ABSTRACT

Since “China English” was put forward by Ge Chuangui in 1982, more and more linguists, researchers, and English educators have begun to pay their attention to this new variety. With the study of China English and foreign language teaching in China, some scholars suggest that China English should be taught in universities or colleges. Although this paper admits the objective existence of China English, the author does not agree with popularization of China English at present. The purpose of this paper is to clarify inappropriateness of China English teaching, and to point out serious consequences of abuse of China English.
