Globalization and Language Teaching and Learning in China
Description
ABSTRACT
Globalization has been an irreversible trend in the world economic and social advances. China, as an indispensable developing power, is playing a significant role on the world stage. Language, as a cultural element, is also affecting the process of China’s globalization. This paper aims to study the relationship between globalization and the cultural development of foreign language teaching and learning in China. It analyzes the reasons for the boost of foreign language teaching and learning in the age of knowledge economy. Language, conveying ideological, political and cultural connotations, carries more significance beyond its linguistic importance. In the context of globalization, therefore, language teaching and learning is a more complicated issue than a pure culture indicator.
