Abstract

In this article, we discuss some of the main policies of the People’s Republic of China that guide the teaching of foreign languages in China. The documents used in our review are laws, guidelines, national teaching standards and academic publications that relate directly and indirectly to the promotion of language policies for foreign language teaching in China. Based on the recognition of the webs of relationships between the different operational levels of language planning, we will discuss whether these relationships can guide or build a common planning for the training of language specialists and translators in a post-pandemic context. To contextualize, we will take as an example the success of the Macau Special Administrative Region in solving the challenges of foreign language teaching in tertiary institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Finally, yet importantly, we will open a debate on the actions that urge to propose a common agenda for a global language planning in a post-pandemic world with new geopolitical changes and challenges.
