Abstract

There is a dearth of research on English textbook analysis with respect to World Englishes in Punjab, Pakistan. The current study aimed to identify the nouns used in English textbooks at primary level with a major focus on Pakistani English (PakE). The data for this qualitative research was collected from English Textbook of Grade 5, published by PCTB (Punjab Curriculum Textbook Board). The current study employed Kachru’s three concentric circle model comprising of inner, outer, and expanding circles to analyse the data. The findings depicted that most of the vocabulary used in this textbook was derived from South Asian Englishes (SAmE) and common Standard British English (SBrE), which are norm-providing countries. The authors obtained lexemes from these standardised varieties of English. However, the presence of PakE variety equals the use of SAmE which apparently shows that Pakistanis are creating their own vocabulary which they are unaware of. The current study would help the authors of English textbooks and policy-makers to determine which variety of English they should focus on, with the aim of using it consistently.
公立小学英语教材中的世界英语
对巴基斯坦旁遮普地区的世界英语进行的英语教材分析研究较少。本研究旨在识别小学英语教科书中使用的名词,并以巴基斯坦英语为主要研究对象。本定性研究的数据来自旁遮普省课程教科书委员会出版的《五年级英语教材》。本研究采用Kachru的内圆、外圆和外延圆三同心圆模型对数据进行分析。调查结果表明,这本教科书中使用的大部分词汇来自南亚英语(SAmE)和英国标准英语(SBrE),这两个国家都是标准的提供国。作者从这些标准化的英语变体中获得词汇。然而,pakake变体的存在等于SAmE的使用,这显然表明巴基斯坦人正在创造自己的词汇,而他们却没有意识到。目前的研究将帮助英语教科书的作者和政策制定者确定他们应该关注哪些英语种类,以保持使用的一致性。
