“…In this case, new understandings of teaching and learning as a developmental process value the significance of teacher identities. Chew (2020) asserts that sociolinguists have recently started investigating the connection between language and religion, a subject that has traditionally been studied by anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists, and theologians. The study of religion and language is important because they are interconnected in Asia and other parts of the world.…”

“…English is considered a lingua franca, a holy language, and a tool for proselytizing. In order to attain a comprehensive understanding of Asian society, it is imperative to recognize the significant impact of religious beliefs in countries such as Afghanistan, Malaysia, and Taiwan (Chew, 2020) Therefore, research centered on Malaysia as the research context could potentially expand the existing literature on this topic.…”

The Asian Corpus of English OverviewThis chapter provides an introduction to the Asian Corpus of English (ACE)how it was collected and why and how it will be used in this book. As such, this chapter is relatively technical and will be of particular interest to those readers who wish to undertake research using the Asian Corpus of English.ACE was designed to be comparable with the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE) (Seidlhofer 2011). The participants recorded in ACE are primarily, but not exclusively, first-language speakers of Asian languages, while the participants in VOICE are primarily, but not exclusively, first-language speakers of European languages. ACE contains some one million words of naturally occurring, non-scripted face-to-face interactions (around 120 hours of recorded speech) of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in Asia. A wide range of speech events have been included in ACE. These include interviews, press conferences, service encounters, seminar discussions, working group discussions, workshop discussions, meetings, panels, question-and-answer sessions and conversations. The transcribed speech events are categorised under five major settings with their percentage of the corpus data in brackets: education (25 per cent); leisure (10 per cent); professional business (20 per cent); professional organisations; (35 per cent); and professional research/science (10 per cent). The corpus data have been tagged following the transcription conventions originally developed by the VOICE team. These tags enable users to obtain a clear picture of the transcribed data (e.g., pauses, overlaps, pronunciation variations & coinages), and make ACE and VOICE comparable. In October 2014, ACE was officially launched online. Users can browse the corpus data according to the five types of setting (previously mentioned) or according to the various data collection sites (Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, Mainland China and Taiwan). A Web concordancer has been developed which allows users to search any word/phrase in ACE. Other than searching the corpus, users can also listen to the sound recording of certain ACE files. These functions have made it possible for researchers and teachers/learners to explore the ACE data for various research and pedagogical purposes.
