摘要

语言学霸权、语言学帝国主义和语言殖民主义是应用语言学研究中尚未引起足够重视的严重问题。在非英语国家,英语作为教学媒介(EMI)是一种语言学帝国主义(Phillipson,2018)。EMI政策在几个方面导致了不利的结果,如学习成绩低、学生身份受到挑战、获得教育资源的机会有限、不公正的待遇以及本科生项目中的不公平评估。本研究采用问卷调查和访谈的方式调查了学生和学术专家的观点。对数据进行了定性和定量分析。这项研究的结果表明了教育正义的缺乏,以及语言霸权与意识殖民化之间的强烈联系。研究结果表明,EMI项目的参与者没有进行真实、严谨和有趣的学习。使用EMI的决定要么基于关于语言性质的谬论,要么基于对教育优先事项的模糊评估,要么两者兼而有之。我们强烈鼓励应用语言学家、语言政策制定者和大学管理者在挑战英语霸权和英语霸权方面发挥重要作用,以促进全球EMI本科生项目的教育公平、平等学习机会和公平待遇,特别是在非英语国家。

Linguistic Hegemony and English in Higher Education
Summary Linguistics hegemony, linguistics imperialism, and linguistic colonialism are serious issues that have not gained enough attention in applied linguistics research. English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in non-anglophone countries is a type of linguistics imperialism (Phillipson, 2018). EMI policy has led to adverse outcomes in several aspects such as low achievement of learning outcomes, challenges to students’ identity, limited access to educational resources, unjust treatments, and unfair assessment in undergraduate programs. This research study investigates the views of students and academic experts using questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings of this study demonstrate the lack of educational justice and the strong connection between linguistic hegemony and the colonization of consciousness. The findings show that participants in EMI programs do not engage in authentic, rigorous, and fun learning. Decisions to use EMI are either based on fallacies regarding the nature of language, on fuzzy assessment of educational priorities, or both. We strongly encourage applied linguists, language policymakers, and university administrators to play significant roles in challenging English hegemony and English supremacy to promote educational justice, equal opportunities to learn, and fair treatment in EMI undergraduate programs around the globe, especially in non-anglophone countries.
