Displacement and socio-economic (in)mobility of Chinese expatriates in Africa
No full textThis article investigates the transnational experiences of Chinese expatriates in Africa, drawing upon survey, semi-structured interviews, and sketch mapping with Chinese expatriates working in different sectors in Ethiopia. I argue their transnational movement are shaped by inter-state diplomatic ties, overseas ventures of Chinese companies, and the individual aspirations for better livelihoods in China. Specifically, expatriation is marketed by official rhetoric of South-South skills transfer at the state level and sustained by management activities and discursive constructions of certain employee characteristics (e.g. suzhi) as strategies for differentiation at the firm level. The emergence of a transnational social order of stratification among expatriates indicates that Chinese in Africa are neither a homogenous group nor free-floating cosmopolitan elites with power and resources at their disposal. Instead, most expatriates are simultaneously domestic and international migrants moving between places within and beyond China. They are subject to varying degrees of empowerment, displacement, estrangement, and socio-economic (in)mobility at migratory nodes, which informs their future migration decisions

Talking the past for future: History and history education programmes during the pandemic and post-pandemic time in Indonesia
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed almost the entire order of human life, including the field of education. One of the concerns is the relevance of educational subjects during the disruption period and the post-pandemic world. What are pandemic effects for the future of History and History Education programmes in Indonesia\u27s higher education? We will examine some notes from the academics, students, as well as recent graduates in the field and then reflect qualitatively from our perspective about its practical implication for the short-term and mid-term period.
With social restrictions, travel ban, and limited access to public facilities, conducting historical research became more challenging. The relatively underdeveloped archival and source documentation system in developing countries causes the quality of final assignments or academic journals among tertiary student to rely on secondary sources instead of primary ones. Meanwhile, online learning has reduced the conventional history learning model in the classroom to be more theoretical. However, in general, quality is not a significant issue for many students and graduates. This condition may be related to the standards set since the pre-pandemic period was not very high. For them who have graduated recently, the biggest concern may be not in term of quality but for their career: how long they should wait for the job to be available again
The role of sociolinguistic approach for personal assessment in anthropocentric paradigm
No full textThis article is motivated by anthropocentric direction in modern science manifested by the era of globalisation. One of the most highlighted areas of focus in anthropocentrism is the significance of personal factor. This dimension is to be revealed in current language teaching. The objective of the study is to examine the relevance of sociolinguistic approach for self-expression assessment.
The findings illustrate that anthropocentric paradigm in methodology is manifested largely in linguodidactics, which investigates at the interdisciplinary level the laws of interaction of language, consciousness, culture and society. Furthermore, it explores the processes of a person\u27s mastery of language in educational conditions and in terms of cross-cultural contacts with representatives of other linguistic society. In that regard the importance of self-identity in intercultural communication is growing. As a result linguodidactics faces the necessity to specify this self-expression during the educational course.
The research supported the prediction that sociolinguistic approach can facilitate this assessment. The process of familiarising students with linguistic variability in L2 comprehension serves as a key element to cultural appreciation. Namely students’ ability to interpret sociolinguistic parameters of a foreigner’s speech may serve as one of the possible tools for assessing the identity of foreign language learners. According to this principle, a person via dialect, region, social status etc. expresses him-/herself to individuals and groups who have a different cultural and linguistic background.
These findings add to the evidence indicating that we should account for sociolinguistic approach to conceive and assess self-expression in dialogue of cultures
