‘Common intermediate language’ is a term borrowed from computer science, which refers to the language of an abstract machine designed to assist in the analysis of computer programming. The term comes from their use in compilers, where a compiler first translates the source code of a program into a form more suitable for code-improving transformations, as an intermediate step before generating object or machine code for a target machine (Wikipedia, 2020). In this book, common intermediate language refers to the current developing status of China English between students’ interlanguage and a recognized new variety of English.

They refer to the norms advocated in the movement to build socialist ethics in the 1980s. The ‘five emphases’ refer to an emphasis on civility, courtesy, hygiene, orderliness, and morality. The ‘four beauties’ refer to the beauty of soul, speech, behavior, and environment.

The two structures most commonly cited are the traditional four-part ‘qi-cheng-zhuan-he’ structure (beginning-continuing-transition-summary) and ‘ba gu wen’, the so-called eight-legged essay of the Chinese imperial civil service exams (Scollon, Scollon, & Kirkpatrick, 2000).

There are, however, some other studies (e.g., Kirkpatrick, 1995a, 1997) arguing that the traditional Chinese styles have little influence upon contemporary mainland Chinese writing styles, especially the expositive writing; and that the way the mainland Chinese students having been taught to write in Chinese has no negative influence on the way they write in English.

The workload for NETs and LETs are about the same (16–20 teaching hours per week); but the salary for the former ranges from RMB 2, 917 to 5, 029 (US$ 365–629) per month, which is much higher than that for the latter, from RMB 813 to 2, 342 (US$ 101–284) (Joen & Lee, 2006).
