Profile

日本人が非母語話者として英語を学習したり、英語を指導したり、英語を使ったりすることについて批判的応用言語学の視点から研究しています。特に、英語圏以外の国で専門教育を英語で受けること(English Medium Instruction: EMI)、Translanguagingなどの複数言語リソースの活用、非母語話者英語教員のエンパワメントに興味があります。また、人と言語の関係だけではなく、人の言語活動へのさまざまな外的要因の関係性にも関心があり、ポスト人文主義(Posthumanism)や新唯物論(Newmaterialism)の視点を利用した研究のあり方を追求しています。

    Abstract

    With the growth of internationalization in higher education, there is a need to examine students’ experiences in increasingly diverse classrooms. This study explores students’ academic discourse socialization (ADS), within a context where the majority of students are non‐native speakers, in a course designed to enhance intercultural communication skills by providing students with both theoretical knowledge and practical experiences to collaborate with a diverse group of peers. We aim to answer the following questions: (1) Does native‐speakerism ideology impact Japanese students’ comprehension of intercultural communication with non‐native speakers, and if so, how? (2) How does the understanding of intercultural communication affect students’ interactions and group work with international peers? We conducted qualitative semistructured interviews with Japanese and international students at a private Japanese university. Our findings show that despite the absence of specific language instruction in the course, the group work predominantly utilized English and Japanese. Furthermore, the results revealed a unique ADS process in this context, with no clear dichotomy between experts and novices. Instead, all students negotiated their participation and language use within the academic community, with native‐speakerism ideology influencing the ADS process. These results enrich the research on ADS in non‐English‐speaking countries and development of new conceptual frameworks to better comprehend its dynamics.
