Native-Speakerism in English Language Teaching: The Current Situation in China (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527540194)

This book is the first systematic, large-scale study of the current situation of native-speakerism in the realm of Chinaâ (TM)s English Language Teaching (ELT). By extending the semantic scope of native-speakerism initially defined by Adrian Holliday, the book offers a critical examination of how this language ideology is enacted, reproduced, reinforced and legitimized in everyday ELT practice within the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to explore and interpret the attitudes and perceptions of students, teachers and administrators as the major stakeholders engaged in ELT practice, with a primary focus on English language varieties, cultural orientations, and teaching methodologies.
