Abstract

With the growing interest in linguistic landscape in sociolinguistic studies, many language educators and researchers have begun to consider how the sociolinguistic concept and analytic methods can be mobilized for language learning and teaching. To explore the pedagogical potential of linguistic landscape, this study examines how pre-service teachers understand the concept and implications of linguistic landscape for English education. For this purpose, 35 South Korean pre-service elementary school teachers taking a multimedia English course attended a session about linguistic landscape and engaged in two activities using multimedia resources and online platforms: a virtual linguistic landscape task and a linguistic landscape fieldwork project. The analysis of the learning outcomes of these two activities revealed that linguistic landscapes helped pre-service teachers increase their language awareness of public language use. However, their engagement with language awareness was affected by the spaces they chose to collect public signs. In their reflections on the activities, the pre-service teachers indicated that linguistic landscapes could be valuable resources for authentic English and cultural learning. They also stated that the levels of linguistic difficulty and cultural contents of public signage should be controlled. This article concludes by discussing how linguistic landscape can contribute to improving English teachers’ critical language awareness.

语言景观对英语教与学的教学潜力——对一门多媒体英语课程中职前小学教师活动的分析
随着社会语言学研究对语言景观的兴趣日益浓厚,许多语言教育者和研究者开始考虑如何将社会语言学的概念和分析方法运用到语言学习和教学中。为了探索语言景观的教学潜力,本研究考察了职前教师如何理解语言景观的概念及其对英语教育的影响。为此,参加多媒体英语课程的35名韩国职前小学教师参加了语言景观课程,并利用多媒体资源和网络平台进行了虚拟语言景观任务和语言景观实地考察项目两项活动。对这两种活动的学习结果分析表明,语言景观有助于职前教师提高公共语言使用的语言意识。然而,他们对语言意识的参与受到他们选择收集公共标志的空间的影响。职前教师在对活动的反思中指出,语言景观可能是纯正英语和文化学习的宝贵资源。他们还指出,公共标志的语言难度和文化内容应该得到控制。本文最后讨论了语言景观如何有助于提高英语教师的批判性语言意识。
