A Qualitative Study of an Intensive English Program The Interconnectedness between Translingual Negotiation Strategies and Translingual Identities: A Qualitative Study of an Intensive English Program in Gorontalo - Indonesia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yohanes Nugroho Widiyanto, M.Ed. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Keiko Samimy, Advisor Adrian Rodgers, Co- advisor Alan Hirvela Copyrighted by Yohanes Nugroho Widiyanto 2016 Abstract In a globalized word, English has become the primary means of communication in language contact zone (Pratt, 1991; Thomason, 2001) where people of diverse socioeconomic and cultural background interact with each other. Under a monolingual paradigm, non-native English speakers have been denied the use of linguistic and paralinguistic resources from their L1. Translingual Practice (Canagarajah, 2013c) contests this paradigm and gives agency to English learners in postcolonial regions by not dichotomizing native and non-native speakers, but treating them all as translinguals who are engaged in shaping English norms. During this interaction, translinguals deploy their negotiation strategies not only for meaning negotiation but also language identity development (Ellis, 2013; Jenkins, 2006; Seidlhofer, 2009). This research was conducted in the context of an intensive English program in Gorontalo, a relatively new province in Indonesia where the presence of English native speakers is not prominent. The language contact zone was expected to encourage the participants’ (American volunteer teachers and Indonesian students) to deploy their translingual negotiation strategies in their oral communication. The first research question aims to enact those negotiation strategies which happened in personal, social, contextual and textual spheres. The second research purpose, which is highly related to the first research question, is how the enactment shapes their translingual identities. ii However, the spacio-temporal aspect of the enactment was expanded by reflecting beyond the intensive English program. This qualitative inquiry was conducted through multiple data collection procedures; e.g. collecting participants’ demographic data, pre- and post questionnaires, interviewing, stimulated recall protocol, observation, journal writing and autoethnographical writing. The analysis of translingual negotiation strategies follows Canagarajah’s (2013c) framework of integrated analysis which focuses on classroom discourse during the program. This analysis of classroom interaction aims at depicting the deployment of macro strategies of envoicing, recontextualization, interactional and entextualization strategies with several micro strategies in each speech event. The analysis of the second data set mainly focuses on the participants’ reflections on learning and teaching English which shape their language identity. Dealing with the first question, the research depicts the enactment of the macro strategies of translingual negotiation. The first macro strategy is envoicing strategies in which the research participants showed their language, social and personal identities during classroom interaction. The multilingual speakers did not feel discouraged in using their idiosyncrasies in grammar and diction while still wanting to improve their English through using it. They also used code mixing, code switching and even code messing as a way to express their voice despite their limited access to resources in the target language. In term of social identity, both the native speaker teacher and multilingual learners shared their opinions based on their national, ethnic, gender and religious affiliations to voice their interests of the intriguing issues of classroom discussion. In term of personal iii identity, the participants deployed pragmatic strategies to show their personality traits whether they were more introvert or extrovert during meaning negotiations. Interactional strategies are quite well developed in communicative strategy research (Kirkpatrick, 2007) so that the micro strategies that interlocutors used are congruent with the literature. However, the significant difference in this analysis of these meaning negotiation processes is the attitude of not marking the meaning discrepancy during the interaction as an error. These strategies are also the most effective devices employed by the American volunteer teachers to reach the uptakes as well as to develop students’ competence in English. Mary’s (pseudonym, the native speaker teacher) strategy of using the ‘let-it-pass’ principle as a way of acknowledging the students’ translingual competence without necessarily ignoring the mistakes that her students made. Dealing with recontextualization strategies, both multilingual and native speaker participants used “framing” and “footing” (Goffman, 1981) to contextualize the topics from the textbook that are mostly taken from American sources. The fact that Marydid not always have sufficient knowledge about the issues had encouraged the multilingual learners to use their “footing” to make the interaction run smoothly. On the other hand, John (pseudonym, the other American teacher) employed multimodality to show that language resources are beyond words. His competence as a polyglot, especially in mastering Arabic which is highly honored in Muslim region such as in Gorontalo, and his enthusiasm in speaking local languages (Indonesian and Gorontalo languages) became his added value in creating “footing” appropriate in the class discussion. iv The participants deployed entextualization strategies to strengthen other strategies. They monitored their speech by using a gradual approach to convey their main intention to make sure that other interlocutors understood their utterances. Some micro strategies that they employed were simplification, segmentation, regularization and leveling. The research shows that interactional and envoicing strategies have greater impact to the process of second language teaching and learning than the contextual and entextualization strategies. The envoicing strategies have enhanced students’ initiative to participate in the classroom interaction despite their limited knowledge of English. On the other hand, the deployment of interactional strategies have made the two American volunteer teachers scaffold the learning. However, more research is needed to develop a more comprehensive taxonomy of translingual negotiation strategies The deployment of these translignual negotiation strategies that are innate capacity, especially for those who live in pluriligual country like Indonesia, have shaped the vocal participants of English teachers. The second analysis of participants' language identities shows diverse paradigms ranging from monolingual, multilingual to translingual tendency. Their perspective can be placed into a continuum where Mary was on the tendency of monolingual identities and Julie (pseudonym, one of the students) was on the other end of holding translingual identities. Julie was the only participant who dared to challenge monolingual approach even during her formation as a pre-service English teacher. Her determination to challenge the norms was truly connected with the negotiation strategies that she employed during the intensive English course. In her case, v the interconnectedness of translingual negotiation strategies and translingual identities found its realization. vi Acknowledgments I am fully aware that the completion of this dissertation cannot be accomplished without the hard work, guidance, and prayers from several people who have been kindly supporting with me, especially when I was stuck and about to give up in continuing this intellectual journey. I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Keiko Samimy, who has inspired me to raise the dignity of non-native English speaker (NNES) teachers which becomes the underlying principle of this dissertation. Her intellectual achievement as a scholar in the field has been the foundation of this endeavor that encourages English learners and teachers from Indonesia to be brave in participating in this discourse community. Her warm personality has touched my heart especially when I lost my beloved former advisor, Dr. Hancock during this process. I am also greatly indebted to Dr. Adrian Rodgers, my co-Advisor, who gave me the idea forresearching the intensive English program when I worked with him at USINTEC office. His encouragement in completing this dissertation, especially when I thought that it was an impossible task, has been beyond my expectations. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Alan Hirvela as my committee member, both in candidacy exam and dissertation. I have always been grateful for his vii dedication to our department, especially to international students like me who have to encounter triple socialization in our struggle as PhD students. I would like to thanks those who have given me the chance to pursue my doctoral degree in the U.S.: the Indonesian government c.q. the Directorate of Higher Education, Fulbright scholarship program, and Widya Mandala Catholic University, Surabaya, especially my university president and my dean who have supported me a lot in my hardest times. I would like to thank my participants of this study, especially Mary, Roger, Farid, Yunita, Yusna, Susi, Elizabeth, Infri, Yulan, Helena, and all staff of the English Department

  • Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI of ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP
    Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI OF ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP 1.1. Background In 1912 the following billboard written in Sotho, Zulu and English appeared in Alexandra Township advertising freehold properties. First, this advert points to the obvious; Africans were already engaging in private property at the turn of the 20th century. This township was subdivided into 2,500 stands which were sold to individuals. Title deeds were given to the individuals once payment was concluded. Second, it indicates that Africans were acquiring private property away from a „traditional village‟ where access to property is said to be communal. A closer look at the acquisition processes of such properties unsettles the notion of private property as individual. It becomes increasingly clear in the study that in spite of the naming of an individual in the titled deed it was not uncommon for family resources to be pooled during acquisition of the said property and hence a shared ownership among members of extended families would be understood. The following conversations attest to some of these experiences. Mme Mihloti explains how her parents and her siblings purchased their properties. 1 Ko 15th o ka re ke nako e abuti a bereka le mosu ausi, ke bona ba neng ba thusa mokgalabe. ......... Bona ke itse ba berekile ba thusa, ba ntshitse chelete ausi le abuti, ena Lucas. …….1 (It seemes like when my brother and sister were working, they are the ones who helped the old man with purchasing the property at 15th Avenue. I do know that they contributed some money helping our father in acquiring the properties…… Another example is drawn from mme Hunadi‟s family.

What normal man hasn’t used the services of a prostitute at least once? Those who claim they haven’t—would they also swear that they were never even tempted? Even famous lovers like Don Juan and Casanova didn’t underestimate the charms of prostitutes and yet they were certainly not deprived of feminine com- pany. (Jammot & Rocheteix, 1954: 130.) In a study entitled Tourism, Prostitution and AIDS, Mechtild Maurer affirmed that “[...] in every day life as well as in research and legislation prostitution continues to be considered as solely concerning the prostitute while completely ignoring the existence of the client” (1992: 25).

  • A Profecia Da Babilônia 2
    1 TIM LAHAYE & GREG DINALLO O SGRDO NO ARARAT A ROFIA DA AILNIA LIRO TRADUÇÃO DOMINGOS FILHO DEDICADO À MEMÓRIA DO FAMOSO astronauta coronel James Irwin, que pisou na Lua em 1971. Sua fé em Jesus Cristo e na Bíblia levou o a buscar de maneira diligente durante a década de 1980 a sempre elusiva Arca de Noé, que muitos acreditam que um dia será encontrada no topo dos picos rochosos de Ararat, onde ela foi preservada em gelo por cerca de 5 mil anos — esperando que alguém como ele localize o que muitos espe- ram que seja “a maior descoberta arqueológica de todos os tempos”. INTRODUÇÃO ANTES MESMO DO GRANDE TERREMOTO DE 1840 , que apagou quase um terço das regiões superiores do monte Ararat, foram relatadas visões dos restos da Arca de Noé. Pessoas críveis deixa- ram registros nos quais afirmam tê-los visto, desde pessoas que habitam a área da montanha a exploradores profissionais. Há evidências consideráveis de que pelo menos 150 soldados da Rússia Branca os viram e examinaram em 1917, pouco antes da revolução bolchevique. A evidência da preservação dessa irrefu- tável prova da história bíblica de Noé e sua família, preservando a humanidade, pode bem ser a mais importante descoberta arqueo- lógica de todos os tempos. No entanto, quando reunimos todos os relatos, há um fio as- sustador que os costura e une. Deve haver uma força sinistra e oposta aos valentes esforços de todos os pesquisadores, algo que os impediu de até o presente ver a luz do dia. Mas acreditamos que a exploração ganha velocidade e que podemos ser, de fato, a geração que finalmente vai revelar a Arca de Noé aos olhos de todo mundo.
