It also presents a systematic sociolinguistic analysis of ideologies of Global English by focusing on production and reproduction of language ideologies and dialectics between a global language and a local context.

Second, it presents a creditable methodology by incorporating research methods from different traditions. Third, it suggests a baseline for future language planning and policies in South Korea.
