Introduction

At any given moment there are twice as many Chinese learning English as there are citizens of the U.S.A. English instruction begins in kindergarten and continues into postgraduate study, for both English majors and non-English majors. Everyone in China must study English. Local variants of English such as Chinglish and Chinese English are discouraged as inappropriate. Students are placed under extreme pressure to “master” English. National English competency exams are a predicate to further study or employment. China employs more than 150,000 native English speakers to teach English in its schools. Some programs encourage Chinese learners of English to locate foreigners on the street and run up to them and yell “Hello” in the foreigner’s face. This crazy approach is predicated upon the belief that the only way to improve your English is to engage with a native English speaker. Teaching English as a Foreign Language in China is predicated upon 4 GREAT LIES.

First lie: You must master English

Every Chinese learner of English is instructed that they must “master” English.
Due to the inordinate influence of the British Council on English learning in China, most Chinese students of English own the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary or Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. These are also the most available dictionaries in school libraries and book stores throughout China.

“Master” is defined in the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary as:

master (SKILLED PERSON
noun [C]
1 a person who is very skilled in a particular job or activity:
He was a master of disguise.

2 a famous and very skilled painter:
This painting is clearly the work of a master.

master
adjective [before noun]
extremely skilled:
a master craftsman
a master chef

master
verb [T]
to learn how to do something well:
to master a technique
She lived in Italy for several years but never quite mastered the language.
He quickly mastered the art of interviewing people.

masterful
adjective
If an action is masterful, it is very skilful:
a masterful performance

masterfully
adverb

masterly
adjective
done extremely well:
She gave a masterly performance as Kate in 'The Taming of the Shrew'.

mastery
noun [U]
If someone has a mastery of something, they are extremely skilled at it:
her mastery of the violin

Dr. Niu Qiang, one of China’s eminent scholars in English Linguistics explains that to “master” English one must speak like a native speaker.

But, assuming the student is motivated to “master” English, which English should they choose to “master”?

The above list may not be exhaustive.

Most Chinese students of English settle for “mastering” a dictionary definition of English. They memorize long lists of English words and their definitions, or set phrases, to pass the National English proficiency examinations (Qiufang and Johnson 1997) and then wonder why they can’t speak or write comprehensible English.

Who has ever “mastered” the English language?
English is not static, new words are added to dictionaries every year. As Noah Webster stated “the English language is an ever-changing tapestry”. Large teams of lexicographers, associate editors and editors are required to publish a dictionary. If anyone has “mastered” English, why are so many people required to publish a dictionary?

This extreme mandate to “master” English is the exact academic pressure that Krashen identifies as inhibiting 2nd language acquisition. (Krashen, Stephen (1981) When this academic pressure is removed, Chinese learners of English build self-confidence, intrinsic motivation, self-discipline and develop autonomous learning skills, (Qiang, Wolff, Teng 2009) and then go on to produce comprehensible English, but not perfect English.

CCTV-9 (International English) employs Chinese presenters who have been abroad for many years, some as long as 20, living in an English speaking environment. Their English is not native like. A rather common instance of Chinglish is when the Chinese interviewer asks a guest “How do you think about ….?” instead of “What do you think about ….?” It is impossible for a native Putonghua speaker to “master” English and speak like a native English speaker due to the influence of the mother tongue, Putonghua.

This mandate to “master” English establishes a very high bar that tends to discourage rather than motivate.

Second lie: You can only make your English better by speaking with a native speaker

What probably began as propaganda, supporting the creation of job opportunities for British citizens to teach English in China, has become engrained in the fabric of the English learning mentality of China. Chinese people believe that the only way to make their English better is to communicate with native English speakers.

Through the legal employment process, China employs in excess of 150,000 native English speakers to teach English beginning in kindergarten and continuing through post grad study. It is rumored that another 100,000 native English speakers teach without the legally required permits.

Consider a representative university oral English class taught by a native speaker: (Qiang, Wolff, Teng 2009) on average, a class of 40 students for 90 minutes every two weeks. If every student speaks, they will have a maximum of 2 minutes each to speak at the foreign teacher. There is no time for any dialogue. Many foreign teachers resort to pair or small group work to facilitate more oral communication. But this is L2 sharpening L2, just like steel sharpening steel. So long as the class is taught by a foreign native speaker, the Chinese simply do not see the paradox.

After viewing the Hollywood blockbuster “The Terminal,” Chinese learners of English have a solid understanding of the basic principles of 2nd language acquisition and soundly reject the notion that they can only make their English better by speaking with a native English speaker. (Wong, Wolff, Qiang 2009)

Third lie: Chinglish is no good

Chinglish and Chinese English are distinguishable (Jiang Yajun, 1995) but both are discouraged as inappropriate.

