\n\t\t[1-Day Short Course] Language and Literacy in the Malay World\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tAbout the course\n\t<\/h4>\n\t

Kursus ini menjurus pada peri penting bahasa dan literasi kritis dalam pembentukan idea, pemikiran dan nilai dalam konteks sejarah dan kebudayaan masyarakat Melayu-Indonesia. Perkembangan bahasa di rantau ini bukan sahaja memperlihatkan pertembungan dan pembauran budaya, tetapi juga hasil dari perancangan bahasa oleh pakar bahasa dan penggubal dasar. Barang tentu dalam dunia bahasa terdapat pertarungan idea. Di sinilah penting kita memanfaatkan pendekatan literasi kritis sehingga membolehkan kita merungkai isu-isu bahasa, termasuk persoalan intelektual disebalik persoalan bahasa yang berlangsung.<\/p>\n

Dalam mengupas topik ini, kita akan memberikan 3 tumpuan utama:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Idea tentang bahasa yang diajukan oleh pakar bahasa dan intelektual dalam masyarakat.<\/li>\n
  2. Analisis tematik tentang beberapa isu bahasa yang timbul dari pelbagai konteks semenjak pasca kemerdekaan. Contohnya berkenaan pilihan antara Jawi dan Rumi, serta pemerosakan makna dan pemilihan bahasa dari sudut ketepatan politik.<\/li>\n
  3. Menilai peranan institusi dan pertubuhan setempat dalam menggagalakkan pengunaan bahasa dan literasi, termasuk halangan dan cabarannya.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Kursus ini relevan kepada para guru, wartawan, pentyunting dan pecinta bahasa. Ia akan memperkenalkan pemetaan berguna untuk memahami wacana bahasa dari sudut sejarah dan ilmu kemasyarakatan. Paling penting, ia menerapkan pendekatan literasi kritia (versi Paulo Freire) sehingga mengaitkan konsep-konsep kritis dalam pembacaan dan kefahaman kita berkenaan fenomena bahasa.<\/p>\n

    Pengantar Kursus:<\/strong> Bahasa Melayu<\/p>\n

    This course focuses on the importance of language and critical literacy in the formation of ideas, thought and values in the socio-historical setting of Malay-Indonesian societies. The language development of the region reflects not only the various cultural contacts, but also the conscious planning on the part of the language planners. But in language also encapsulate the politics of or the contestation of ideas. Here the critical literacy approach could best serve to unpack these language issues, and how it reflects the intellectual undercurrent.<\/p>\n

    In approaching this topic, we shall focus on three main areas<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The ideas of language as put forth by the region’s leading linguists and intellectuals.<\/li>\n
    2. The thematic analyses on various language issues that emerged in various contexts during the post-independent period. For example, the issues on the using of Jawi or Romanised scripts, and the political correctness and distortion of meaning.<\/li>\n
    3. The roles of institutional organisation in the promotion of language and literacy, including its impediments and challenges<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This course should be relevant to teachers, journalists, editors and language enthusiasts. It should provide a good mapping on comprehending language discourse from the perspective of history and society. Most importantly the tools of critical literacy (e.g. a Freirean version) will be employed to delineate how critical concepts could be applied in reading and understand a language phenomenon.<\/p>\n

      Medium of Instruction:<\/strong> Malay<\/p>\n

      \n\t\tWho Should Attend\n\t<\/h4>\n\t
