商品描述
This book explores the unique experiences of Thai-speaking minority students within Malaysia's multilingual educational landscape. It focuses on how these students, often overlooked in educational discourse, navigate learning English as a third language amidst the linguistic dominance of Bahasa Malaysia in national schools.
It examines the sociolinguistic and educational challenges Thai-speaking students face in Malaysia, particularly in the context of English Language Learning (ELL). By focusing on this minority group, it highlights the broader dynamics of multilingual education and the implications of learning English alongside another non-native language, Bahasa Malaysia. By documenting the lived experiences of a minority group that is often marginalized in policy discussions, it offers new insights into how minority students navigate the dual challenge of mastering English as a third language and achieving academic success in a second language (Bahasa Malaysia).
This book adds to the body of research on linguistic minorities and educational equity, and challenges the existing paradigms of language learning in multicultural societies like Malaysia. It employs a qualitative research approach, with ethnographic observations and semi-structured interviews conducted among Thai-speaking pupils. These methods allow for an in-depth understanding of the students' cognitive and emotional responses to learning in a linguistically complex environment. It also introduces an innovative framework for assessing how sociocultural and linguistic factors intersect to affect learning outcomes.
Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how multilingual and minority students experience education in Malaysia. This book serves as a helpful resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in multilingual education, as it offers practical strategies to support minority students in overcoming linguistic barriers. Furthermore, it also offers a broader reflection on the importance of language diversity in achieving equitable educational outcomes.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了在馬來西亞多語言教育環境中，泰語系少數族裔學生的獨特經歷。它專注於這些學生如何在國立學校中，面對馬來語的語言主導地位，學習英語作為第三語言，這些學生在教育論述中常常被忽視。
本書檢視了泰語系學生在馬來西亞面臨的社會語言學和教育挑戰，特別是在英語學習（ELL）的背景下。通過聚焦於這個少數群體，它突顯了多語言教育的更廣泛動態，以及在學習另一種非母語的馬來語的同時學習英語的影響。通過記錄這個在政策討論中常被邊緣化的少數群體的生活經歷，本書提供了新的見解，說明少數學生如何應對掌握英語作為第三語言和在第二語言（馬來語）中取得學業成功的雙重挑戰。
這本書為語言少數群體和教育公平的研究體系增添了新的內容，並挑戰了在馬來西亞這樣的多元文化社會中，現有的語言學習範式。它採用質性研究方法，對泰語系學生進行民族誌觀察和半結構式訪談。這些方法使我們能夠深入了解學生在語言複雜環境中學習的認知和情感反應。它還引入了一個創新的框架，用於評估社會文化和語言因素如何交叉影響學習成果。
讀者將對馬來西亞的多語言和少數學生在教育中所經歷的情況有更細緻的理解。這本書為教育工作者、政策制定者和對多語言教育感興趣的研究者提供了有用的資源，因為它提供了實用的策略來支持少數學生克服語言障礙。此外，它還對語言多樣性在實現公平教育成果中的重要性進行了更廣泛的反思。
