Submission Date: 28/11/2016 Acceptance Date:04/13/2017 Abstract The discrimination between native and non-native English speaking teachers is reported in favor of native speakers in literature. The present study examines the linguistic insecurity of non-native English speaking teachers (NNESTs) and investigates its influence on learners' productive skills by using SPSS software. The eighteen teachers participating in this research study are from different countries, mostly Asian, and they all work in a language institute in Ankara, Turkey. The learners who participated in this work are 300 intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced English learners. The data related to teachers' linguistic insecurity were collected by questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and proficiency tests. Pearson Correlation and ANOVA Tests were used and the results revealed that NNESTs' linguistic insecurity, neither female nor male teachers, is not significantly correlated with the learners' writing and speaking scores. © 2017 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS. Keywords: linguistic insecurity, non-native English teachers, productive skills, questionnaire, interview, proficiency test 1. Introduction There is no doubt today that English is the unrivaled lingua franca of the world with the largest number of non-native speakers.

  • Diglossia and Beyond
    Chapter 9 Diglossia and Beyond Jürgen Jaspers Introduction Diglossia in simple terms refers to the use of two varieties in the same society for com- plementary purposes.1 As unassuming as this may sound, the concept can undoubtedly be called one of the grandes dames or, depending on your critical disposition, monstres sacrés of the sociolinguistic stage, against which new, would-be contenders still have to prove themselves, if they ever manage to emulate its success. For although the con- cept may increasingly be found old- school, politically conservative, and leaving some- thing to be desired in terms of its descriptive and explanatory adequacy, diglossia is still a widely acclaimed celebrity if you keep score of its occurrence in sociolinguistic, language- pedagogical, and linguistic anthropological work. What could be the reasons for this popularity? One obvious reason is that diglossia has been attracting a fair share of criticism in each of these disciplines. But another is certainly that diglossia practicably, in a single term, portrays the sometimes quite wide- spread and in a number of occasions astoundingly long- standing divisions of labor that obtain between the different varieties, registers, or styles that people produce and recog- nize. Indeed, diglossia alludes to two of the most basic, and therefore also most fascinat- ing, sociolinguistic findings— namely, that people talk and write differently even in the most homogeneous of communities, and that they do so in principled ways that matter to them so much that those who fail to observe these principles have to deal with the consequences (cf. Woolard, 1985: 738).

  • Caste in the Same Mold Again: Artisans and the Indignities of Inheritance in Sri Lanka
    CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aimée Catherine Douglas December 2017 ©2017 Aimée Catherine Douglas CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA Aimée Catherine Douglas, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 In a context of transforming expectations regarding the who, how, and what of heritage stewardship around the world, this dissertation examines caste’s revitalization through boundary work carried out by a variety of actors and across a range of practical and discursive moments. Through a wide selection of ethnographic vignettes, it analyzes such boundary work around caste from multiple vantage points to illustrate how this category of identification is reproduced in tension with and in the service of neoliberal processes that have shaped Sri Lanka’s “traditional craft industries” since the 1977 implementation of an “open economy policy.” Grounded in two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the country’s central province, the dissertation offers anthropological insight into what happens at the level of everyday experience when the logics of neoliberal economics and democratic egalitarianism become entangled with nationalist investments in heritage on the one hand, and the apparent specters of pre-modern preoccupations with hierarchy and honor on the other. In this majority Buddhist island country, caste among the Sinhalese has long been popularly rejected as an anachronistic and lamentable artifact of pre- colonial society, its public discussion generally avoided to an extreme (Silva and Hettihewage 2001:63).

  • The Importance of Self-Identity and Ego Permeability in Foreign Culture Adaptation and Foreign Language Acquisition
    『経営学論集』第25巻第1号，65‐104頁，2014年7月 KYUSHU SANGYO UNIVERSITY, KEIEIGAKU RONSHU（BUSINESS REVIEW） Vol.25，No. 1，65‐104，2014 〔Articles（論説）〕 The Importance of Self-Identity and Ego Permeability in Foreign Culture Adaptation and Foreign Language Acquisition Timothy Dean Keeley Abstract This paper focuses on the role that self-identity and ego permeability playin determining an individual’s ability to function effectively in foreign cultures and gain fluency in foreign languages. In a quantitative study, I examined the relationship between cultural adaptation and foreign language acquisition in terms of the psychological traits that are deemed to influence success/failure in both these endeavors (Keeley, 2013). The study was carried out with 86 Chinese students studying in Japanese (as the language of instruction) at Kyushu Sangyo University in Fukuoka, Japan. The main quantitative instrument used to measure psychological traits that facilitate cultural adaptation was Kozai Group’s Global Competency Inventory (GCI). Some additional psychometric scales focusing more on foreign language acquisition were also employed. The 16 items of the GCI as well as the additional psychometric scales served as independent variables while the students’ relative rankings in Japanese oral/aural performance served as the dependent variable. Among the 16 competencies that comprise the GCI, Self-Identity proved to have one of the strongest associations with the Chinese students’ oral/aural ability in Japanese. Likewise, Language Ego Permeability (a non-GCI scale) was also strongly associated with their oral/aural ability in Japanese. The aim of this paper is to provide an in-depth look at Self-Identity and Language Ego Permeability in relation to cultural adaptation and foreign language acquisition.

  • Dialect Stabilization and Speaker Awareness in Non-Native Varieties of Englishi
    This is a pre-print version of an article in: Journal of Sociolinguistics 9/2 (2005) Please consult published version for final version, including correct phonetic symbols. Dialect stabilization and speaker awareness in non-native varieties of Englishi Devyani Sharma Abstract Research on indigenized non-native varieties of English has aimed to distinguish these varieties from individual second language learning in structural and social terms (Kachru 1983; Platt, Weber, and Ho 1984; Cheshire 1991); however, quantitative evidence of this divergence remains scarce. Through an analysis of a range of Indian English speakers in a contact situation in the United States, this study distinguishes developing dialect features from second language learning features and explores the concomitant emergence of dialect consciousness. First, an implicational analysis shows that some non- standard variables (past marking, copula use, agreement) exhibit a second language learning cline while others (articles) form a more stable, incipient non-standard system shared to some extent by all speakers; a multivariate analysis suggests that both sets of variables are governed by proficiency levels. I then assess the explanatory scope of proficiency by examining the use of selected phonological variants (rhoticity, l-velarization, aspiration). The use of these features resembles native-like style shifting, as it appears to be more sensitive to speakers’ attitudinal stances than proficiency levels. This points to the importance of understanding emerging speaker awareness
