JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND APPLIED LINGUISTICS
Volume 2 Number 1 JUNE 2023
The Journal of English and Applied Linguistics (JEAL) is the peer-reviewed, open access, bi-annual journal of De La Salle University (DLSU). It publishes high-quality research articles in Applied Linguistics, which critically assess existing research paradigms, persuasively connect theory and practice, appropriately utilize contemporary methodologies and techniques, and competently inform policy and practice. The journal gives particular preference for empirically-based and data-driven studies, which exemplify rigor in its review of previous literature, analysis of data, and interpretation of results. At the same time, it values theoretical and conceptual papers, which make novel contributions and serve as a conceptual basis or theoretical scaffolding for addressing societal challenges through a critical analysis of existing literature and issues in Applied Linguistics. It welcomes authorship and collaboration among local and international scholars from Inner, Outer, and Expanding Circles of English whose works are within the target scope of the journal. It invites contributions that provide descriptions of and solutions for the real-world problems of indigenous people, native English speakers in ENL, ESL, and EFL contexts, and ESL and EFL speakers across English circles. Within the subfields of applied linguistics, JEAL focuses on those which are closely related to (1) language in the classroom (e.g., English for Academic Purposes; language teaching, learning, and assessment); (2) language in society (e.g., multilingualism, sociology of language, language attitudes, language ideologies, language planning, language variation, language change, language contact); (3) language in the community of practice (e.g., English for Specific Purposes; language in the workplace); (4) language on the internet (internet linguistics); and (5) language and technology (computer-aided language use/teaching/learning).
JEAL welcomes two types of articles: (1) Short articles. These are theoretical or conceptual papers (e.g., synthesis, validation, or classification of a theory; new conceptual frameworks; practical application of an idea, etc.) with a minimum of 4,000 words and a maximum of 6,000 words (including abstract, notes, main text, appendices, and references); (2) Long articles. These are data-driven studies (i.e., empirical analyses of first- hand data or content/textual analysis of texts) with a minimum of 7,000 words and a maximum of 8,000 words (including abstract, notes, main text, appendices, and references).
JEAL’s creation was initiated by DLSU’s Department of English and Applied Linguistics (DEAL). It is managed by De La Salle University Publishing House (DLSUPH).

Foreword
Welcome to this journal issue, featuring a collection of research articles that delve into various intriguing aspects of language and communication. Each abstract encapsulates a unique study conducted by esteemed scholars from different parts of the world, shedding light on distinct linguistic phenomena and their social implications. From sociolinguistics to language policy, from code-switching to reading achievement, these articles offer valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of language and its profound influence on individuals and communities.
Wilkinson Daniel Wong Gonzales and Tsang Yuen Man’s article on The Sociolinguistics of Code-Switching in Hong Kong’s Digital Landscape takes us on a journey through the hybrid medium of WhatsApp, exploring the intricacies of code-switching between Cantonese and English. The researchers adopt a holistic approach to unravel the social and linguistic factors that shape code-switching patterns, revealing its multifaceted role in conceptual expression, socialization, and identity construction.
In A Review of AI-Powered Writing Tools and Their Implications for Academic Integrity in the Language Classroom by Jasper Roe, George M. Jacobs, and Willy A. Renandya, the authors examine the growing landscape of AI-powered writing tools and their impact on academic integrity. By categorizing different types of tools and drawing from research literature, this conceptual article provides a foundation for pedagogical approaches and academic integrity policies that encompass a broader range of writing technologies.
Turning our attention to Japanese English, Japanese English: Linguistic Attitudes of the Users by Chisato Oda investigates the linguistic attitudes toward Japanese English and its developmental stage. Through a questionnaire survey, the study reveals the complex relationship between frequency of English use, generational differences, and attitudes toward local features, offering insights into the sociolinguistic landscape of Japanese English.
In English Lexical Borrowings in Chabacano Television Newscasts, Luis Roberto P. Soliman and Armand H. Lee explore lexical borrowings from English in the Chabacano language. Through an analysis of data from a local teleradyo program, they examine patterns, affixations, and semantic fields of these borrowings, highlighting how interlocutors modify the Chabacano language to suit their communicative purposes.
Shifting our focus to Cameroon, Official Bilingualism or the Need for a Linguistic Unification in Cameroon investigates the impact of linguistic unification on achieving official bilingualism parity. By analyzing survey and interview data, Jeff Sterline Ngami Kamagoua uncovers the linguistic juxtaposition between Francophone and Anglophone communities and emphasizes the importance of linguistic unification to foster unity and national integration.
In Cohesion, Coherence, and Children Narrative Writing Quality: Topical Structure Analysis, Yin Ling Cheung examines the relationship between cohesion, coherence, and writing quality among English-as-a-second-language children. Through the use of analytic software and holistic assessment, the study uncovers differences in the usage of cohesive devices between high- and low-proficiency groups, providing insights into how explicit teaching can enhance cohesion and coherence in children’s writing.
Lastly, Home Involvement and Reading Achievement on Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) At-Home Activities of Selected Students in a Technical-Vocational School (by Dyan S. Escuadra, Joanna Paula A. Francisco, and Rita P. Rivera) explores the role of home involvement in reading achievement among junior high school learners.
Through interviews, document analysis, and surveys, the study reveals the positive influence of home reading partners on reading interest, motivation, and attitude, suggesting the importance of broadening the involvement of family members in school reading programs.
As you embark on this intellectual voyage through these thought-provoking articles, we encourage you to delve deep into the intricate tapestry of language and its impact on society. We extend our gratitude to the authors for their diligent research and scholarly contributions, as well as to the reviewers and editorial team for their invaluable efforts in bringing this journal issue to fruition. May this collection of studies inspire further exploration and spark meaningful conversations in the field of English and Applied Linguistics.
Enjoy this enriching journey!

From the Editor
It is with great pleasure that I introduce Volume 2, Issue 1 of the Journal of English and Applied Linguistics.
This edition features seven well-thought-out articles from seasoned and young researchers representing the Asia- Pacific region and Central Africa. The diverse topics featured in this volume span a range of compelling issues, including code-switching in the digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for academic integrity, attitudes towards an English variety, lexical borrowings, linguistic unification, cohesion and coherence in writing, and the role of home involvement in reading achievement.
This edition stands out because of its significant contribution to the ongoing AI debate and its implications for academic integrity. One article in this issue delved into the benefits and challenges of AI-powered writing tools in education.
I am confident that the research featured in this volume will spark further discussions that could inspire other educators and researchers to question their current practices in education; revisit how they teach, learn, and research; and apply innovative approaches in their respective fields. It is my prayer that this volume will become a significant resource for researchers and practitioners in applied linguistics in this linguistically diverse, algorithmically driven, and the globally oriented era in research and education.
