Markets of multilingual work
Multilingualism is increasingly seen as a skill, yet little is known about the actual trade of financial remuneration for language in jobs requiring language skills. This article examines the market value of community translation and interpreting, a multilingual service provided to members of linguistic minority communities. Focusing on Australia, it integrates sociological and economic approaches to investigate under what circumstances language …
Middle power defence
This article asks how middle powers adjust their defence strategies in the face of new and worsening threats, especially as their traditional alliances become less reliable. It conducts a systematic comparative analysis of middle power balancing strategies across three key regional subsystems—the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Europe—to explain variation in defence responses. Building on neorealist and balance-of-power debates, the article puts…
The double-edged sword of language
China’s borderlands represent an ideal space for examining the ways in which multilingualism is socially experienced, enacted and exploited. This critical ethnography examines the lived experiences of five Vietnamese-Mandarin interpreters at a Chinese hospital bordering Vietnam. Drawing on the concept of alternative language regimes, we demonstrate that Vietnamese proficiency, while creating a crucial niche for employment and mobility, simultaneo…
Optimizing Artificial Soil Mixes for Urban Green Spaces
Background and objective: As urbanization accelerates, urban areas are significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Artificial green spaces, such as green roofs, have emerged as vital strategies for mitigating urban carbon emissions while providing essential ecosystem services. However, the existing research in this area predominantly addresses the carbon sequestration potential of vegetation, leaving the role of soil materia…
Development of machine learning models with explainable AI for frailty risk prediction and their web-based application in community public health
Background: Frailty is a public health concern linked to falls, disability, and mortality. Early screening and tailored interventions can mitigate adverse outcomes, but community settings require tools that are accurate and explainable. Korea is entering a super-aged phase, yet few approaches have used nationally representative survey data. Objective: This study aimed to identify key predictors of frailty risk using the K-FRAIL scale using explai…
How Do Interpreters Not Know Language? Monolingual Approaches to Multilingual Minorities in Interpreting
This study examines how linguistic minorities’ language needs are overlooked in relation to interpreter arrangement via established monolingual practices and ideologies of language barriers. It seeks to problematise the common view of interpreting as a solution to language barriers, through which to highlight the importance of accommodating the often‐multilingual nature of minority languages for interpreting to ensure access equity. Drawing on on…
Bilingual workers in a monolingual state
This article examines the institutional and market treatment of the profession of interpreting in the English-monolingual context of Australia. Based on qualitative interview methods with 67 healthcare interpreters in Australia, the study aims to explore the impact of the linguistic hierarchies in favour of English on the financial and professional valuing of bilingualism and bilingual workers, most of whom are migrants speaking English as their …
To act or not to act
This article examines interpreters’ dilemmas and choices in the case of home-based aged care assessments of elderly migrants in Australia. Based on one-on-one interviews with professional interpreters, it specifically explores tensions between power, norms and interpreters’ own positionings on intercultural communication problems. Data analysis identifies two overarching themes. First, the institutional regulations on engaging in ‘small chats’ wi…
Impact of Learning Styles on Student’s Creativity
Learning and creativity are the focus of all educational institutions including architecture schools. Various researchers have analyzed the individual differences and preferences of the students' learning processes. These preferences have been collectively termed as 'Learning Styles'
Interpreters as Translation Machines
Telehealth has been widely adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this article examines challenges faced by telephone interpreters in working with healthcare providers in the context of the Australian healthcare system. Based on one-on-one interviews with 67 healthcare interpreters in Australia, it explores various elements which affect communication processes in telephone interpreting and interpreters’ views on healthcare providers’ abilities…
English as a global language
The global expansion of English-medium lectures (EMLs) in higher education has predominantly been approached in the context of globalization characterized by neoliberalism. While the spread of EMLs has been viewed as an outcome of institutional pursuit of global competitiveness and internationalization, ongoing global approaches risk overlooking local elements critical for the ascendance of English in specific local contexts. This paper seeks to …
English fever and American dreams
The current paper examines how English has evolved to become valued language capital in South Korea (henceforth ‘Korea’). Since the late 20 th century, Korea has experienced the phenomenon of ‘English fever’, which refers to the frenetic and at times over-zealous pursuit of English-language proficiency across Korean society (J. S. Y. Park, 2009). Researchers have examined ‘English fever’ through various prisms, including education (Park & Abelman…
That’s not how we speak’
The paper examines the operation and impact of monolingual ideologies relating to English in interpreter-mediated courtrooms in Australia. This is an issue relevant to courts in many geographical places, especially in Anglophone nations with common law systems. Using recurrent thematic analyses, the paper draws on interviews with 36 court interpreters working in Australia. From the perspective of legal interpreters, the paper explores three speci…
Constructing a white mask through English
By examining relationships between language and race within Bourdieu's theoretical concept of "misrecognition", this article highlights distinctive ways in which the mental structure of a minority individual becomes Orientalized in relation to a racialized identity construction. Specifically, it examines how English becomes misrecognized asthekey to a desired white identity in the case of one prominent Korean intellectual of the 19th century, Yun…
Why do interpreters need to be beautiful
This article explores the intersections between language, gender and commodification in the Korean language market, in which the focus is currently shifting from language proficiency to personal aesthetics. By drawing on the concept of ‘aesthetic labour’, it explores how and why beautification has emerged as one way of enhancing individual competitiveness among English–Korean female interpreters who are engaged in heavy competition in the context…
Sleepless in Seoul
This article examines the socially constructed nature of significant linguistic insecurity with regard to the English language in Korean society as informed by neoliberalism. It specifically explores how linguistic insecurity leads to the pursuit of linguistic perfectionism under the popular discourse of neoliberal personhood. Participants are English-Korean translators and interpreters who spent extended periods of their youth abroad in English …
Neoliberalism as language policy
This article explores how an economic ideology-neoliberalism-serves as a covert language policy mechanism pushing the global spread of English. Our analysis builds on a case study of the spread of English as a medium of instruction (MoI) in South Korean higher education. The Asian financial crisis of 1997/98 was the catalyst for a set of socioeconomic transformations that led to the imposition of "competitiveness" as a core value. Competition is …
Campus in English or campus in shock
With the acceleration of globalization, universities in East Asia are increasingly under pressure to compete internationally, and ‘internationalization’ of tertiary education in the region has topped the education reform agenda of each government (Mok & James, 2005). In an effort to join the league of world-class universities and attract international students, East Asian universities have expanded the number of English-medium lectures (EMLs) off…
