The Future Conditional
In The Future
Conditional , Eric S. Henry brings
twelve-years of expertise and research to offer a nuanced
discussion of the globalization of the English language and the
widespread effects it has had on Shenyang, the capital and largest
city of China's northeast Liaoning Province. Adopting an
ethnographic and linguistic perspective, Henry considers the
personal connotations that English, has for Chinese people, beyond
its role in the education system. Through research on how English
is spoken, taught, and studied in China, Henry considers what the
language itself means to Chinese speakers. How and why, he asks,
has English become so deeply fascinating in contemporary China,
simultaneously existing as a source of desire and anxiety? The
answer, he suggests, is that English-speaking Chinese consider
themselves distinctly separate from those who do not speak the
language, the result of a cultural assumption that speaking English
makes a person modern.
Seeing language as a study that goes beyond the classroom,
The Future Conditional assesses the emerging viewpoint
that, for many citizens, speaking English in China has become a
cultural need-and, more immediately, a realization of one's
future.
