초록
This paper examines the intersection of language ideologies and identity that are projected by and ascribed to Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) in Korea. Language ideologies, as defined as the interpretative filters of beliefs about or views on the language and its use (Schieffelin, Woolard & Kroskrity, 1998), are (re)constructed based on social contexts. It is in terms of these language ideologies that perspectives on the use of the language and its speakers are rationalized, legitimatized and then naturalized, influencing policies and practices on English education. Using a qualitative method, this case study documents the English language ideologies of two Korean American NESTs. They agree with a dominant discourse of English in the Korean context that communicative competency in general and speaking (or conversational) competency in particular are a necessity in contemporary English education. However, this paper finds that they demonstrate their own contradictive English ideologies about, for example, English pronunciation and indexicality of native speakers of English. This paper confirms that Korean American NESTs constantly negotiate and (re)construct English ideologies based on their social experiences.
Abstract
This paper examines the intersection of language ideologies and identity that are projected by and ascribed to Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) in Korea. Language ideologies, as defined as the interpretative filters of beliefs about or views on the language and its use (Schieffelin, Woolard & Kroskrity, 1998), are (re)constructed based on social contexts. It is in terms of these language ideologies that perspectives on the use of the language and its speakers are rationalized, legitimatized and then naturalized, influencing policies and practices on English education. Using a qualitative method, this case study documents the English language ideologies of two Korean American NESTs. They agree with a dominant discourse of English in the Korean context that communicative competency in general and speaking (or conversational) competency in particular are a necessity in contemporary English education. However, this paper finds that they demonstrate their own contradictive English ideologies about, for example, English pronunciation and indexicality of native speakers of English. This paper confirms that Korean American NESTs constantly negotiate and (re)construct English ideologies based on their social experiences.
