ABSTRACT This article investigates students’ perceptions towards English(es), English(es) they desire, and (in)justice in English language teaching (ELT) practices in Indonesian multilingual contexts. Data from semi-structured interviews with five students majoring Arabic Language and Literature at an Islamic university in East Java, Indonesia, were analysed using native speakerism and linguistic imperialism frameworks. The university requires all students to enrol in English for Specific Purposes and Intensive English courses that are worth six credits and to obtain a particular TOEFL score before undergraduate thesis examination. The findings demonstrate that native English maintains its superiority, gains positive association, and is desired to offer chances for international participation such as working in international/multinational companies or studying overseas. Students’ teaching/learning activities are dictated under a native English regime. However, limited understanding and lack of awareness of World Englishes or English as lingua franca concepts have contributed to the construction of such ELT as fair practice.

ABSTRACT The increasing use of English as a global language has challenged many the fundamental assumptions underpinning English langugae teaching (ELT). The Global Englishes (GE) paradigm acknowledges linguistic diversity associated with English use today, highlighting the need for this diverse profile of English to be reflected in language classrooms. This article reports on the effect of raising Thai English learners’ awareness of GE on their perceptions of English language learning and use. Findings revealed a positive influence of GE awareness raising on students’ perceptions of various aspects related to language learning and use, including gaining more self-confidence in language use, developing respectful attitudes toward English varieties and speakers, redefining language learning purposes and goals, and reconceptualizing the ideal instructional model. The study maintains that it is crucial for current ELT to continue to expose learners to the plurality of Englishes in order to prepare them for the complexity of English encounters.
摘要英语作为一种全球性语言的使用日益增多,这对支撑英语教学的许多基本假设提出了挑战。全球英语(GE)范式承认与当今英语使用相关的语言多样性,强调了在语言课堂上反映英语多样性的必要性。本文报告了提高泰国英语学习者对通用电气的认识对他们英语学习和使用的看法的影响。研究结果显示,通用电气意识的提高对学生对语言学习和使用的各个方面的看法产生了积极影响,包括在语言使用中获得更多的自信,培养对英语变体和说话者的尊重态度,重新定义语言学习目的和目标,以及重新定义理想的教学模式。该研究认为,当前的英语教学至关重要的是继续让学习者接触多种英语,为他们应对复杂的英语遭遇做好准备。

ABSTRACT This case study investigates the identity formation of two Japanese female English majors in Japan. In documenting and understanding how their identity formation as English users unfolds, we turned to theories on ideologies and English imperialism. In particular, we concentrated on how particular chronotopes give rise to particular constructure to identify classroom and interactive aspects conducive to English learning. It was discovered how community formation shaped by in-class discourse is crucial, impacting the formation of positive self-image as an English user. There is also an undercurrent of public discourse that can conflict and impede the realization of a competent English user identity. Given the ubiquitous and inconspicuous nature of public discourse, eradicating negative perception is challenging, but teachers’ high expectation toward the students in the form of numerous, challenging tasks along with positive feedback allowed students to reimagine their English user identity.

ABSTRACT This article discusses Japan’s idealization and adoration of English language while at the same time being an insular monolingual nation. English has been an imperative foreign language in Japan from the mid-1800s; today, English is regarded as one of the most important school subjects . However, most Japanese people hold anxiety about their English learning experiences. The average person lives with a dilemma of not being able to use English despite having learned it for many years. One noticeable by-product of the dilemma is rampant use of English loanwords in everyday Japanese language. Paradoxically, such loanwords tend to undergo lexical shifts in Japanese contexts beyond original meanings until native English speaers are unable to comprehend their meanings. This paper discusses the hypothetical reasons why English education stays unsuccessful, and (2) Japanese people love to rely on use of English loanwords (Japanese Anglicism) instead of speaking English.
摘要本文论述了日本作为一个孤立的单语国家对英语的理想化和崇拜。自19世纪中期以来,英语一直是日本的一门强制性外语;今天,英语被认为是学校最重要的科目之一。然而,大多数日本人对自己的英语学习经历感到焦虑。尽管已经学了很多年英语,但普通人生活在无法使用英语的困境中。这种困境的一个明显副产品是日常日语中英语借词的大量使用。矛盾的是,这些外来词在日语语境中往往会发生超出原意的词汇变化,直到母语为英语的人无法理解它们的含义。本文讨论了英语教育失败的假设原因,以及(2)日本人喜欢使用英语外来词(日本圣公会)而不是说英语。