Every Country that adopts English as its official or unofficial L2 creates its own variant of spoken English.

Anglish ('purified' English); Benglish (Bengali English); Chinglish (Chinese English); Czenglish (Czech English); Danglish (Danish English); Dunglish (Dutch English); Engrish (Japanese English); Finglish (Finnish English); Franglais (French English); Denglisch/Germlish/Genglish/Ginglish/Germish/Pseudo-Anglicism (German English); Hebrish (Hebrew English) - also sometimes used to refer to English written with Hebrew characters; Hunglish (Hungarian English); Italgish (Italian English); Japlish (Japanese English); Konglish (South Korean English); Poglish (Polish English); Porglish (Portuguese English); Punglish (Punjabi English); Rominglish/Romglish (Romanian English); Runglish (Russian English); Serblish (Serbian English); Singlish (Singapore English, multiple varieties); Spanglish (Spanish English); Swanglish/Kiswanglish (Swahili English); Swenglish (Swedish English); Taglish (Tagalog English); Tinglish/Thailish (Thai English); Vinish (Vietnamese English); Wenglish (Welsh English); Yeshivish (Yeshiva English)

China, with its 1.3 billion plus people, has every right to develop a variant of English influenced by its native Putonghua (Holm and Dodd 1986) and manageable by its population. The objective should be effective communication in the international language of commerce, not blind adherence to some ideal of perfection or pure British English, whatever that is.

Granted, some professions demand a higher degree of English such as interpreters, translators, industrial and political spies, international lawyers, international accountants and scientists cooperating on international projects. But the average Chinese business person or common citizen has no demonstrable need for anything more than Chinglish.

Fourth lie: Everyone in China needs to learn English

Everyone from kindergarten through postgraduates study English. Most Chinese university (non-English major) graduates know more about the English language than most American university (English major) graduates.

Chinese students study the rules of construction and memorize vast lists of words and set phrases but they do not learn the language or acquire the language. They have enough knowledge about English to pass the Chinese National proficiency examinations but they cannot produce comprehensible oral or written English. (Jun Lu Nov. 2005)

The English curriculum is driven by the composition and nature of the National examinations. (Jun Lu Nov. 2005) The curriculum is designed to teach the students all about the English language but not to learn or acquire it.

It would be far more intellectually honest for China to claim that everyone must study English because the current test oriented curriculum and teaching methodology puts learning and acquisition beyond reach.

China needs to firmly grasp the difference between study, learn and acquire. They require different teaching methodologies and obtain vastly different results.

Effects of debunking the four great lies

During the spring 2009 semester at Sun Yat-sen University the 4 Great Lies were explained to 600 post graduate (humanities) students1 in the new Holistic English course (this replaced the traditional oral English course), but were not explained to 84 post graduate (humanities) students in the traditional oral English course. The following graphs clearly demonstrate that when the burden and pressure induced by the 4 Great Lies is lifted from the students, there is a demonstrable benefit to the students in the areas of self-confidence, intrinsic motivation, self-discipline, creative thinking and autonomous learning skills.

During the fall 2009 semester at Sun Yat-sen University the 4 Great Lies were explained to 700 post graduate (science) students2 in the new Holistic English course (this replaced the traditional oral English course), but were not explained to 165 post graduate (science) students in the traditional oral English course. The following graphs clearly demonstrate that when the burden and pressure induced by the 4 Great Lies is lifted from the students, there is a demonstrable benefit to the students in the areas of self-confidence, intrinsic motivation, self-discipline, creative thinking and autonomous learning skills.

What students are saying

The fall 2009 700 post-graduate students (all of whom have passed CET 6) at one of China’s top ten universities, representing 195 undergraduate colleges and universities from every Province of China read a draft of this article and made their opinions known at http://chinaholisticenglish.com The following are some representative students comments:

“Steel sharpens steel.” I like this idiom and I like Chinglish. I have been always told to do as the “four great lies” says since I began to study English. They are the basic rules for studying. But now they turn out to be lies. It is because the standards we neglect the true nature in studying English, that we become shy and afraid of speaking English not build self-confidence, intrinsic motivation and self-discipline. So get rid of these lies and do the right from now, as the going says: better later than never.

I’m terribly grateful to you for telling us the four great lies of English learning in China. In my experience to learn English, there are some mistakes such as grammar study, words study, learning only formal textbook English. I just rely on schools, never be motivated, and think my oral English is so substandard that I don’t want to speak more. After I read the article, I become more positive and optimistic. I will manage my emotions again and remain motivated and energetic. So, thanks a lot for you guidance.

