The purpose of this study was to investigate English as a second language adult learners' perceptions about language learning as a product of their socio-cultural experiences in Puerto Rico. A qualitative method was used to identify, describe, and analyze socio-cultural factors that contributed to second language learners' perception on learning English as a second language (ESL) in Puerto Rico after having received formal English instruction for twelve years in the Public School System. The study explored the role socio-cultural experiences in Puerto Rico played on the attitude of adult second language learners, how their attitudes affected their English learning, and how adult second language learners perceived the future of English instruction in Puerto Rico's Public School System. Using a case study design, three participants were chosen by convenience sampling. Interviews extending a three week period, reflexive journals, and English curricular guides from Puerto Rico's Department of Education were used to collect the data and triangulate the results. The findings of the study revealed that socio-cultural experiences such as family support, exposure to the second language, motivation, classroom experiences, teacher's attitudes, classroom methodologies, and cultural identity were among those identified by the Participants as having a direct connection to their positive or negative perception on their learning of ESL in Puerto Rico. Further research on the perceptions of the ESL educator concerning the learning and teaching practices of English as a second language on the Island was recommended to gain a deeper understanding of the socio-cultural factors that affect ESL learners in Puerto Rico.
