[논문 초록]
Although diversity is promoted on campuses, international students in higher education have been negatively perceived in terms of their cultural and linguistic difference. The ambivalence of diversity discourse merits a more nuanced exploration of ideologies that entail various forms of discrimination and inequality. Informed by critical discourse studies, this article investigates the manifestation of raciolinguistic ideologies in an English as a second language classroom at a university and illuminates how those ideologies influence international students’ identities. The findings of this study relate to moments of discursive conflict involving the use of a discursive device, language disclaimer. The language disclaimer represents a critical juncture at which the subtle workings of raciolinguistic ideologies are made visible by the international students’ critical language awareness of those ideologies. This article highlights the students’ critical reflexivity and the discursive strategies they deployed for identity negotiation in opposition to dominant ideologies. In doing so, it aims to challenge and change the raciolinguistic ideologies permeating all layers of society.
