内容概要

This study takes a political approach to English Language Teaching (ELT) in China. It was prompted by two parallel developments in China during the past twenty years or so：the expansion of ELT and changes in ideology. The study looks intothe hitherto scarcely explored political aspects of ELT and finds that ELT has significant impact on both the official ideology andthe people's belief system. It fills in a gap in the research of contemporary Chinese politics by revealing the political consequences and implications of ELT. Findings of the study onthe one hand de-mythologize the political innocuousness of ELT,and on the other hand throw light on the more general questions regarding the causes and process of ideological change.

章节摘录

So on the one hand there is the expansion of ELT and on theother hand there is change in ideology, both of which appear veryimpressive. It is the need to interpret, to define the connectionsbetween these two developmentsthat had prompted this study. Asa Starting point, the present author makes the hypothesis thatthere is a cause-effect relationship, between ELT and ideologicalchange, with the former being the cause and the latter being theeffect. Put in the form of questions, the hypothesis involves thefollowing: What is the relationship between these two paralleldevelopments？ Is there a caus.e-effect relationship between them？ Ifthere is one, which development is the cause and which is theeffect？ In what way and to what extent does ELT have an impacton ideology？ And is the ELT case typical of ideological changes inChina in general？     While a more common approach may regard political andideological changes as crucial for the expansion of ELT, thus beingthe cause for the latter, this study approaches the issue the otherway round. As shown above, it poses the question whether it isalso possible that ELT is the cause in the relationship, namely thespread of ELT has been an important factor contributing toideological changes in China. This hypothesis does not reject theview that political and ideological developments in China haveshaped ELT as it is, rather, it suggests a due recognition of thecomplexity and  interaction  involved  in  such  a  relationship.Therefore the study sets out to find theories and evidence thatwould support the above hypothesis.
