Volume 13, Issue 4 Foreword In this, the final quarterly edition of 2011, we have the opportunity to engage with a wealth of research, perspectives, approaches and theories which all have clear implications for the field of English language teaching across Asia. In Word-Meaning Inference: A Longitudinal Investigation of Inference Accuracy and Strategy Use, Hamada and Park, recognising the importance of strategies employed to infer meaning when reading in a second language, investigate the word-meaning inference behaviours of three college-level ESL students. The findings of this qualitative study are discussed in relation to previous literature, and implications for teachers and future research are highlighted. The second article, The Impact of Assessment Change on Language Learning Strategies: The Views of a Small Group of Chinese Graduate Students Studying in the UK by Jiang and Sharpling, qualitatively investigates the experiences and perceptions of Chinese students studying at a UK University vis-à-vis the shifting assessment orientations that they inevitably encounter, both before arriving in the UK and during their time there. The authors offer substantial insights into the influence of assessment on the choice and development of language learning strategies, as well as the diverse factors that influence the experiences, learning behaviours, perceptions and values of the students in their study. In Second Language Development through Technology Mediated Strategic Interaction, Johnson and deHaan give a detailed account of the design and implementation of technology-mediated strategic interaction tools for a group of Japanese university students. They give an overview of problems that Japanese university students in their context typically face, problems that, according to their theoretical discussions and initial results, can be more effectively met with approaches that are driven by a deep understanding of the fundamental nature of language learning alongside contextual awareness. 6 Asian EFL Journal. Volume 13, Issue 4 The next article is Nguyen’s Learner Self-management Procedures Reported by Advanced and Intermediate ESL Students, in which the author reports the results of a New Zealand based study of intermediate and advanced ESL students’ self-management procedures, adding to a growing amount of literature in the field. Various research tools were used to gain insights into students’ practices. Similarities and differences between the two groups of learners are identified and critically discussed in relation to current understandings, theories and debates. In The Effect of Collaboration on the Cohesion and Coherence of L2 Narrative Discourse between English NS and Korean L2 English Users, Crosthwaite investigates differences between native English speakers and Korean English learners in terms of cohesive reference maintenance and the role of scaffolding on the accuracy of the latter’s discursive performances. To achieve this, spoken data are analysed and compared in to identify specific grammatical forms that have an important role in maintaining coherent reference to discourse referents. From this, the role of scaffolding is analysed to ascertain its role in maintaining coherence and accuracy among the Korean speakers. Findings from this study suggest an important role for scaffolding in enhancing coherence and easing difficulties managing accurate reference maintenance. The sixth article, Socio-Economic Orientations in Foreign Language Learning Motivation: The Case of Yemen by Attamimi and Rahim, draws attention to the notion of cultural capital, parental economic status and motivation to learn English in a dual-survey study which is supported by interviews. The authors discuss a number of areas of motivation that incorporate cultural capital, student orientations, students’ feelings of or against ‘integrativeness’ with the target language community (or out-groups). Results are presented in the form of quantitative summaries and discussion. In An Analysis of L2 Motivation, Test Validity and Language Proficiency Identity (LPID): A Vygotskian Approach, Haggerty investigates learners’ attitudes, beliefs and motivations in relation to their experiences with high-stakes language assessments. The author’s account advocates the incorporation of Vygotsky’s notion of ‘language proficiency identity’ into research into the impact of assessment and learning experiences on various aspects of identity, values and motivation. The resulting 7 Asian EFL Journal. Volume 13, Issue 4 discussion raises questions about test validity and current assessment practices while at the same time reporting the impact that language tests appear to have on Korean learners in different stages of education. In the next article, Input Enhancement, Noticing, and Incidental Vocabulary, Petchko investigates input enhancement in reading classes by investigating the role of textually enhancing target words (non-words in this study) in noticing, meaning recognition and meaning recall. The author gives a considerable overview of the importance of this area of research for the language teaching community before discussing the implications of this study’s findings and recommending future research directions. Wang’s Shattering the hierarchical education system: The creation of a poststructural feminist English classroom draws our attention to a pedagogical approach designed to improve Taiwanese students’ English proficiency, critical thinking faculties and satisfaction through their learning experiences in English. The author’s poststructural feminist model is discussed and justified drawing on cultural aspects of classroom learning in the Taiwanese context and the results, gained through a variety of methods, appear to show that this approach has been implemented successfully to enhance students’ learning, thinking and experiences.

