摘要

大流行前的研究表明,东亚学生移民到东盟外围国家学习英语,并不意味着他们离开了一个理想化的英语世界。本研究通过对疫情期间在线学习成为主流的研究,进一步探讨了这些学生跟随外圈老师学习英语的意义。对200名20-59岁的日本女性英语学习者进行了问卷调查,这些女性英语学习者接受了西方和菲律宾教师提供的英语课程。文本数据分析表明,受访者对菲律宾教师的“亚洲性”及其英语为第二语言背景的本质赞赏是由于他们作为亚洲英语学习者努力学习“正确”英语的身份所致。与此同时,定量分析发现,许多日本女性将学习英语作为一种爱好,而不考虑她们的年龄和老师的种族。这一发现为日本女性英语学习者提供了额外的见解,鉴于边缘化的日本年轻女性渴望来自理想化西方的西方男性,这一问题得到了很好的讨论。此外,本研究透过统计分析私教原因的年龄差异及对教师口音的关注,探讨师生年龄/性别匹配对年轻或成熟日本女性英语学习者对主要由菲律宾年轻女性或西方男性授课的看法可能产生的影响。文章最后对未来的研究提出了建议,即在普遍存在的母语英语规范与内圈英语教师相关的情况下,向菲律宾和其他外圈英语教师学习英语的重要性。

Relationships Between Young/Older Japanese Women and Filipino/Western English Teachers: Age, Gender, Ethnicity and English-Speaker Status
Pre-pandemic studies indicate that East Asian students’ migration to ASEAN Outer Circle nations to study English by no means marks their departure from an idealized anglophone English world. Via research conducted during the pandemic when online learning had become mainstream, this study further explores the significance of such students’ English study with Outer Circle teachers. A questionnaire survey was administered to 200 Japanese female English learners aged 20–59 who have taken English lessons provided by both western and Filipino teachers. The textual data analyses reveal that the respondents’ essentialized appreciation of Filipino teachers’ ‘Asianness’ and their English-as-a-second-language background is caused by their identity as Asian English learners struggling to acquire ‘correct’ English. Meanwhile, quantitative analyses identify the presence of many Japanese women who study English as a hobby irrespective of their age and teachers’ ethnicity. This finding provides an additional insight about Japanese female English learners who are well discussed in light of marginalized young Japanese women's longing for western men from/in the idealized West. Moreover, based on the statistical analysis of age differences in reasons for taking private English lessons and concern about teachers’ accent, this study discusses a possible impact of teacher–student age/gender matching on young or mature Japanese female English learners’ perceptions about lessons provided by predominantly young Filipino women or western men. It concludes with suggestions for future research that examines the significance of learning English from Filipino and other Outer Circle English teachers amid the pervasive native English norms tied to Inner Circle English teachers.

期刊介绍: The RELC Journal is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language education. The aim of this Journal is to present information and ideas on theories, research, methods and materials related to language learning and teaching. Within this framework the Journal welcomes contributions in such areas of current enquiry as first and second language learning and teaching, language and culture, discourse analysis, language planning, language testing, multilingual education, stylistics, translation and information technology. The RELC Journal, therefore, is concerned with linguistics applied to education and contributions that have in mind the common professional concerns of both the practitioner and the researcher.
