This dissertation investigates the impact of the CET-4/6 (College English Test Band Four/Six) on College English education at one university in China. It aims to explore the social contexts where CET-4/6 was initiated, used as a de facto language policy, and later dropped at this university, and investigate the impacts of CET-4/6 as a de facto language policy on College English teaching and learning. The research is guided by theories of the Macroacquisition of English (Brutt-Griffler, 2002, 2017) and test as de facto language policy (Shohamy, 2001). While the former provides an explanatory sociohistorical and policy framework to study the evolution and trends in English education in China, the latter offers an assessment perspective to reconsider the role CET-4/6 has been playing both in educational and social domains. This research uses a qualitative approach with multiple data collection methods. Using one university context as a case study, it analyzes data from questionnaire surveys, non-participant class observations, and interviews. Specifically, it studies the perspectives of College English Department faculty members, English training institute teachers, and non-English-major college students. To provide a broader context for the study, this research also incorporates data from interviews with national policymakers and university administrators, historical documents, media reports, and online resources. Data are analyzed through the constant-comparative method (Glaser, 1965), where themes, concepts, and patterns are identified (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The findings indicate that the initiation of CET-4/6, the use of CET-4/6 as a de facto language policy, and the drop of this policy are aligned with the general trend in English education in China. The impact of the change of policy on College English education is limited, and CET-4/6 has become a default option for college students and a part of college life. English learning has evolved from a government campaign into a conscious act taken by individuals to achieve specific goals, during which mutual influence within distinct speech communities is playing out and exerts an ever more significant role.This study draws a comprehensive picture of the history of CET-4/6 and English education in China. The findings could be used by policymakers, university administrators, English educators, and English learners to use as a reference to make College English education more efficient, and to address challenges that College English education is facing in the 21st century.
