This paper investigates Bakhtin’s view on a language and provides implications for ESL students’ English writing in the era of globalization. Bakhtin’s primary concern on a language is the ‘word’ which he places in a dialogic condition. In his terms, the word is organic and contextual in its nature and is not a fixed entity. Consequently, he situates utterances in a culturally and historically specific environment. Bakhtin also makes a distinction between authoritative discourse and internally persuasive discourse. Within the realm of the authoritative discourse, which is the words of father, no dialogic relationship is possible, and the participants only succumbs to its authority. On the other hand, the internally persuasive discourse has become a place where words from different people clashes each other and contacts to other discourses are freely made. Individuals who are in the area of internally persuasive discourse are apt to create new words through the interactions with new materials and contexts. Bakhtin’s socio-culturally specific view on a language helps us to understand ESL student’s peculiar epistemological dimension. Also his distinction of two discourses provides an effective way to approach ESL students whose positions are situated in a politically and also ideologically complex plane.
Abstract
This paper investigates Bakhtin’s view on a language and provides implications for ESL students’ English writing in the era of globalization.
