Abstract

“College English” differs substantially from what used to be known as “Service English”. The evolution of standardized English into global English in the context of globalization calls for a paradigm shift from TEFL to TELF to enable our college students to use English as a lingua franca to communicate their expert knowledge and convey their mother tongue culture so as to be better able to serve the national strategy of our country.
