"china english" and elt in china: Global vision and local spirit

Abstract

"China English" is an objective reality, which is an English variety in China. It is different from other varieties such as "Cantonese English", "Chinese Pidgin English", "Chinglish". In China, "China English" needs to be integrated into ELT, which not only helps to make up for the gap in the cultural exchange between China and the West, but also is conducive to the spread of Chinese culture. It is the best English carrier for Chinese culture. Although "China English" is not yet a national variety of English, its importance is self-evident. Meanwhile, it also brings some enlightenment to ELT in China.
