Not only has the impact of 2020 global pandemic occasioned the spring of social and economic worries for the worldwide statehood, community response for this stress has also elevated an intercultural issue on the society consequently. The birthplace of this global epidemic has seized the issued stigmatization through the disease naming. This naming disease which is credited to a neutral meaning at the first place, now gainsays the harmful weight of its stigmatization. In response for avoiding stigmatization, in 2015, WHO underlines that naming disease should not refer to a convinced animal, place, people. Therefore, today pandemic has been presented as ‘Covid-19’. On the contrary, instead of following the endorsed plague name, “Chinese Virus” has been plied highly by the communities in a favor of Covid-19 stigmatization. The urgency of this study is to investigate the “Chinese virus” in alliance with the Covid-19 pandemic stigmatization. Several meme websites has been inspected as the sources for the collected data.

A case study of the EFL learners’ subjectivities, attitudes, and investment on English varieties in a State Islamic University in East Java

ENGLISH: The global spread of English is one of the interesting topics to be discussed in relation to the context of English Language Teaching (ELT). In fact, English has been used by various speakers outside the UK or USA. Hence, it is crucial to critically examine the EFL learners’ subjectivities, attitudes, and also investment on World Englishes or Standard English considering that none of the existing studies specifically discuss this topic in the context of multilingual and multicultural society such as Indonesia. There are three objectives of this study, namely to investigate how EFL learners’ subjectivities are constructed, how their subjectivities interplay or not interplay to their attitudes, and how they construct their investment towards World Englishes and/or Standard English. To collect the data, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with each of the participants and also conducted participant observation. The researcher also summarised several previous studies that have discussed the policy documents of the ELT curriculum in Indonesia. This data triangulation is conducted to capture an in-depth data related to the topic of this present study. Meanwhile, in terms of data analysis, this study employs various theories such as Gao’s (2014) English learners’ identity prototype, Darvin & Norton’s (2015; 2017) model of investment, and Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) explained by Walshaw (2007) to examine the EFL learners’ subjectivities, attitudes, and investment. This study concludes that the EFL learners in IU tend to shape multiple and contradictory identities in conceiving English varieties. The EFL learners’ subjectivities on English varieties are constituted through various factors such as; (1) their professional experiences, (2) institutional practices, (3) personal histories, (4) disciplinary courses, (5) policy documents, (6) cultural geography and (7) their hobbies related to English. In relation to the subjectivities’ construction, the finding of this study also demonstrates that the participants’ attitudes on English varieties could be negotiated in different contexts. This study, by extent, also indicates complex investment that is structured by the participants due to the exposure of World Englishes paradigm in the Introduction to Applied Linguistics course and the hegemony of Inner circle English in the ELT practices of formal or non-formal institutions of English learning in Indonesia. Overall, the findings of this study denote that the EFL learners’ subjectivities, attitudes and investment are connected each other since the construction and reconstruction of the EFL learners’ subjectivities also likely predispose the EFL learners’ attitudes and investment on English varieties. INDONESIA: Penyebaran bahasa Inggris secara global merupakan salah satu topik yang menarik untuk dibahas dalam kaitannya dengan konteks Pengajaran Bahasa Inggris (PBI). Faktanya, bahasa Inggris telah banyak digunakan oleh beragam penutur diluar Inggris dan Amerika Serikat. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk secara kritis meneliti subjektivitas, sikap, dan investasi mahasiswa EFL mengingat bahwa belum ada kajian terdahulu yang secara khusus membahas topik ini dalam konteks masyarakat multibahasa dan multikultural seperti Indonesia. Terdapat tiga tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menyelidiki bagaimana subjektivitas mahasiswa EFL terkonstruksi, bagaimana subjektivitas mereka memengaruhi atau tidak memengaruhi sikap mereka, serta bagaimana mahasiswa EFL mengonstruksi investasi mereka terhadap Bahasa Inggris Dunia atau Bahasa Inggris Standar. Untuk mengumpulkan data penelitian, peneliti melakukan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan masing-masing partisipan dan juga melakukan observasi partisipan. Peneliti juga merangkum beberapa kajian terdahulu yang telah membahas dokumen kebijakan kurikulum Pengajaran Bahasa Inggris (PBI) di Indonesia. Data triangulasi ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk memperoleh data mendalam terkait topik penelitian ini. Sementara itu, dalam hal analisis data, penelitian ini juga menggunakan berbagai teori seperti teori dari Gao (2014) mengenai macam-macam identitas mahasiswa bahasa Inggris, teori dari Darvin & Norton (2015; 2017) mengenai model investasi, dan Analisis Wacana Foucauldian (FDA) yang dijelaskan oleh Walshaw (2007) untuk menyelidiki subjektivitas, sikap, dan investasi mahasiswa EFL. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mahasiswa EFL pada salah satu universitas Islam cenderung membentuk identitas ganda dan kontradiktif dalam memahami Bahasa Inggris Dunia atau Bahasa Inggris Standar. Subjektivitas mahasiswa EFL pada variasi bahasa Inggris dibentuk melalui beragam faktor seperti; (1) pengalaman profesional mereka, (2) praktik-praktik dari institusi, (3) sejarah personal, (4) mata kuliah, (5) dokumen kebijakan, (6) geografi kultural, dan (7) hobi mereka yang berhubungan dengan bahasa Inggris. Berkaitan dengan konstruksi subjektivitas, hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa sikap partisipan penelitian terhadap variasi bahasa Inggris dapat dinegosiasikan dalam konteks yang berbeda. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan investasi kompleks yang dibentuk oleh para partisipan penelitian karena adanya paparan paradigma Bahasa Inggris dunia dalam mata kuliah Pengantar Linguistik Terapan dan hegemoni ‘lingkaran dalam’ bahasa inggris dalam praktik Pengajaran bahasa Inggris di lembaga pembelajaran bahasa Inggris formal atau non-formal. di Indonesia. Secara keseluruhan, temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa subjektivitas, sikap, dan investasi mahasiswa EFL saling terkait satu sama lain mengingat konstruksi dan rekonstruksi subjektivitas mahasiswa EFL kemungkinan juga memengaruhi sikap dan investasi mahasiswa EFL terhadap variasi bahasa Inggris.
