Ke's book examines and reflects on English education in Taiwan from
a global English perspective, starting with a discussion on
globalization and global Englishes. English education in Taiwan has
gone through various major transformations since the
intensification of globalization after the 1990s. On one hand,
children start to learn English ever earlier while on the other
hand, the curriculum and materials in the vocational schools and at
the tertiary level become diversified to meet various specific
needs of English use. Internationalization of education has brought
increasing numbers of international students, and the roles of
English in Taiwan are changing constantly with the dynamic
environment, from a foreign language to a lingua franca, medium of
instruction, and an international language. In his book, the author
documents the historical development of education and the roles of
English in Taiwan before reviewing curriculum reforms and changes
in the past half century. He then presents teachers' and students'
perceptions on global Englishes. He proposes global Englishes'
pedagogies and his views on what changes can be made to textbooks,
learning materials, entrance exams, translation, and the linguistic
environment. Practical suggestions to English education in Taiwan
in the globalizing context serve as a tentative conclusion for the
book. Offering insights into English education and its relationship
with globalization, Ke's book will be useful to researchers and
students in the fields of global Englishes and English education as
well as offering practical pedagogical suggestions for English
educators around the world.
