摘要

作为以英语为母语的政治权力的驱动者和产物，英语教学固有的殖民性给英语教学教师和学习者提出了特殊的挑战，他们希望参与去殖民化议程。由于这些议程转化为英语教学实践的证据很少，我和我的本科商务英语学习者一起探索了去殖民主义的选择，反霸权的行动，采用了一种被称为探索性实践的实践者研究形式，并将调查集中在我们将商业新闻文章作为关键课程组成部分的使用上。我的学习者揭示了去殖民化选择的潜力，反思和探索的过程暴露了我们的语言意识形态，少数学生反对任何结束既定的只讲英语政策的做法。本文为在类似环境中工作的英语教师提供了一些建议，这些教师有兴趣通过非殖民化的视角探索自己对真实材料的使用。

Decolonizing business English: exploring classroom ideologies

The inherent coloniality of ELT, as both driver and product of Anglophone political power, poses particular challenges for ELT teachers and learners looking to engage with decolonizing agendas. With only scant evidence of these agendas translating into ELT practice, I explored decolonial options, counter-hegemonic actions, with my undergraduate business English learners, adopting a form of practitioner research known as exploratory practice, and centring enquiry on our use of business news articles for a key course component. My learners revealed the potential of decolonial options, and the reflective, exploratory process exposed our language ideologies, with a vocal minority of students resisting any end to the established English-only policy. Suggestions are offered for fellow ELT teachers working in similar settings and who are interested in exploring their own use of authentic materials through a decolonizing lens.
