Negotiating Cultural Identities through Language: Academic English in Jordan

Anne Marie Pedersen Chapman University

Abstract

This article discusses how a group of multilingual scholars in Jordan negotiate multiple linguistic and cultural affiliations. These writers’ experiences demonstrate the varied ways English’s global dominance affects individuals’ lives. The scholars find both empowerment and disempowerment in English, viewing English as linked to Western hegemony in some situations and as de-nationalized and de-territorialized in others.