I do agree that the four great lies definitely exist and have been hindering Chinese students’ English learning. Why do students need perfect English? What is that for and how can it be possible? Isn’t it strange that students have to keep all the set meaning of all phrases and words in mind just to pass tests but seldom use it in their life? I believe good English comes from people’s interest, practical needs and practice in daily life, not from compulsory boring tests.

I have heard the 4 lies first time in the early time of this term. The four ideas were told to us for many years. Not until now they became lies. There are always a simple standard for us to study English. So we learn English to catch the line and we forget that English is a language for communication. That’s why we can remember much vocabulary but can’t talk them easily. English is a language that we need to practice. It’s not a dead, unchangeable standard that everyone should obey to, but a vivid tool makes us understand the hold world easily.

After reading the article, I have a deep impression. When I studied in the senior middle school, I had only one goal about learning English, it was getting high marks. I have only one approach which was looking and memorizing the words through the dictionary and the words book which I bought from the store too. I never want to speak it out, because I faced the bar of college entrance examination. English teachers trained us through asking us doing the English examination against the entrance examination to the university again and again. We become a machine. At that time we just feel English is hard, and it is too hard to achieve high scores. So I agree with most views of this article, I hope that China can put the English reform into practice.

After reading the article, I have a very fresh and comfortable feeling, just like a breeze blowing over my face. The four great lies are just what are deeply in my mind. The circumstance we live in nearly turn the lies into the truths. I agree with this article in these points as following: 1. Language is just a tool, it should not be mastered, just be used. 2. English is not the language of someone or one country. It is just one of the languages in the world. It originated from England, but it has been popularized with the discovery of America, and so on. And it has evolved into different kinds, such as British English and American English. So we have our own English. 3. We can communicate with Chinese people just in a different language. Communication is the most important thing. 4. English is just a tool. If you think it is necessary, just learn it. If not, just have a rest.

This article indeed changes my perspective toward English learning. Sometimes I really feel that my oral English is so substandard that I don’t want to speak more. After reading this paper, I decide to speak more English though it may be substandard. Chinglish is also understandable!

Lies or truths? It is a question for us to think! To be frank it is the first time that I hear that “YOU MUST MASTER ENGLISH” is a lie! ”YOU CAN ONLY MAKE YOUR ENGLISH BETTER BY SPEAKING WITH A NATIVE SPEAKER” is a lie! ”CHINGLISH IS NO GOOD” is a lie! ” EVERYONE IN CHINA NEEDS TO LEARN ENGLISH” is also a lie! How shocked I am by the 4 lies! Because I think the 4 lies are truths for so many years and everyone I know just believe them and do following them. Indeed, we need to change our attitude towards learning English. A student that has learned English for more than 10 years can still not to speaking it .What a shame! It is time for us to change!

Jane Class 8
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
“SECOND LIE – YOU CAN ONLY MAKE YOUR ENGLISH BETTER BY SPEAKING WITH A NATIVE SPEAKER.“ ”THIRD LIE – CHINGLISH IS NO GOOD”. In the four lies, I have more deep feelings about these two.
I have studied English for 13 years before my postgraduate. But I had never communicated with others in English seriously. Even when I was doing an English presentation I was only echoing what my papers was saying. Real change began from this semester of holistic English. In this class, several Chinese students communicate with Chinglish. No one make fun of someone else, and everyone just try to do their best. I feel that through practice of this period, I am really improving. This morning, I met one tour groups from Japan in the library. An old man asked me in English: “Can you speak English?” Two months ago, I would say: “A little.” But now I said to him straightforward: “Yes, I can! “.Then I answered two questions in English. As I walked out of the library, I felt proud and elated. Who gave me the courage to speak? I think that is the holistic English class and Professor Martin. I think, one more important purpose to learn a language it to communicate other than to pass the CET-4 or 6. And as long as we can be understood by others, Chinglish is also nothing wrong. In addition, NATIVE SPEAKERS are not the only helpers. As long as we are willing to help each other, we can improve by ourselves.

Conclusion

No matter how well intentioned the 4 Great Lies may have originally been as extrinsic motivators, Chinese university students laboring under the heavy burdens imposed by these false premises neither learn nor acquire English and graduate functionally illiterate, in that they are unable to produce comprehensible English. Many students find the bar too high and simply give up. For those that continue on in earnest, they eventually confront the frustration of functional illiteracy and wonder why they wasted 16 years learning (sic) English.

I found it frustrated to learn English because of the first lie. I thought it useless to speak English with my friends because of the second lie. I barely spoke in front of the public because of the third lie. In this way I realized that my English improved little in return to my effort. But I have to keep on studying English because of the fourth lie. ….

The 4 great lies inhibit 2nd language acquisition and are a poor substitute for a lack of good 2nd language pedagogy and methodology.
