PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Esta pesquisa aborda os problemas enfrentados pela Humanidade para se comunicar de maneira eficiente, tarefa dificultada pelo número de línguas existentes no mundo - cerca de 6.500 - e a busca de soluções para resolver essa questão. Ela aponta a tendência mais forte no momento, que é a de se usar o inglês como língua global, uma vez que ele representa poder econômico e força política incontestáveis, destacando que essa aceitação não deve, porém, implicar desprestígio ou até mesmo desaparecimento de outras línguas.

The language situation of today's world is drastically different from that which existed in the past.

This thesis explores how English is perceived in Taiwan and what impact it has on society and culture by drawing on three kinds of data: (i) analysis of policy and documents, (ii) critical discourse analysis of textual data, and (iii) interviews with respondents from different levels of the education system. It aims to provide an indepth study of the role and cultural politics of English in Taiwan.

Abstract:

After the decline of Latin, philosophers and linguists started developing the idea of creating a new universal language for international communication. Many languages were developed, some of them were designed to be exclusively written, some others were created a priori, meaning that they tried not to draw upon already existing languages, and others a posteriori. These languages were either combinations of already existing word roots and language systems (e.g. Esperanto) or simplifications of languages. One example of the latter is Basic English, created by linguists Charles K. Ogden and Arms

Abstract:

As the English language spreads around the globe and is used for various purposes in different social and cultural contexts, scholars and local practitioners have called for deconstructing the ideology of native-speakerism (Holliday, 2006, 2015) and reconstructing the local subjectivity of English language education (e.g., Canagarajah, 2005; Kumaravadivelu, 2016). In this transformation process of English language education, language teacher identity has played a central role because how teachers see themselves as English speakers, writers, and teachers is closely linked to what and how they t

Learners from many corners of the earth are acquiring English as a Foreign Language (EFL), lending importance to issues of language learning and its effects on global and local identities being forged in the process. As English language users, they are recipients and producers of multiple discourses around the global status of English as a foreign language, from English as linguistic, material, and symbolic capital (Bourdieu, 1991) to language as commodity (Heller, 1999). Such discourses are accompanied by representations of language and culture, or imagined communities (Anderson, 1983, Norton

This rapid spread of English has caused concern among members of the general public, some political figures, and the media. Much of the concern with the spread of English is that the language is taking away from young people’s attachment to and fluency in Arabic. In addition, there is a major concern that an

Abstract:

Orientador(a): Ana Cristina Biondo Salomão<br>Resumo: O ensino de inglês enfrenta alguns questionamentos sobre qual é a "melhor" variedade para ser ensinada. Algumas dúvidas sobre escolher o inglês americano ou britânico são comuns entre professores (enquanto outras variedades raramente são mencionadas como uma escolha possível para a sala de aula). Entretanto, é necessário encorajar os alunos a ter um comportamento mimético com relação ao seu aprendizado, almejando apenas ter a pronúncia parecida com a de um falante nativo? Essas questões são relevantes se considerarmos que a maioria das inte

Abstract:

There is increasing interest on the part of ESL educators in the inclusion of contemporary, global issues in their classrooms. Theory about content-based ESL, as well as trends in education, generally, lend support to such enthusiasm. However, ESL educators may be erroneously assuming that their interest in this material is shared by their students. Global issues can also be controversial. Their inclusion in the classroom has the potential to create an uncomfortable, and therefore ineffective, learning atmosphere in a multicultural ESL setting. This qualitative case study examined the use of g

Abstract:

Along with globalization, English as a lingua franca (ELF) has played a more and more important role in international settings. Among English users, the number of English nonnative speakers (NNS) has reached more than 2 billion which has already overtaken the number of English native speakers (NS). However, the fact of using ELF has not been fully recognized, especially in China where there is a huge population of English users and learners who still take English as a foreign language (EFL). Since junior high school education in China affects the largest population of English learners and user

Abstract:

Paul Celan's translations of Emily Dickinson's poems Because I could not stop for Death and Let down the Bars, Oh Death illuminate the global metaphor inherent in both poems' exploration of death. Celan's The Meridian speech, coupled with Dickinson's poems I saw no way and Tell all the truth, suggest that language can move in different directions across a globe at the same time. When these different lines meet, they reach a meridian of the spiritual and the material. As Celan translates Dickinson's two poems, he uses this global metaphor to place more emphasis on death and to further illuminat

Abstract:

The purpose with this essay is to research the correlation between students’ motivation in activities and their English language learning. Since there are growing demands on young learners in Sweden to learn languages and a growing need from the global society of a shared means of communication, there is also a need to revaluate the ESL classroom activities. This essay is written as an argumentative text with support of recent studies and concludes with some suggestions for classroom activities for the ESL classroom, with the goal to create a more authentic learning environment for the student

Abstract:

<p>English is the most expansionist language in the world today. Currently, native speakers are outnumbered by non-native speakers by a ratio of 3:1, a ratio that is set to grow to 10:1 within the next ten years. One of the consequences of a language growing so rapidly is that its new users tend to ignore already accepted standards. In what linguists refer to as the outer and expanding circles of English-speakers (mainly in Africa and Asia) new varieties and standards of English are now being invented.</p><p>In this study, the effects of the current expansion of English on the teaching of Engl
