Intersectional English(es) and the Gig Economy: Teaching English Online. (e-journal)

---

This article introduces LanguaSpeak, a heretofore underexplored digital platform that
functions as a market for language learners and teachers. It argues that LanguaSpeak,
through both its interface and users’ communicative practice, unwittingly reinforces
existing language ideologies, particularly around race. In making this argument, the article
suggests the notion of “intersectional English(es)” as a means through which scholars can
productively consider the ways in which race, nationality, and language intersect and are
(re)enforced through online interfaces/interaction. Drawing on data collected from the
profiles of English teachers from the United States and the Philippines, this article
examines how language, nationality, and race intersect on LanguaSpeak. Key differences
identified between the two countries’ teachers include price and marketing strategies.
Specifically, White male American teachers are found to enjoy significant advantages over
other teachers, reflecting dominant language ideologies. This has implications for English
language teaching and language discrimination more broadly.
