Abstract

Under the background of the English language being “a global language” and “an international language”, research evidence in the field of World Englishes (WE) suggests that there is a variety of attitudes toward an emerging English variety in China named “China English (CE)”. Recent research focused exclusively on in-service English teachers’ and students’ perceptions without paying attention to the pre-service Student Teachers (STs). In addition, the perception was studied in a manner that did not consider the varying acceptance of CE in different pedagogical settings. To fill the research gap and further investigate the underlying reasons for such judgement, this study explores the influence of Student Teacher’s understanding level of CE on their attitudes as well as studies the acceptance of CE in pedagogical settings. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 75 participants and a subsequent interview with 7 participants. The finding indicates STs’ understanding level of CE significantly impacts their attitudes to CE and reveals that acceptance of CE varies across different pedagogical settings.
