Does the switch of medium of instruction facilitate the language learning of students? A case study of Hong Kong from teachers’ perspective / Angela Choi Fung Tam
// Language and education 2011, Vol25, N.5 2011p. 399-417 The medium of instruction (MOI) and its impact on improving the language proficiency of students has become a debated issue worldwide. The policy-makers of post-colonial Hong Kong believed that the general Chinese competency, Chinese writing and Pu¬tonghua proficiency of students would be improved through the use of a Putonghua- medium-of-instruction (PMI) rather than the Cantonese medium, the mother tongue of students and teachers. Therefore, using Putonghua to teach the Chinese language has been promulgated as a long-term goal by the Curriculum Development Council. Early studies have placed an emphasis on using standardized tests to assess students’ learning outcomes with the use of PMI, but unfortunately the findings have been inconclusive. Despite teachers’ involvement in implementing the MOI policy, there is a dearth of stud¬ies examining the perspective of teachers regarding the language learning of students under PMI. This paper aims to explore this important issue in greater depth through a case study of a high school, which has implemented PMI to teach the Chinese language for 10 years. The findings indicate that there are mismatches between the stated educa¬tional policy intentions and the language learning of students in various aspects. Further studies and follow-up measures on the language policy and education are suggested

Parents as agents of multilingual education: family language planning in China / Xiao Lan Curdt-Christiansen.
// Language, Culture and Curriculum Volume 31, 2018 - Issue 3 2018p. 235-254 As a linguistically heterogeneous nation, China has 290 languages and nearly 2000 distinct fangyans (dialects or subdialects) with Putonghua as the national language. These languages and language varieties are hierarchically ranked, based on their wider communicative and socioeconomic values. This paper reports on how Putonghua, fangyans, and English are perceived by a group of Chinese middle-class parents and how parents as agents of language policy provide affordances and constraints in facilitating or limiting their children’s language development in English, Putonghua and fangyans. The study involves eight Chinese city-dwelling families with children aged 5–11 years. By examining the children’s family language audits, observing their language/literacy practices, and engaging in conversation about parental language ideologies, the study aims to understand how public discourse about different languages or fangyans and their perceived values shape parental involvement in their children’s language development. The results of the study suggest that parents as agents of decision making have a strong influence on the changes of linguistic ecology in China in urban contexts.

北京高校大学生语言文明状况调查研究 = A Survey on the Situation of Language Civility among College Students in Beijing / 张焕香; 李卫红.
// Applied linguistics. 2013, No.3. 2013.8-16 p. Based on the four aspects of language civility(foul language use,Putonghua popularization,foreign language and native language learning,catch phrases use),a questionnaire is designed and carried out among 325 subjects chosen by means of stratified sampling to explore the situation of language civility among college students in Beijing.The findings show that college students in Beijing often use Putonghua in their learning and daily life,but they are weak in their awareness of language civility and most of them have the experience of speaking foul language.Meanwhile,they put more emphasis on English learning than Chinese learning.As a result,the suggestions are put forward that colleges should improve students’awareness of language civility and their Chinese culture consciousness to construct a harmonious language environment.
