This book revisits the issue of China English as a developing
variety of English and scrutinises students' and teachers'
attitudes towards their own and other English accents from the
critical phenomenological perspective of Global Englishes (GE) in
the Chinese context. The research contributes to the field of GE by
proposing a model of pronunciation teaching called ToPIC (Teaching
of Pronunciation for Intercultural Communication) informed by
interculturally responsive language pedagogy. Combining theory and
empirical data, the book presents ground-breaking research on
accent attitudes in the Chinese context within the GE paradigm and
raises issues and concerns regarding teaching English, particularly
speaking and pronunciation, from the GE perspective. Unpacking
attitudes towards English accents from a critical perspective, this
book will both show policy makers the need to consider the impacts
of GE and help practitioners and language learners re-evaluate the
goals and needs of English learning. The ToPIC approach also has
significance for curriculum reform as it readdresses various issues
in language policy and practice. The ToPIC approach is recommended
for those interested in teaching and learning English in the
expanding circle context and those seeking to learn more about
learning and using English across the world.
