of the data analysis showed mainly that the students went through identity transformations that led them to reflect on the differences in academic relationships, the teaching format, new professional paths and the need to promote and disseminate exchange programs.
