This article presents how the university students’ sense of agency arises throughout their English learning. In order to understand the emergence of the sense of agency in the students, a qualitative research was performed in two complementary phases. The students narrated their experiences through digital stories in the first stage and during deepening interviews in the second. The sense of agency is approached from students’ experiences inside and beyond the classroom. The research results explain that the interaction between the students’ intra and interpersonal dimensions, and the contextual structure of their experiences turn them meaningful.
