Abstract

Linguistic imperialism has gradually become a phenomenon or topic concerned deeply by many linguists, such as Robert Phillipson, along with the process of globalisation. This paper aims at figuring out whether the English learning and teaching in Chinese higher education can be a typical example of Linguistic Imperialism proposed by Robert Phillipson. This paper analyses the relationship between Linguistic Imperialism and English learning in Chinese higher education from the four major perspectives: characteristics of the context, past language learning plan and policy, current language learning plan and policy and the English varieties in Chinese higher education.
