【 摘 要 】

Based on an interview with an international undergraduate student, I examine the theory of translingual practice considering overcoming language differences to achieve a set communicative goal.Differing language ownership causes meaning to arise from negotiation practices based on local situations. The negotiation of power relations relates to the negotiation of semantic meaning.This subject is influenced by pedagogy and the spread of locally-influenced Englishes in the wake of globalization.Implicit in contact zone encounters are issues of power, multiculturalism and language rights.Contact zones of English are inherently power-ridden, so a range of strategies are necessary for effective negotiation of voice and interests. This paper examines the background of translingual practice and analyzes the negotiation strategies used to overcome varying levels of English ownership.
