摘　　要：随着亚洲崛起,世界权力中心正逐渐向亚太地区转移。这一世界格局变化导致了亚洲英语语境的变化,进而推动了亚洲英语教育范式的转变。本文剖析了亚洲传统英语教育范式在新时期面临的挑战和难以克服的困境,指出亚洲英语教育范式亟须转变,即由传统的以"标准英语"为最终目标的EFL(英语作为外语)/ESL(英语作为第二语言)范式转向新的EAL(英语作为亚洲语言)范式。文章还分析了英语作为亚洲语言教育范式的可行性,并阐明了这一新范式的重要意义。With the rise of Asia, the global power center is gradually shifting from the West to the East. The power shift also brings about changes in the English language context in Asia, which involves a necessary English education paradigm shift. This paper gives an analysis of some challenges and difficulties faced by the traditional English educa- tion paradigm in Asia. It argues that it＇s time to shift the traditional EFL （English as a foreign language）/ESL （Eng- lish as a second language） paradigm, which takes the so-called ＂standard English＂ as the goal, to the new EAL （ English as an Asian language） paradigm. The paper further discusses the feasibility of the EAL paradigm, and high- lights in particular the significance of the new paradigm.
