Abstract

This short foreword discusses the background to this special issue, which began as a colloquium in De La Salle University in November 2001. Various tensions related to the ideological and political background to English in the Philippines are represented in this special issue, including those concerning bilingual education versus vernacular education (Bernardo); linguistic imperialism and neocolonialism (Tupas); and exonormative versus endonormative standards in English language education (Bautista, Bolton and Butler, and Tayao). Some contributions are more descriptive in orientation (Gonzalez, Dayag and McFarland), while other papers deal with Philippine English literary studies (Martin, McMahon, Hidalgo, Abad, Manlapaz, and Dumdum, Mo, and Mojares). Bautista’s bibliography of literature on Philippine English is intended to provide a guide to the academic literature for those engaged in research on this topic. © 2004 Wiley. All rights reserved.
