SIGNED: Lauren Zentz 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I’ve thought about the day I would get to write this page, about who I’d have the privilege of thanking, for three years. The list always changes, lengthens, expands, with each new person I meet and fall in love with. And as it lengthens, my worry that I will leave someone out increases proportionately. This introductory paragraph thus serves as a disclaimer, a pre-emptive apologia, to the million more people for whom I hold a space of deep gratitude in my heart. Thank you Frances L. Sinanu for, upon my playfully hinting at coming back to the English Department to teach, making it happen faster than I could even blink. Thank you Hendro Husada, Victoria Usadya Palupi, and Wemmy Prayogo for sealing the deal and officially enabling my presence as a teacher-researcher in the English Department. Thank you so much, Dyah and Iwan, for opening up your home to me for a solid 10 months of my and your lives, for feeding me, entertaining my endless questions and giving me endless answers, taking care of me in sickness and in health, for being my family, and for your endless generosity. Thank you Ari, Rudi, and Neny, for your conversation, senses of humor, help with teaching ideas, and continuing friendships. Thank you Sarita and Dian for many joyous lunches, dinners, coffee breaks, basketball games, runs, thoughts, jokes, laughs, and more! Thank you Danielle, Brandon, Duncan, Alison, Evie and Ellie for engaging with me in processing how to be outsiders in Central Java, and for sharing your senses of humor and Western palates with me. Thank you Janti, Ayu, Dita, Tika, and Ibu Hendah for opening your homes, your hearts, your interests, and your family spaces to me! Makan durian yuk! To Shri Ramakrishnan, a very special thank you for the many times you have helped me, in whatever parts of the world we’ve been in. You have meant so very much to me in my own personal growth. I hope I can repay the favor someday. Joaquin Munoz, Adam Schwartz, Janelle Johnson: at different places, times, and spaces I have shared deep friendships with you and received many teachings from you within and outside of our shared academic interests. Thank you. Dr. Brendan O’Connor, thank you for: your friendship. breakfasts. dinners. good wine. GREAT cooking. PHENOMENAL collaborations, with more to come. BIG laughs. Jenn O’Connor, thank you for: your friendship. putting up with shop talk when B and I couldn’t hold it in anymore. venting sessions on gChat. one of the best birthday cakes EVER. an even better matching karaoke outfit. and washing way too many dishes in my home. Thank you to both of you for your continuing friendship, both individually and as a beautiful couple. I look forward to sharing our journeys’ next steps through different spaces and places. To my mother, for keeping your verbalizations about my continuing trips external to this country’s borders limited within reason. Thank you for your support, for traveling half-way around the world to see me, and for believing in me in all of my this-lifetime incarnations to date. To my Tucson sisters: Michelle Holly Marks, Maggie Kipling, Joanna Frueh, Elizabeth Anable. What a heart-opening journey this has been. I love you all forever and for always. To Maggie: Many a wine night with you may very well have saved my life 5 in this past year. To Michelle: To sisterhood, sister. No words can describe. You have kept me running when my fuel tank was empty, you have watched after me when I filled it too full, and you have been a supportive space for and source of divine heart opening, courage, strength, innate wisdom, and emotional GENIUS! To the individuals known in this dissertation as Angelo, Ayu, Satriya, Dewi, Dian, Nisa, Novita, Lidya: I hope that this dissertation does justice to the conversations and experiences that you allowed me to share with you. It is a most delightful pleasure to know you all and I look forward to continuing to share friendships with you and to learn about your successes in life. To Perry Gilmore: A few months ago at lunch I was describing to a friend of mine—a scholar emerita herself—just a few of the actions you have taken in order to support me throughout my doctoral studies. She stopped me mid-conversation and said, “Wow. Are all the advisors in your department like that? Because she certainly does care about you.” You have truly looked out for me. You’ve believed in my own abilities sometimes even more than I wanted to you to. And I thank you. For all of it. This dissertation is but a draft of what is yet to come. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES...............................................................................................................9 LIST OF FIGURES ...........................................................................................................10 ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................11 CHAPTER 1: LANGUAGE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY GLOBALIZATION....13 1.1: Globalization and the state .................................................................................18 1.2: Nationalization of language and identity...........................................................21 1.2.1: Language in time and space............................................................................21 1.3: Language policy in Indonesia .............................................................................24 1.3.1: The creation of languages in nationalization..................................................25 1.3.2: Language development....................................................................................26 1.4: English in Indonesia ............................................................................................30 1.4.1: English language learning in globalization ....................................................31 1.4.2: Motivation in language learning.....................................................................32 1.4.3: Expanding communicative repertoires in language learning .........................34 1.5: Indexicality, performativity, and access to commodified linguistic resources..............................................................................................37 1.6: Local context and researcher positionality .......................................................40 1.6.1: Life in Betultujuh.............................................................................................42 1.6.2: Life at CJCU and in the ED ............................................................................47 1.7: Research questions ..............................................................................................51 1.7.1: Data collection ................................................................................................51