ABSTRACT Language is a vital part of an individual’s cultural identity. Language education policy is also an important part of a country’s national identity construction. This qualitative historical study situates the discussion of China’s foreign language education in the broader socio-historical context of national identity negotiation. The Chinese history of English education over a span of two centuries is critically reviewed as a case study to show the dynamic relationship between national identity and foreign language policy. Foreign language policy has been used as a tool in China to construct a desired national identity in different historical and geopolitical contexts of nation development and international relations. The Chinese case also serves to show the correlation between an open liberal foreign language policy and the achievement of national prosperity.

Insertion of the voiceless fricative [s] at word-final position in Japanese English 日语英语词尾位置无声旁擦音[s]的插入

ABSTRACT This article explains how the voiceless fricative [s], or what we refer to as ‘special [s],’ occurs in free talk produced by Japanese speakers of English and what this means for the current understanding of Japanese English. The discussion is based on a small corpus compiled by the authors from recordings. The findings are threefold. The special [s] is always voiceless, occurs only word-finally, and arises from four different pragmatic forces. These forces are discourse marker, hesitation, cause and effect, and expression of self. The definition of Japanese English has been built heavily on the influence of the first language (L1) on the second language (L2). While L1 transfer is integral to L2 English production, the present article supplements this view by disclosing facts about what L2 users do while they are engaged in speaking in English; that is, in usage events.
摘要本文解释了英语的日语使用者在自由交谈中产生的无声擦音[s],或我们所说的“特殊[s]”,以及这对当前对日语英语的理解意味着什么。讨论是基于作者从录音中汇编的一个小语料库。研究结果有三个方面。特殊语总是无声的,最后只出现一个词,由四种不同的语用力产生。这些力量是话语标记、犹豫、因果和自我表达。日语英语的定义在很大程度上建立在第一语言(L1)对第二语言(L2)的影响之上。虽然一级迁移是二级英语生产中不可或缺的一部分,但本文通过披露二级用户在用英语说话时所做的事情来补充这一观点;即在使用事件中。

The Hong Kong English accent continuum: insights from implicational scaling 香港英语口音连续体:从含义尺度看
IF 1.6 Q1 LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2022-01-31 DOI: 10.1080/13488678.2021.2004492

ABSTRACT The concept of the accent continuum is widely accepted in the study of new Englishes, yet relatively little is known about how distinctions such as educated versus broad accents are related to the presence or absence of accent features. This study applies the technique of implicational scaling to show how six key consonantal features are distributed across the HKE accent continuum. The basic principle is that the presence of certain features implies the presence of others, giving rise to clusters of features with regular patterns of co-occurrence. Using a standardised reading passage and a sample of 17 HKE speakers, the six features were found to follow such an implicational pattern in a statistically significant manner. The article discusses the possible explanations for these patterns, drawing on perspectives from second language acquisition and sociolinguistics, and concludes by considering the possible contributions of implicational scaling to the study of new Englishes.
摘要在新英语研究中,重音连续体的概念被广泛接受,但人们对受过教育的口音和广泛的口音等区别与重音特征的存在或不存在之间的关系知之甚少。本研究应用隐含量表技术来展示六个关键的辅音特征是如何分布在HKE重音连续体中的。基本原理是,某些特征的存在意味着其他特征的存在,从而产生具有规则共现模式的特征集群。使用一篇标准化的阅读文章和17名讲英语的人的样本,发现这六个特征以统计学显著的方式遵循这种隐含模式。本文从第二语言习得和社会语言学的角度讨论了对这些模式的可能解释,并通过考虑隐含量表对新英语研究的可能贡献得出结论。

