Paradigm Shifting in Asian Englishes : Promoting an ELF Mindset in Japan

Abstracts
Takayuki Nagamine：Aichi University of Education

Attitudes towards Japan English and its features
In this presentation, the presenter will seek ways of accounting for phonetic features in Japan
English, taking into consideration the fluidity and flexibility that ELF has and ensures. Given that
language attitudes of listeners towards a variety of Englishes can have a great impact on perceived
intelligibility, potential phonetic features that are thought to trigger more negative attitudes ofhearers towards Japan English will be presented and discussed, with their relations to Jenkins’
Lingua Franca Core.
Patrick Ng：University of Niigata Prefecture

Enacting an ELF - informed teaching paradigm: The experience of one teacher
In this paper, the presenter will explore the strategies and paths to document the ways heswitched to an English as Lingua Franca (ELF)-informed teaching paradigm. Through a narrative
account, the presenter will explain how an ELF-informed teaching paradigm empowered him as alegitimate English teacher in his teaching context. The presenter will also discuss his classroom
instructions and the challenges he experienced in enacting an ELF-informed teaching paradigm.

Tricia Okada：Center for English as a Lingua Franca, Tamagawa University“ How did we end up here? ” - Filipino English language teachers in JapanOne of the effects of globalization is the demand for English teachers that has evolved not only from
native speakers but also to include non-native speakers. This change has paved the way for Filipinos
to teach the English language in Japan. This paper aims to present the emergence of Filipino
English language teachers in Japan and to examine how their teacher identity and teachingpractices are relevant to ELF.

ELF in Japan: Selection and cooperative restructuring
This session will report on fieldwork at three authentic ELF environments in Japan, diverse interms of purposes, event types, and participants (with their background experiences and language
repertoires). I will focus on how participants, selecting from their joint repertoire pools,
cooperatively restructure English, illustrating by some concrete findings (addressing practices,question-and-answer routines, etc.). Finally, I will discuss how this perspective can improve the way
we teach English.
