Abstract

This cross-sectional study attempts to investigate the impacts of linguistic landscape (LL) tasks on EFL teacher candidates’ understanding of English in local and global contexts. To this end, three cohorts of student teachers carried out LL fieldwork, uploaded images of English signage to an LL application, Lingscape, and submitted a mini research paper on the use of Englishes. They also wrote a reflective journal featuring a discussion of their experiences. Qualitative content analysis was utilized to interpret the data for the purpose of illustrating major themes emerging from the data. The findings highlighted a heightened awareness among student teachers towards locating and reflecting on Englishes in everyday contexts, an improved understanding of English as a lingua franca and Global Englishes, and their intentions to adopt Global-Englishes-oriented language teaching practices in the future. The study concludes by discussing the implications of this approach, and calls for a wider inclusion of LL-centred tasks in EFL teacher education curricula.
全球英语教师教育中的语言景观任务
这项横断面研究试图调查语言景观任务对英语教师候选人在当地和全球背景下理解英语的影响。为此,三组学生教师进行了LL实地调查,将英语标牌的图像上传到LL应用程序Lingscape,并提交了一篇关于英语使用的小型研究论文。他们还写了一本反思性的日记,讨论他们的经历。定性内容分析用于解释数据,目的是说明数据中出现的主要主题。研究结果强调,学生教师对在日常环境中定位和反思英语的认识有所提高,对英语作为通用语和全球英语的理解有所提高,他们打算在未来采用以全球英语为导向的语言教学实践。该研究最后讨论了这种方法的含义,并呼吁在EFL教师教育课程中更广泛地纳入以LL为中心的任务。
