Язык как средство обучения играет решающую роль в доступе к качественному образованию. Дети из маргинализированных сообществ, не имеющие собственного языка, вынуждены использовать язык угнетателей. В частности, восприятие, самосознание и идеология учащихся-далитов в отношении их языковой идентичности, изучения языка и средств обучения на уровне старшей школы, несмотря на их маргинализацию в обществе, способствуют более широкому пониманию роли лингвистического фактора для их педагогической поддержки. Представленное качественное исследование использует интервью и обсуждение в фокус-группах в качестве основных инструментов для получения данных от специально отобранных студентов-далитов, обучающихся в долине Катманду. Для получения данных было проведено 22 полуструктурированных интервью с ключевыми информантами и две дискуссии в фокус-группах. Для анализа данных с геолингвистической точки зрения использовались описательные, исследовательские и интерпретационные методы. Выводы показывают, что студенты-далиты, обучающиеся на уровне старших классов, осознавали своё чувство потери из-за отсутствия у них собственного родного языка, т.е. отдельной языковой идентичности. Они предпочитают непальский язык в качестве средства обучения для своей педагогической поддержки, поскольку хорошо понимают этот язык. В то же время респонденты предпочли английский язык для своих профессиональных возможностей, трудоустройства за границей и повышения социально-экономического статуса далитов, а также как инструмент борьбы за их роль и права в обществе. Данный вывод подтверждает необходимость работы со студентами-далитами в отношении их педагогической поддержки через обращение к вопросам их языковой идентичности на уровне старшей школы.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study explores the critical awareness of Dalit students in Nepal (belonging to the subaltern group of the untouchables in the Hindu caste system) regarding their linguistic identity and pedagogical scaffolding. Language as the medium of instruction plays a crucial role in having access to quality education. Children from marginalized communities, who do not have their own language, have a compulsion to use the language of oppressors. More specifically, Dalit students’ perception, awareness, and ideology with regard to their linguistic identity, language learning, and medium of instruction at the plus-two level, despite their marginalization in the society, enhance broader understanding of the role of the linguistic factor for their pedagogical support. This qualitative study adopts interview and focus group discussion as major tools for generating data from purposively sampled Dalit students studying in the Kathmandu Valley. To generate the data, 22 semi-structured interviews of the key informants and two focus group discussions were conducted. Descriptive, exploratory and interpretive methods were employed to analyze the data from a geolinguistic perspective. The findings show that Dalit students studying at the plus-two level were aware of their sense of loss for not having their own mother tongue, i.e. a separate linguistic identity. They prefer the Nepali language as the medium of instruction for their pedagogical scaffolding as they understand clearly in this language. At the same time, the respondents preferred the English language for professional opportunities, foreign employment, and uplift of the socio-economic status of Dalits and as a tool for combating their power negotiation in society. This conclusion supports the need to deal with Dalit students in regard to their pedagogical scaffolding by addressing the issues of their linguistic identity at the plus-two level.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>студенты-далиты</kwd><kwd>языковая идентичность</kwd><kwd>средство обучения</kwd><kwd>педагогическая поддержка</kwd><kwd>борьба за права</kwd><kwd>геолингвистика</kwd><kwd>языки Непала</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Dalit students</kwd><kwd>linguistic identity</kwd><kwd>medium of instruction</kwd><kwd>pedagogical scaffolding</kwd><kwd>power negotiation</kwd><kwd>geolinguistics</kwd><kwd>languages of Nepal</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Aahuti.