ABSTRACT The global spread of English presents a multitude of challenges for teachers who must instruct learners differently to help them use English with a variety of people in multilingual contexts. However, prior research has largely ignored the question of how to support teachers to tackle these challenges. This study attempts to provide teacher professional development for implementing Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT). An explanatory mixed-methods research design was used to document the effects of a teacher professional development program received by teachers. The findings showed that teachers reported having increased knowledge of GELT, slightly changed attitudes toward GELT, and ambivalently improved skills for implementing GELT. Four aspects of the professional development contributed to these changes: practical, experiential, theoretical, and inspirational. Implications for providing GELT teacher professional development were also discussed.
摘要英语的全球传播给教师带来了诸多挑战,他们必须以不同的方式指导学习者,帮助他们在多语言环境中与不同的人一起使用英语。然而,先前的研究在很大程度上忽略了如何支持教师应对这些挑战的问题。本研究试图为实施全球英语语言教学(GELT)提供教师的专业发展。采用解释性混合方法研究设计来记录教师接受的教师专业发展计划的效果。研究结果显示,教师们报告说,他们对GELT的知识有所增加,对GELT态度略有改变,并矛盾地提高了实施GELT的技能。职业发展的四个方面促成了这些变化:实践性、体验性、理论性和启发性。还讨论了提供GELT教师专业发展的意义。

Re-positioning accent attitude in the Global Englishes paradigm: a critical phenomenological case study in the Chinese context 全球英语范式中重音态度的重新定位——一个中国语境下的批判性现象学个案研究
IF 1.6 Q1 LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2022-01-23 DOI: 10.1080/13488678.2021.2004806
Xi Zhang, Honggang Liu*
English varieties have long been researched in the field of sociolinguistics. In recent decades, globalisation has motivated researchers to focus more on Global Englishes (GE) (Rose & Galloway, 2019). GE is an inclusive paradigm that focuses on the diversity and fluidity of English use and English users against the backdrop of globalisation (Rose & Galloway, 2019). The number of English learners in China has reached approximately 400 million (Wei & Su, 2015), which plays a critical part in the globalised use of English. As a result, Dr Fan Fang adopts the GE paradigm to explore the Chinese context from a critical phenomenological perspective, which is a reflective way to revisit accent attitude to break rigid monolithic views of ‘English’. The opening chapter of this book first describes the current situation of English language teaching, the mainstream of which conforms to ‘native speaker’ varieties and fixed standards. Most English learners are not aware of the diversity and fluidity of English as a global language. Therefore, such a dilemma calls for transformation in English language teaching to fulfil the various purposes of English learners, such as achieving good intercultural communication and improving one’s economic future. The book then proceeds to GE theory and distinguishes GE from some parallel concepts like World Englishes (WE), English as a lingua franca (ELF) and translanguaging. The concept of ELF is in essence similar to English as an international language. ELF emphasises the communicative effectiveness among people of different mother tongues rather than a particular English variety with codifiable linguistic features. However, some scholars criticise it for neglecting the multiplicity of English (Phillipson, 2008). The WE paradigm is also criticised for its ignorance of the differences among English users within each concentric circle, given that all English varieties are categorised into three concentric circles based on the nations (Jenkins, 2006; Kachru, 1992). Rose and Galloway (2019) claim that GE is an umbrella term, a more inclusive one that can integrate the aforementioned concepts to avoid limiting GE research to specific models, regions or English user groups. This term has the features of continuity and integration, bringing the theory of global use of English into a new phase. In Chapter 2, different language ideologies relevant to English are discussed, since these language ideologies influence people’s attitudes towards the English language and their identity construction. An overview of language ideologies in relation to the diversified use of English is provided, including standard English, WE, ELF and translanguaging theory.

