Abstract

ABSTRACT Israel, a multilingual and multicultural society, has an indigenous Arab minority distinguished from the Jewish majority by national, religious, cultural, and linguistic characteristics. Jews and Arabs live mostly in different geographical locales and education systems are also split. In recent years, the number of Arab students attending Jewish schools has increased significantly. Using mixed methods, we examined the question of how, and to what extent, does the integration of Arab adolescents in Jewish schools affect their identity construction, their attitudes toward Hebrew and Arabic, and the maintenance of other cultural and religious characteristics. We explored this from both the parents’ and the students’ perspectives. Findings pointed to the complexity of this experience, including its psychological advantages, the social-emotional challenges involved, and the significant role of teachers. By shedding light on these processes, this study may help to reformulate policy to decrease conflict levels between the groups, and promote intergroup solidarity.
融入“他者”空间的社会语言学方面:以犹太学校的阿拉伯学生为例
摘要以色列是一个多语言、多文化的社会,在民族、宗教、文化和语言特征方面,阿拉伯土著少数民族与犹太多数民族不同。犹太人和阿拉伯人大多生活在不同的地理位置,教育系统也存在分歧。近年来,在犹太学校就读的阿拉伯学生人数显著增加。使用混合方法,我们研究了阿拉伯青少年在犹太学校的融合如何以及在多大程度上影响他们的身份建构、他们对希伯来语和阿拉伯语的态度以及其他文化和宗教特征的维持的问题。我们从家长和学生的角度对此进行了探讨。研究结果指出了这种经历的复杂性,包括其心理优势、所涉及的社会情感挑战以及教师的重要作用。通过阐明这些过程,本研究可能有助于重新制定政策,以降低群体之间的冲突水平,并促进群体间的团结。

期刊介绍: Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives. The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.
