Learning English as a Third Language by Uyghur Students in Xinjiang: A Blessing in Disguise? -- $tIndex 330 $aThis volume is the first to offer a comprehensive and, at the same time, in-depth examination of the spread of English and English language education across Greater China. It consists of two parts. Part 1 presents rich sociolinguistic data for easy comparisons between mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, while Part 2 explores in depth the phenomena inside mainland China to provide contrastive analysis of English language use and education in economically booming areas such as Shanghai and Guangdong and underdeveloped regions like Xinjiang and Yunnan. With the descriptive, comparative and analytical accounts of different territories ranging from nation-states to small villages in remote areas, theories on the spread of English, second/third language acquisition and identity are challenged with new concepts proposed and established. 410 0$aBilingual Education and Bilingualism 606 $aBilingualism 606 $aEnglish language -- Social aspects -- China 606 $aEnglish language -- Study and teaching -- China 606 $aEnglish language -- Study and teaching -- Foreign speakers 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zChina 606 $aEnglish language$xForeign speakers$xStudy and teaching$zChina 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 606 $aBilingualism 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish Language$2HILCC 610 $aChina. 610 $aELF. 610 $aEnglish. 610 $alanguage education. 615 4$aBilingualism. 615 4$aEnglish language -- Social aspects -- China. 615 4$aEnglish language -- Study and teaching -- China. 615 4$aEnglish language -- Study and teaching -- Foreign speakers. 615 4$aLanguage acquisition. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEnglish language$xForeign speakers$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBilingualism 615 0$aLanguage acquisition 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEnglish Language 676 $a428.0071/051 702 $aFeng$b Anwei, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781716703321 996 $aEnglish Language Education Across Greater China$93707053 997 $aUNINA