长期以来,社会语言学界一直在研究英语变体。近几十年来,全球化促使研究人员更多地关注全球英语(GE)(Rose&Galloway,2019)。通用电气是一个包容性的范式,专注于全球化背景下英语使用和英语用户的多样性和流动性(Rose&Galloway,2019)。中国的英语学习者人数已达到约4亿(Wei&Su,2015),这在英语的全球化使用中起着至关重要的作用。因此,范芳博士采用GE范式,从批判性现象学的角度来探索汉语语境,这是一种反思口音态度的方式,以打破僵化的“英语”单一观点。本书的第一章首先描述了英语教学的现状,英语教学的主流符合“母语者”的多样性和固定的标准。大多数英语学习者没有意识到英语作为一种全球性语言的多样性和流动性。因此,这种困境要求英语教学进行变革,以实现英语学习者的各种目的,如实现良好的跨文化交际和改善个人的经济前景。然后,本书继续探讨通用电气理论,并将通用电气与一些平行的概念区分开来,如世界英语(WE)、英语通用语(ELF)和跨语言。ELF的概念本质上类似于英语作为一种国际语言。ELF强调不同母语的人之间的交际效率,而不是具有可编纂语言特征的特定英语变体。然而,一些学者批评它忽视了英语的多样性(Phillipson,2008)。WE范式也因忽视每个同心圆内英语使用者之间的差异而受到批评,因为所有英语变体都根据国家划分为三个同心圆(Jenkins,2006;Kachru,1992)。Rose和Galloway(2019)声称,通用电气是一个总括性术语,一个更具包容性的术语,可以整合上述概念,以避免将通用电气的研究局限于特定的模型、地区或英语用户群体。这一术语具有连续性和整体性的特点,使英语全球使用理论进入了一个新的阶段。在第二章中,我们讨论了与英语相关的不同语言意识形态,因为这些语言意识形态影响着人们对英语的态度和他们的身份建构。概述了与英语多样化使用有关的语言意识形态,包括标准英语、WE、ELF和跨语言理论。作者同情语言的社会文化和社会语言学方面,这对理解各种语言意识形态具有重要意义。在第三章中,作者着重研究了汉语语境。本章从回顾英语在中国的使用入手,进入“中国英语”(CE)
{"title":"Re-positioning accent attitude in the Global Englishes paradigm: a critical phenomenological case study in the Chinese context","authors":"Xi Zhang, Honggang Liu*","doi":"10.1080/13488678.2021.2004806","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13488678.2021.2004806","url":null,"abstract":"English varieties have long been researched in the field of sociolinguistics. In recent decades, globalisation has motivated researchers to focus more on Global Englishes (GE) (Rose & Galloway, 2019). GE is an inclusive paradigm that focuses on the diversity and fluidity of English use and English users against the backdrop of globalisation (Rose & Galloway, 2019). The number of English learners in China has reached approximately 400 million (Wei & Su, 2015), which plays a critical part in the globalised use of English. As a result, Dr Fan Fang adopts the GE paradigm to explore the Chinese context from a critical phenomenological perspective, which is a reflective way to revisit accent attitude to break rigid monolithic views of ‘English’. The opening chapter of this book first describes the current situation of English language teaching, the mainstream of which conforms to ‘native speaker’ varieties and fixed standards. Most English learners are not aware of the diversity and fluidity of English as a global language. Therefore, such a dilemma calls for transformation in English language teaching to fulfil the various purposes of English learners, such as achieving good intercultural communication and improving one’s economic future. The book then proceeds to GE theory and distinguishes GE from some parallel concepts like World Englishes (WE), English as a lingua franca (ELF) and translanguaging. The concept of ELF is in essence similar to English as an international language. ELF emphasises the communicative effectiveness among people of different mother tongues rather than a particular English variety with codifiable linguistic features. However, some scholars criticise it for neglecting the multiplicity of English (Phillipson, 2008). The WE paradigm is also criticised for its ignorance of the differences among English users within each concentric circle, given that all English varieties are categorised into three concentric circles based on the nations (Jenkins, 2006; Kachru, 1992). Rose and Galloway (2019) claim that GE is an umbrella term, a more inclusive one that can integrate the aforementioned concepts to avoid limiting GE research to specific models, regions or English user groups. This term has the features of continuity and integration, bringing the theory of global use of English into a new phase. In Chapter 2, different language ideologies relevant to English are discussed, since these language ideologies influence people’s attitudes towards the English language and their identity construction. An overview of language ideologies in relation to the diversified use of English is provided, including standard English, WE, ELF and translanguaging theory. The author is sympathetic to the sociocultural and sociolinguistic aspects of language, which is of great importance to understand various language ideologies.
