Chinese is an ancient language, but the present scope of its global
study is unprecedented. Comprehending the impacts of worldwide
linguistic realities on 'Chinese as a Foreign Language' (CFL)
teachers and students will be critical to its long-term success.
The most important phenomenon has been the establishment of English
as a lingua franca, especially in the expanding marketplaces of
Asia. This book examines the role of English as a medium of
instruction in CFL classrooms. It begins by integrating existing
studies on the global spread of English with research on English as
a medium of second language acquisition. Several valuable empirical
analyses from actual CFL classrooms serve both to validate the use
of English as a lingua franca and expose that much more work needs
to be done to ground this practice in deep sociocultural and
ecological settings. The author advocates the development of a new
pedagogy that emphasizes taking account of specific cultural,
social, and political contexts in order to reach an ever-more
diverse body of students. The book concludes with a discussion of
the role of English in China's national education system and social
development, as well as predictions about the future relationship
between Chinese and English.
