Abstract

For historical and practical reasons, the language education policy in Hong Kong and Macau is characterised by "multilingualism". At present, bilingual education is spreading across universities and primary and secondary schools in many provinces and cities in mainland China, but faces a number of bottlenecks that need to be addressed, one of which is the policy on bilingual education. This paper examines the role of English in language education policies in Hong Kong, reviewing past and future language education policies in Hong Kong, the historical context of language education policies, the debates over language education policies, and the assessment of the successes or challenges of these policies.
