In 2016, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) formally recognized the status of Hong Kong English (HKE) by adding 13 HKE words in its entries (Oxford English Dictionary [OED], n.d.-a). While this codification marks significant progress in the development of a language variety, there have been vigorous discussions within the local community about the legitimacy and representativeness of these selected words as HKE (Xu, 2019). As emphasized by Schneider (2007), acceptability and codification are both important criteria for language development. Therefore, this warrants a bottom-up approach to investigate the extent to which HKE words are accepted by the local community, so as to provide insights on how future HKE words can be better codified.
2016 年，《牛津英语词典》（Oxford English Dictionary，OED）正式承认了香港英语（Hong Kong English，HKE）的地位，在其词条中增加了 13 个香港英语词汇（Oxford English Dictionary [OED]，n.d.-a）。虽然这一编纂标志着一个语言变体的发展取得了重大进展，但本地社区对这些被选词作为香港英语的合法性和代表性进行了激烈的讨论（Xu，2019）。正如 Schneider（2007）所强调的，可接受性和编纂都是语言发展的重要标准。因此，有必要采用自下而上的方法来调查香港教育词汇被当地社区接受的程度，从而为今后如何更好地编纂香港教育词汇提供启示。

While the first decade of the 21st century witnessed an unprecedented level of popularity in English across China, the last ten years have seen a fall in the status of English and a meteoric rise of the importance of the Chinese language and culture in the education system (Feng & Adamson, 2019; Pan & Wang, 2024). The changed status of English was exemplified in the 2017 English curriculum standards (2017 ECS) for senior high school students (aged 16–18). A few years after the implementation of this curriculum, this paper explores how teachers and students perceive the changed status of English as prescribed in the 2017 ECS, and what this means for the role of English as a ‘global language’ in China.
