摘要
许多研究对英语教学的各个方面进行了分析,以揭示该领域中的歧视性就业做法。然而,关于学校管理的教师招聘网站(TRWs)中存在的论述,尤其是在私立在线语言教育(POLE)领域中存在的论述的研究尚属空白。本研究旨在通过调查首选在线英语教师是如何被描述的,以及他们在访问这些网页时会得到哪些好处来弥补这一空白。作者采用批判性话语分析方法,分析了在亚洲六个主要市场运营的 32 所在线英语学校的 TRW 的文本要素。研究结果表明,尽管少数学校显示出相对公平的政策迹象,并强调专业资格,但大多数学校似乎通过其申请要求和补偿政策利用母语主义,这些要求和政策往往只有利于某些群体。本研究的意义强调了通过利用来自不同背景的教师的资历和经验来创造公平的就业机会和使 POLE 专业化的好处,同时确保公平的报酬。最后,本研究为现在和未来的在线教师提供了实用的策略,帮助他们利用数字语言工作的机会,同时为实现该行业的公平做出贡献。
Privilege and prejudice in private online English teaching: Discourses in school-owned recruitment websites
Numerous studies have analyzed various aspects of English language teaching to uncover discriminatory employment practices within the field. However, there is a gap in the research regarding the discourses present in school-managed teacher recruitment websites (TRWs), particularly in the field of private online language education (POLE). This study aims to address this gap by investigating how the preferred online English teacher is characterized and what benefits they are promised when visiting these webpages. Using critical discourse analysis, the author analyzed the textual elements of 32 TRWs of online English schools operating in six major markets in Asia. The findings reveal that although a few schools show signs of relatively fair policies and emphasize professional qualifications, most of them appear to exploit native-speakerism through their application requirements and compensation policies that often favor only some groups. The implications emphasize the benefits of creating equitable employment opportunities and professionalizing POLE by leveraging the qualifications and experience of teachers from diverse backgrounds, while ensuring fair compensation. Finally, this study provides practical strategies for present and prospective online teachers on how to take advantage of the opportunities of digital language work while contributing to the attainment of equity in the industry.
