English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is highly promoted in Taiwan because the government considers English proficiency a valuable skill for Taiwanese workers to compete in the global market. Yet, despite widespread interest in the subject, English teachers in Taiwanese schools have encountered hindrances, including limitations of EFL course content and methodology in the classroom pedagogy. EFL pedagogy has often focused on testing, rote-learning, and exam preparation while the curriculum lacked discussion of diverse global issues. In light of these challenges, in the recent educational reforms aiming to diversify the educational system, the high school curriculum guidelines in Taiwan initiated changes in reinterpreting the role of the EFL curriculum. Shifting from the past focus on grammar and vocabulary, the current EFL curriculum now focuses to some extent on diverse global topics such as sustainable development and social justice issues around the world. This study analyzed high school level EFL textbooks and conducted interviews with EFL teachers. Data analysis revealed that EFL textbooks now include issues such as equity, anti-discrimination, environmental protection, and diversity, comprising themes associated with global citizenship education. Interview data demonstrated that teachers' critical reading of these textbooks influenced their pedagogical approach to these global topics. Teachers also critiqued the lack of in-depth discussion in textbooks and the need to incorporate supplementary material and activities. A further critical analysis of the data informed by the theory of Paulo Freire underlines challenges confronting Taiwanese teachers when preparing students to engage with topics of global citizenship. The analysis also illuminates the teachers' emerging critical awareness. Teachers negotiate with these challenges in attempting to bring textbook topics to life for the students. Further implications of this study include EFL education policy recommendations and a re-envisioning of how Taiwanese high schools might situate English language learning in the globalized world.

Ke’s book examines and reflects on English education in Taiwan from a global English perspective, starting with a discussion on globalization and global Englishes. English education in Taiwan has gone through various major transformations since the intensification of globalization after the 1990s. On one hand, children start to learn English ever earlier while on the other hand, the curriculum and materials in the vocational schools and at the tertiary level become diversified to meet various specific needs of English use. Internationalization of education has brought increasing numbers of international students, and the roles of English in Taiwan are changing constantly with the dynamic environment, from a foreign language to a lingua franca, medium of instruction, and an international language. In his book, the author documents the historical development of education and the roles of English in Taiwan before reviewing curriculum reforms and changes in the past half century. He then presents teachers' and students’ perceptions on global Englishes. He proposes global Englishes' pedagogies and his views on what changes can be made to textbooks, learning materials, entrance exams, translation, and the linguistic environment. Practical suggestions to English education in Taiwan in the globalizing context serve as a tentative conclusion for the book. Offering insights into English education and its relationship with globalization, Ke’s book will be useful to researchers and students in the fields of global Englishes and English education as well as offering practical pedagogical suggestions for English educators around the world.

"English is the most widely taught and learned language in the world and is used for communication among speakers from different language backgrounds. How it can be effectively taught and learned, what English means to, and how it can be "owned" by, non-native speakers of English in Asia and elsewhere, are all issues that warrant contemplation. This edited collection addresses these issues and more by looking at a wide range of topics that are relevant and timely in contexts where English is taught as a foreign language. The authors offer novel perspectives gleaned from theory and actual practice that can inform English language teaching in Asia and beyond. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, curriculum developers, and practitioners in the field of English teaching and learning"--

This 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.
