The de facto national code of Malaysia, with all its creativity & complexity is exhibited as aversive to Standard English. This study explored the position of the colloquial variety as a creole by accentuating its significance in the global context on the grounds of socio-cultural and socio-economic history, further encouraging the glocalization of the English language. A mixed qualitative-quantitative method was adopted for this research and data was obtained by investigating Malaysian private university undergraduates’ attitude towards Manglish by means of online survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that a large majority of young Malaysians are positive towards Manglish, signalling survival through the test of time, yet it demands due recognition as a creole due to its heritage value.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1926646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43665993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central objective of this article is to analyse and correlate the superficially scattered factors which play a significant role in determining the culture of learning for English as a second language in India. The article examines the status of English among Indian languages and the pertinent reasons which make English the most sought-after medium of instruction in the entire nation. Another factor evaluated is the changing identity of English in India. Further, this article examines the impact of status and identity of English on the English language teachers and the pedagogical activities happening inside classrooms.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1925811","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48908042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are not many studies revealing this ongoing situation. By examining netizens’ asynchronous communication, the article reveals a holistic picture of the integration of ‘English words’ and draws on previous literature to infer the possible reasons behind it. These findings show that the most common English words that are borrowed are content words. Meanwhile, these words are semantically and syntactically integrated into Chinese, demonstrating that English words are creatively localized. Moreover, this study inspires future studies to examine the concluded findings in a broader context and within a longer period.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1925812","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49500764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little attention has been paid to English teachers’ perceptions of ELF-informed teaching during the pre-service stage of their careers. To narrow the gap, the present study aims to investigate English student-teachers’ perceptions of ELF and its teaching in a national key Chinese normal university through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Results indicated that the participants held an insufficient understanding of ELF, and lacked support in their teacher education programmes regarding how to implement ELF-informed teaching practices. Additionally, the study revealed some contextual challenges encountered by the participants in relation to ELF-informed teaching. The study concludes with suggestions about promoting student English teachers’ ELF awareness and developing ELF-informed pedagogies in China.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":"24 1","pages":"247 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1926647","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46096275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How effective are such interventions in changing student-teachers’ language beliefs and practices?

In the Meiji era (1870s), lively discussions took place regarding making English the national language of Japan and providing education through English-medium instruction (EMI). Ultimately, Japan avoided both making English the national language and Englishization of higher education. However, since the Japanese government launched the Top Global University Project in 2014, which aims to promote the globalization of public and private universities and recruit foreign students from across the globe, Englishization has been accelerating. Upper-tier universities designated as Top Global Universities are particularly enthusiastic about increasing the scope of EMI across disciplines. To this end, more and more foreign instructors have been hired, and these seem to be replacing Japanese faculty in those universities. This educational setting is reminiscent of that prevailing during the early Meiji era. To reconsider the current situation in Japan’s higher education, the article discusses the Nordic language policy that was set forth to address the threat of the dominance of English. It suggests the limited use of English in Japan’s higher education and ends with a review of the literature on the fetishism of English.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":"24 1","pages":"102 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1902676","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42698041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, this study examines how the use of languages is enacted (language management), perceived (language beliefs), and implemented (language practices) at three layers/levels involving 30 university administrators, 96 content lecturers, and 286 students (N=412). Research data were drawn from multiple sources, including policy documents, questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. An overarching ideology of English only as the medium of instruction was manifest in the data at all levels. However, the findings revealed a stark misalignment between the language management policies explicitly articulated at the national and institutional levels and actual language practices taking place at the interpersonal/classroom level. These findings suggest that ideology/beliefs are not the sole determinant of language practices and that the latter can sometimes be driven by contextual factors. The paper discusses the findings’ implications for EMI policies and practices and offers suggestions for future EMI-related research.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2021.1891513","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42038755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It unpacks a novel terminology called the ‘half-native English-speaking teacher’ (HNEST) that appears on the website of an online English school for Japanese students. The article also examines the privilege–marginalization experiences of three HNESTs. The analysis of the website shows that the multimodal representations tacitly generate a ‘new’ hierarchy of English teachers, with presupposed NEST, HNEST and NNEST categories arranged from top to bottom. While this hierarchy appears ‘new’ on the surface, it reinforces old and restricting discourses of idealization and essentialization. The analysis of the participants’ interviews, meanwhile, suggests that privilege–marginalization is not uniformly and categorically experienced. This complex fluidity of privilege–marginalization is dynamically interwoven in broader discourses of neoliberalism, race and gender.","PeriodicalId":44117,"journal":{"name":"Asian Englishes","volume":"24 1","pages":"32 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13488678.2020.1870787","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44066053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, legal practitioners also need Malay as it is a requirement for admission to the bar and used extensively in government dealings, as well as in the lower courts of West Malaysia.
