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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 443gContributor: Jane Orton (Edited by), Gao Yihong (Edited by), Joseph Lo Bianco (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Critical Language and Literacy StudiesAuthor: Joseph Lo BiancoTopic: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
