概要

論文の詳細を見る
Owing to the designation of English as the only official Language of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) since its foundation, the usage of English in Asia has come under study recently. Singapore, a member of ASEAN, has established the Regional Language Center(RLC), which is attached to the South East Asian Ministers of Education (SEAMEO). The RLC has been remarkably successful in its efforts at setting language policy as the leader in English education. However, Singapore is worried about "Singlish"-a variety of English with distinctly Singaporean characteristic and not easily comprehensible internationally. This Paper examines "Singlish" and its background to understand how it has been developing. It will also demonstrate some of the measures taken by the government of Singapore in dealing with this issue. It is necessary to reconsider English education for non-native speakers as an international language.
