Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Drawing on the concepts of desire from applied linguistics and Deleuzian perspectives, this study investigates the desires encapsulated in a Japanese woman’s English learning sojourn in the Philippines. Data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire and through two semi-structured interviews. The participant’s retrospective narrative provides insight into her perceptions of the Philippines compared to Canada. While previous research has primarily examined the sociolinguistic aspects of studying abroad in the Philippines, the current study expands this focus to encompass other dimensions, such as material factors. The findings illuminate how the Philippines, as a study-abroad destination, is experienced and remembered by students. Further, the findings unveil the participant’s ambivalent yet irresistible akogare for the West. The marginal desirability of the Philippines as a study-abroad destination represents how the historically and economically constituted global hierarchies of power have been reproduced in the discourse and practice of transnational English learning.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
