2002년에 개최된 중국 공산당의 16全大會는 중국에서 집권당이 정치적 사건에 명확한 태도를 보완하기 위해 인터넷의 존재를 이용하려고 시도한 첫 번째 사례 중의 하나였다. 그것은 중국적 측면에서 e-governance의 초기 버전이거나 혹은 정치적 정당성을 확보하기 위해 정보를 활용한 일종의 e-propaganda의 시도로 보여 질 수 있다. 이논문은 급속하게 변화하는 중국에서 중국 공산당의 정당성을 보강하기 위해 설계된 이러한 웹사이트들의 방법을 탐구하고 있다. 이를 위해 16 全大會의 영문과 중문공식 사이트를 분석하였다. 이 논문은 귀납적 추론 혹은 귀납적 형성의 방법을 통해 중국의 전통적 정치문화의 특징 및 가치들과 새로운 정보 기술에 의해 제공된 투명성 사이에 반복되는 긴장을 묘사하고 있다. 이 분석은 영문과 중문 사이트 사이에 내용과 web features의 면에서 확연한 차이가 존재하고 있으며, 게다가 영문과 중문 사이트 사이의 다른 의제와 다른 정치적 목적을 설명하고 있다.

Teaching English as an Intercultural Language (EIcL) in Korea: Investigating Factors Affecting University Students’ Perceptions of and Attitudes toward EIcL

Randy Green,이강영 신영어영문학회 2016 신영어영문학 Vol.63 No.-

English as an intercultural language (EIcL) has been theoretically discussed in the applied linguistics profession. EIcL aims to create ‘multidialectical English speakers/listeners with intercultural insight and knowledge.Although theoretical discussions on EIcL are relatively at its inceptive stage, the present study examines factors affecting Korean university students’ perceptions of and attitudes toward EIcL and some in-depth ideological underpinnings underneath these factors. 60 students participated in the survey. Data include questionnaires and interviews. The findings indicate that most of the influencing factors for those supportive of inner circle Englishes were functional and stemmed from external forces. On the other hand, the majority of factors that influenced those supportive of EIcL was primarily internal and related to the students’ desire to take part in meaningful intercultural experiences. Pedagogical implications and suggestions are also discussed.

Economics of Otherness in Pearl: Fluidity and Identity

( Randy P. Schiff ) 한국영어영문학회 2017 영어 영문학 Vol.63 No.1

In the fourteenth-century Middle English poem Pearl, the narrator`s effort to ponder the singular nature of heavenly bliss is systematically undermined by economies of difference. While the object of the grieving narrator`s reflection has perennially inspired debate, all analysts recognize that the poem`s structuring relationship is presented in terms of economic competition: a jeweler-narrator judges the pearl as dearer than any other gem set for sale or gift to another. In the dream proper, the Pearl-poet channels spiritual debates grounded in the contrast between the dynamic multiplicity and fluidity of earthly economics with the static singularity of heavenly sublimity. The Pearl-poet deploys the Pearl-maiden as a spiritual authority who highlights the differentially distracted poet`s inability to hold fast to notions of oneness. The Pearl-poet generates a dream topography that mirrors the narrator`s limited perception: the jeweler imperfectly imagines the stable, because immaterial heaven upon which his economically destabilized eyes cannot focus. The multiple rivers of the poem elucidate how explicit efforts to focus on a single lost Pearl are undermined by the ways multiplicity haunts the desiring dreamer`s vision. The poet undermines the earth-heaven binary by toggling between a central river and multiple potential rivers, and thereby reflects on both the artistic nature of dreaming and the specificity of anxious Christian subjectivity. Such rivers are the internal dividing lines that reveal potential others for a dissociative, because earthly, mind that only imagines individuals within a fluid world of others.

Incorporating World Englishes into the Korean EFL Classroom

Randy Green 언어과학회 2015 언어과학연구 Vol.0 No.73

As the number of English speakers included in Kachru`s (1985) so-called Outer and Expanding Circles of English continues to increase worldwide, the study of a variety of issues related to World Englishes has intensified. This study is aimed at identifying the perceptions of 60 university students in an EFL environment in Korea about their personal abilities to distinguish between different forms of English, the importance of learning various non-native versus native forms of World Englishes, and the incorporation of activities into the EFL classroom that introduce a variety of World Englishes. Following the completion of a brief verbal guise test in which students were asked to identify the nationalities of a number of native and non-native English speakers, the participants completed an open-ended questionnaire and took part in focus group discussions. The findings of this study revealed that the high majority of students reported having more difficulty comprehending English from Outer and Expanding Circle Countries than from Inner Circle Countries and that, although most participants recognized the importance of understanding a variety of non-native Englishes and were supportive of the incorporation of World Englishes into the EFL classroom, the majority felt it was more important to learn native than non-native forms of English. In addition, the participants identified a number of factors that influenced their perceptions.

