Abstract

This article examines Teochew-speaking learners of English as an example of linguistic minority students’ use of and attitudes toward everyday translanguaging practices. By conducting a series of semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study specifically examines students’ translanguaging process with their mother tongue – Teochew (L1), as well as Putonghua (L2), and other languages/dialects in various contexts, such as family, school, and the wider community. The findings indicate the various translanguaging practices but also reveal a decline and marginalization in Teochew across different generations. This paper argues for the need to preserve Teochew and other heritage languages and home dialects for inclusiveness of language practice. Moreover, translanguaging practices should also be viewed as key in readdressing issues such as power and identity in daily language use, and their importance must be recognized for educational purposes.
探索语言少数民族学生对日常翻译实践的复杂性和态度
本文以讲潮州语的英语学习者为例,考察了语言少数民族学生对日常翻译实践的使用和态度。本质性研究透过一系列半结构化访谈,特别探讨学生在家庭、学校及社会等不同环境下,以母语潮州语、普通话及其他语言/方言进行跨语言转换的过程。这些发现不仅表明了多种跨代的跨语言实践,也揭示了潮州语的衰落和边缘化。本文认为,为了语言实践的包容性,有必要保护潮州和其他遗产语言和家庭方言。此外,译语实践也应被视为解决日常语言使用中的权力和身份等问题的关键,必须认识到它们在教育目的中的重要性。
