ABSTRACT

Despite solid work on the structural, sociolinguistic and political legitimacy of the Englishes of the world, the fact remains that some Englishes are more privileged than others. Thus, the circulation of different Englishes in the classroom demands a call to dismantle the symbolic and material infrastructures of unequal Englishes. This paper explores the complex dynamics of fostering translingual dispositions against unequal Englishes in English language classrooms. It argues that dispositions which embrace the plurality of English must also include the imperative to act on and work against ideologies and practices which unequally value and stratify different Englishes in the classroom. Fostering translingual dispositions does not always result in unmasking or overturning ideologies, practices and structures of unequal Englishes, but it surfaces conflicted conditions and ideologies which may progressively lead to addressing linguistic inequalities in the classroom, making learning of English more just and compensatory.

摘要

尽管在世界英语的结构、社会语言学和政治合法性方面做了大量工作，但事实仍然是一些英语人比其他人享有更多特权。因此，不同英语在课堂上的流通需要拆除不平等英语的象征性和物质基础设施。本文探讨了在英语课堂中培养针对不平等英语的跨语言倾向的复杂动态。它认为，包含英语多元化的性格还必须包括采取行动和反对意识形态和实践的必要性，这些意识形态和实践在课堂上对不同英语的价值和分层不平等。培养跨语言倾向并不总是导致揭露或推翻不平等英语的意识形态、实践和结构，