The New Trend in Combatting Unemployment: Earning while Working from Home

( Randy A Tudy ) 한국행정학회 2016 한국행정학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.2016 No.-

Unemployment is global phenomenon even among advanced countries. The phenomenon of people working from home is gaining interest for many people, especially those still looking for jobs. The main purpose of this study was to explore on the work experiences of people working from home or the virtual professionals. This study employed a qualitative research design using phenomenological tradition. Twelve participants from different parts of the Philippines willingly responded to the Key Informant Interviews (KII). In terms of how the participants described their life, including the advantages, the findings revealed the following themes: Freedom, Flexibility, Family Time, Learning Experience, Convenience and Financial Advantage. As to the challenges they experienced, Internet Interruption, Distractions, and Less Social Life were the three major themes that came out. For their suggestions to those still looking for jobs, three themes emerged: Online Work, Confidence and Skills Development. The participants were happy with their work, giving the fact that they have more time with their family and enjoy other benefits. The findings of the study were sources of inspiration for those who are still jobless, for parents who want to be with their kids, but still earn a living, and even for people with disabilities (PWD). Indeed, without much government intervention and investment, the virtual professionals are finding jobs and are paving the way for combating unemployment. The implication of the study is for government and other agencies to understand this new phenomenon and to create mechanisms to support and promote it.

The Spoils of Neo-Babylon: Widening the Lens of Empire and Re-Centering Modernity in Cleanness

( Randy P. Schiff ) 한국영어영문학회 2021 영어 영문학 Vol.67 No.2

Whereas some scholars argue that the medieval West saw Babylon as a cultural backwater with monstrous roots, the poet of the fourteenth-century Middle English poem Cleanness privileges the Neo-Babylonian Empire as it develops its historico-ethical agenda. Cleanness, an alliterative homily designed to promote ethical behavior by dwelling on filthy acts, is fundamentally divided into three exempla. The poet distances the third exemplum from the opening stories of the Flood and Sodom, by marking a clear transition from the misty and archaic world of Genesis to a more recognizably historical Neo-Babylonian setting for Belshazzar’s Feast. Whereas some scholars see a continuous parade of exempla equally censorious of unclean sinners, I argue that the final exemplum of the poem, by being both recognizably historical and geographically complex, makes Neo-Babylon the setting for the poem’s most salient study of human ethics. The geographical richness and historical verisimilitude that characterize the Neo-Babylon of Cleanness can also be seen by the poet’s use of a multi-ethnic Trojan War and diaspora to frame Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The Cleanness-Poet’s realistic depiction of Neo-Babylonian history strikingly situates the poem’s key ethical lesson in a non-Western setting. To portray the poem’s ultimate ethical test as a choice between being like Nebuchadnezzar or Belshazzar, the poet makes use of the tropes of the “righteous heathen” and the “homo sacer” to transform Nebuchadnezzar into a remarkable protagonist whose suffering can instruct audiences in clean behavior.

Dynamic Pedagogy and the English as an Intercultural Language Paradigm: A Model for the EFL Classroom

Randy Green 현대영미어문학회 2020 현대영미어문학 Vol.38 No.1

The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine two pedagogical approaches that have arisen in response to the pervasive influence that World Englishes currently has on EFL education, Dynamic Pedagogy (DP) (Mahboob and Dutcher 2013) and English as an Intercultural Language (EIcl) (Green and Lee K. Y. 2018), as well as to explore a means of converging these two approaches in an EFL setting. Specifically, the study identifies the perceptions of 24 Korean university students to a classroom activity designed to raise the awareness of the participants to several tenets of both DP and EIcL. The results indicate that the activity promoted this awareness for the majority of participants and that the participants had a positive perception of the activity itself. With these findings in mind, a number of pedagogical implications are discussed.
