abstract = "By examining the history and the current status of using English in China, this chapter argues that English has undergone several stages of evelopment and is on its way to becoming a dynamic nativized variety of English. In addition, this chapter discusses issues crucial to the continuous development of Chinese English in the future, notably, the on-going codification of Chinese-specific features, the distinction between linguistic innovations and errors, and the importance of incorporating a nativized model in the current ELT curriculum in China.",
