Undesired language
While translanguaging and other plurilingual pedagogies have gained popularity for their potential to validate students’ linguistic repertoires as they strengthen them, such approaches have generally neglected to acknowledge the distinct affective habitus that can accrete around certain linguistic resources and shape our (non-)use of them. In so doing, we may be inadvertently perpetuating the emotional harms we seek to guard against. As enthusias…
The Role of English and Its Myths in the Emergence of First Language Dissociation among Some Japanese‐English Late Plurilinguals
Linguistic distancing behaviours indicative of linguistic dissociation (Moore, 2023) have been documented in social scientific and literary accounts focusing on the lives of Japanese‐English late plurilinguals (LPs; e.g. Harrison, 2011; Kelsky, 2001; McMahill, 2001; Mori, 1997; Takahashi, 2013). Across these cases, diverse Japanese‐English LPs report distancing themselves from their first language (L1), Japanese, often linking it to negative affe…
Queer breaches and normative devices
Cisgender and heterosexual norms permeate every level of language classrooms, from textbooks to classroom discourse to teachers’ actions, constraining queer/trans learners’ ability to be themselves. Yet queer/trans and non-queer/trans learners alike may challenge cisheteronormativity within the language classroom and create new possibilities. We investigate the possibilities of queer/trans learners’ agency within these normative structures by bri…
Getting Real About Critical Realist Interviewing
Critical realism refers to a broad project to realize a post-positivist social science. At its best, it responds to the challenges thrown down by social constructionist critiques of positivist science, while also allowing us to make interrogable claims about reality-a priority for many working to expose and eradicate structural oppression. In the social sciences, interviews remain one of the foremost methods through which researchers generate dat…
Linguistic dissociation
Across diverse yet largely unconnected reports, including language-focused research studies, psychotherapeutic case studies, literary biographies, and journalism, evidence exists of people distancing themselves from previously acquired linguistic resources, such as accents, dialects, and even named languages. In this article, I begin by discussing a selection of those reports, before arguing that there is a general process shared by these varied …
Trans theory
[It] Changed Everything”
Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding the relevance of queer people and their lives to language education, we still know little about the power of classrooms, institutions, and larger macro structural forces to shape—and be shaped by—the identity experiences of queer L2 learners. This article presents a comparative analysis of the identity dilemmas and decisions of two queer learners as they studied Japanese in their home countries (the U…
Queer Inquiry
Inclusion and Exclusion
This article presents a case study of an English conversation class organised by a nonpolitical group of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) people in Japan. The primary aims of this study are to explore what kinds of learning needs these students had and to consider more generally how educators can best meet LGBT students’ needs. Using interview data from six class participants, the author uses an applied thematic analysis to examine their e…
