Language Ideologies in the Chinese Context : Orientations to English As a Lingua Franca, Hardcover by Wang, Ying, ISBN 1501511688, ISBN-13 9781501511684, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKThe spread of English illuminates the need for English, says Wang, and though a growing number of Chinese in China speak it, Chinese interest in English is often paired with bias against Chinese speakers of English and their linguistic performance. She explores this phenomenon using questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Her topics are China and the globalization of English; language ideologies: from languages to Englishes; researching language ideologies of Chinese speakers; orienting to Chinese speakers' English as a lingua franca; authority, identity, and ideological struggle; sense-making of English change among Chinese speakers; and ideologies about Chinese English as a lingua franca: China and compromised linguistic legitimacy.
