Abstract:

It has been said there are more Chinese learning English than there are
Americans.  We all have a sense that the first decades of the third
millennium, including the effects of the global financial recession, signal
dramatic changes to the shape of the world to come.  China's emergence as a
superpower is one of the few certainties in this rapidly changing world.
What is less well realised is the critical role which China's decisions
about English will play in the world's communication profile.  This unique
volume explores this question looking at the debates on identity, cultural
values and communication practices. Taking a wide-ranging view and uniquely
blending both Chinese and Western perspectives the volume explores the
critically important cultural consequences of mass English learning in
today's world.
