ABSTRACT

The link between globalization and the spread of English is well established in the literature, resulting in the emergence and burgeoning of studies on the pluralization and localization of English. However, Englishes are also valued unequally and, thus, impact the lives and identities of their speakers differently as well. This paper aims to discuss the politics of Unequal Englishes by mapping out the specific ways inequalities of Englishes are realized in classrooms in Singapore. This requires mapping out accurately both the dynamics of locally produced but globally shaped teaching of English, as well as concrete instantiations of culturally responsive pedagogies which aim to make learning and teaching more nondiscriminatory and equitable.

摘要

全球化与英语传播之间的联系在文献中得到了很好的确立，导致了英语多元化和本地化研究的出现和蓬勃发展。然而，英语的人也受到不平等的重视，因此，对说英语的人的生活和身份也有不同的影响。本文旨在通过描绘在新加坡课堂上实现英语不平等的具体方式来讨论不平等英语的政治。这需要准确地绘制出本地生产但在全球范围内形成的英语教学的动态，以及旨在使学习和教学更加非歧视和公平的文化响应式教学法的具体实例。