SERCOMBE Ethno-Linguistic Change among the Penan of Brunei Some Initial Observations* Introduction Negara Brunei Darussalam (henceforth Brunei) is a small multi-ethnic, multilingual country. The official language is Brunei Malay, and three other dialects of Malay are spoken as well as seven non-Malay isolects (Nothofer 1991:151); among this latter group Iban, Mukah and Penan are considered immigrant to Brunei. The Penan language spoken in Brunei is of the eastern variety1, used by those Penan who occur to the east of the Baram River in Sarawak and within the Kenyah subgroup (Blust 1972:13). Aim This paper aims to examine some non-Penan lexical and discourse features that have been noted in current language use in the Penan language of Brunei (henceforth Sukang Penan), and to compare these with a similar situation in Long Buang Penan in neighbouring Sarawak.2 The main concern here is to show the discrepancy between the position of discrete lexical items and the use of lexis in spontaneous discourse in Sukang. To my knowledge (and Langub's, personal communication) there presently exist no in-depth studies relating to the Penan language varieties of Borneo. To date there have been a number of wordlists published, most * I wish to thank Kelly Donovan for producing the maps and both Peter Martin and Rodney Needham for their valuable comments on earlier drafts of this article.

  • The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah Binti
    3-5 February 2014- Istanbul, Turkey Proceedings of INTCESS14- International Conference on Education and Social Sciences Proceedings 1053 The Vitality & Revitalisation of a Minority Language: The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah binti Hj. Awg. Chuchu (Dr.) & Najib Noorashid Universiti Brunei Darussalam; Brunei Darussalam [email protected]; [email protected]. Keywords: Language vitality, language revitalisation, language extinction, ethnic minority, Dusun, Brunei. Abstract. Language extinction or language death is a sociolinguistic phenomenon which concerns and is often discussed among linguists or members of speaker in general (Aitchison, 2001; Crystal, 2000; Dalby, 2003; Mufwene, 2004; Nelson, 2007; Fishman, 2002; 2007). Due to rapid globalisation, the effect of linguistic "superstratum-substratum" is inevitable (Crystal, 2003), in particular to those languages of ethnic minorities; those in Brunei Darussalam are not the exclusion (Martin, 1995; Noor Azam, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009; Clynes, 2012; Coluzzi, 2012). These minority languages are inclined to endangeredment due to urbanisation, education system, migrations and others, which lead to language shift and consequently, extinction. Brunei Darussalam is a multilingual country that has a diverse population and cultures which generate variations of language and dialect (Nothofer, 1991; Fatimah & Poedjosoedarmo, 1995; Azmi Abdullah, 2001; Jaludin Chuchu, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009). Recognised as one of the seven indigenous in Brunei under the Citizenship Status laws 1961 of the Constitution of Negari Brunei 1959, Dusun ethnic is alleged to have and practice its own code of dialect. All dialects and languages spoken by indigenous ethnics are regarded as minority languages, except for the dialect of Brunei Malay. By focusing on Dusun dialect, this paper discusses the current situation of its language use and perceptions among the native speakers.

It is surrounded on all other sides by the Malaysian State of Sarawak which divides Brunei into two unconnected parts: the eastern part of which is the rural Temburong district, and the western part which consists of Brunei Muara, Tutong and Belait districts. Brunei acquired full independence from the United Kingdom in 1984. Geographical names policy Recommended geographical names are those in Roman-script as found on official Brunei-produced sources, where possible. The National Committee of Geographical Names Jawatankuasa Kebangsaan Nama Geografi (JKNG), deals with the standardisation of place names in Brunei. Official maps are produced by the Brunei Survey Department. The Brunei Survey Department’s Geoportal6 can be used to access geospatial information (including geographical names) online. 1 It is called Bahasa Melayu ("Malay language") in Malay. Language codes given in this Factfile are ISO-639 codes. 2 The names Brunei and Brunei Darussalam are used interchangeably in Brunei. 3 No state title as such occurs in the Brunei Constitution of 1959, but the name Negara Brunei Darussalam (meaning Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace) was proclaimed as the official name of the state in June 1983.

Indigenous languages and English in the globalised modern era in Brunei Darussalam. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 27(2): 165– 178. https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2020.27.2.9 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2020.27.2.9 Abstract. This article considers two aspects of the linguistic situation in Brunei Darussalam in the globalised modern era: the situation with regard to minority indigenous languages: and the emergent status of Brunei English. Minority languages are threatened with extinction throughout the world and those in Brunei are no exception. There are seven officially recognised indigenous groups, each with its own language, though these are sometimes all claimed to be dialects of Malay—Brunei Malay, Kedayan, Dusun, Bisaya, Tutong, Belait and Murut—but all these languages apart from Brunei Malay are under threat, even though some efforts are currently being undertaken to preserve them. English is also widely spoken in Brunei and Brunei English has features that make it distinct from other Englishes in the world. Some of these features are shared by other regional varieties of English and others are unique to Brunei. The article therefore, analyses the status of the minority languages of Brunei, describes efforts to preserve them and also evaluates the developing status of Brunei English as it evolves under the influences of globalisation; and it finally reflects on problems with neat classification into distinct languages.
