Dissertation JIAN 2016 Final
The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang. -
A Theoretical Outline of the Importance of Cross-Cultural and Pragmatic Awareness in the Business Scenario Victor Marques Soprana1
ISSN 2178-3640 Porto Alegre, January-June 2017, v. 8, n. 1, p. 102-121 http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/2178-3640.2017.1.27462 ORIGINAL ARTICLE A theoretical outline of the importance of cross-cultural and pragmatic awareness in the business scenario Victor Marques Soprana1 1 Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS). ABSTRACT English has become crucial for professional success within the globalized world, and indispensable for communicating with people from other countries. It has become a Lingua Franca and, therefore, has been used to speak among people with different mother tongues who share English as a second language. In light of this multicultural process, this paper aims to provide the reader with a theoretical outline about the relevance of cross-cultural and pragmatic knowledge. Such aspects need to be specially considered when developing an English course for business students as there has been a growing need for professionals to be competent users of English within the business context. Due to this specific context, we have favored an approach – English for Specific Purposes – that targets specific aspects of the language. Our focal point is to validate the need of raising both pragmatic and cross-cultural awareness when teaching business professionals as they will probably have communicative scenarios where such capabilities would be remarkably advantageous. Keywords: pragmatics; cross-cultural awareness; English for specific purposes; business English. Um esboço teórico sobre a importância da consciência cross-cultural e pragmática em contextos de negócios RESUMO Saber inglês se tornou crucial para profissionais de sucesso no mundo globalizado, e indispensável para comunicação com pessoas de diferentes países. -

Communication Apprehension: a Comparison Between English Majors and Non-Majors in China
International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 6; November 2015 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Communication Apprehension: A Comparison between English Majors and Non-majors in China Peng Shi-Yong (Corresponding author) College of Arts and Sciences, Abu Dhabi University Abu Dhabi, P.O. Box 59911, U.A.E E-mail: [email protected] Muhamad Sham Bin S. Ali College of Arts and Sciences, Abu Dhabi University Abu Dhabi, P.O. Box 59911, U.A.E E-mail: [email protected] Received: 20-04- 2015 Accepted: 25-07- 2015 Advance Access Published: August 2015 Published: 01-11- 2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.6p.190 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.6p.190 Abstract Using the scale of communication apprehension developed by McCroskey, a comparative study has been conducted between English majors and non-majors of different English learning experiences in a Chinese university. Whereas all the subjects remain at the medium level of communication apprehension, no significant difference was found across different communication scenarios among students of different majors as well as different grades. The results imply that the cause of communication apprehension might not be necessarily associated with differences in learning experience, syllabi or even teaching approaches. The characteristics of the high-contextual Chinese culture may be interpretable to this non-difference result. Thus, we may hypothesize with confidence that psychological approaches may be more effective to reduce the phenomenon of mute English of Chinese learners and their reticence in English class. -
On the Application of Communicative Approach in English Teaching
2017 International Conference on Arts and Design, Education and Social Sciences (ADESS 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-511-7 On the Application of Communicative Approach in English Teaching XIAOLI MAO ABSTRACT Under the premise of continuous education innovation and reform, it is a matter of great urgency to actively cultivate students' interest in English. Blindly urging students to study by rote cannot improve the efficiency of learning, and to cultivate students' love and interest in English is long-term strategy for the development of English education in China. Based on this, this paper focuses on the research on the application of communicative approach in English teaching, with a view to the improvement of English teaching efficiency in China. KEYWORDS English teaching; communicative approach; learning efficiency; application strategy INTRODUCTION With the development of the present era, China gradually integrates with the world and its domestic talent output and inflow has gradually become white-hot. Today is an era of education without borders. Faced with such educational integration, increasingly high requirements are applied on the mastery and application of students' second language, and therefore, taking English, the world's common language, as a compulsory course of students has become a leavening education form in China. English is more and more widely used in China as a general purpose language in the world. With the entry of China into the World Trade Organization in 2001, English has become a discipline that cannot be neglected in all kinds of colleges and universities. However, the English education in China is also facing some problems at present. -
Online Learning-Based English Language Teaching Strategy Training
2019 5th International Workshop on Education, Development and Social Sciences (IWEDSS 2019) Online Learning-based English Language Teaching Strategy Training Han Baomin English Research Office, Foreign Languages School, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian, China Keywords: Online learning, English language teaching, Strategy training Abstract: English teaching language is a tool for teachers to implement teaching and is also an important source of student language input. The quantity and quality of teachers' teaching language will influence and even determine the success or failure of classroom teaching. Foreign language teaching differs from other classrooms: it uses both language as a teaching method and teaching content. The rapid development of information technology, especially the widespread use of mobile Internet, smart terminals and new media technologies, has made more choices in college English teaching reform. The research shows that the mixed teaching of online live class in college English can effectively realize the combination of real-time online live class. 1. Introduction English teaching language is a tool for teachers to implement teaching. It is very important for classroom teaching organization and students' language acquisition. This is not only because the content of the teaching can be achieved only through the perfect organization and teaching of the teacher language to achieve the desired teaching effect. And because it also serves as a demonstration of the target language. It is another important source of students' language input and a channel of communication with students. The teaching language is the language used by teachers in imparting knowledge, teaching, and educating people in classroom teaching activities. The language of instruction of English teachers is different from that of teachers. -
