  • Native Speakers in Linguistic Imperialism Robert Phillipson
    Native speakers in linguistic imperialism Robert Phillipson Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Abstract An investigation of Native English Speaking Teachers’ performance in schemes in six Asian contexts, commissioned by the British Council, and undertaken by three British academics, is subjected to critical evaluation. Key issues for exploration are the issue of a monolingual approach to English learning and teaching, and the inappropriate qualifications of those sent to education systems when they are unfamiliar with the learners’ languages, cultures, and pedagogical traditions. Whether the schemes involved constitute linguistic imperialism is analysed. Whereas the need for multilingual competence is recognised as desirable by some British experts, the native speakers in question seldom have this key qualification. This is even the case when the host country (Brunei) aims at bilingual education. It is unlikely that the host countries are getting value for money. Whether the UK and other ‘English- speaking’ countries have relevant expertise is questionable. There is therefore a definite need for a change of paradigm, one based on principles for effective foreign language teaching. Some but far from all Western ‘experts’ recognize this need, whereas scholars and teachers elsewhere do. Five fallacies that underpin the linguicism of British pedagogical expertise are generally involved in native speaker export businesses. They underpin a hierarchy with under- qualified native speakers projected as superior to local teachers who are seen as in need of foreign ‘aid’. In view of the British bodies involved openly declaring the economic and geopolitical agenda behind this English teaching business, there is clear evidence of linguistic imperialism in the functions of this global professional service.

DOI: 10.1002/9781405198431.wbeal1073. Title: Robert Phillipson Author: Tove Skutnabb-Kangas Robert Phillipson was born in the United Kingdom in 1942. He was a chorister at St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir School in London from 1950 to 1956 (the choir toured the United States for two months in 1953), after which he was a scholar at Cranbrook School in Kent. In 1961 he spent six months in Austria, Germany and France before studying at the University of Cambridge. He completed a BA in Modern Languages and Law in 1964, and was employed by the British Council from 1964 to 1973. Robert Phillipson (RP) trained as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language at the British Institute in Madrid, Spain, and from 1965 to 1968 was attached to the British Institute in Algiers and various Algerian higher education institutions. This involvement in a country that had recently achieved independence kindled a lifelong interest in colonialism, language policy, and efforts to achieve a more just world order. RP studied for an MA in Linguistics and English Language Teaching at the University of Leeds 1968-69. His thesis was on intonation in court cross-examination, using recordings from the Survey of English Usage at University College, London. This was an early effort at studying language in context before discourse analysis and forensic linguistics became established. He also took an elective course in African literature in English.
