The ROC Administration has formulated the "Challenge 2008: The Six-year National Development Plan." Among the ten major areas of emphasis, "Cultivate Talent for the E-generation" is the first goal. Recognizing that English serves as an index of competitiveness and has helped Singapore to gain an edge, President Chen proposed designating English as Taiwan's second official language. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the language policy and English education implemented in post-colonial Singapore. This paper will address these issues in terms of sociolinguistics, bilingual policy, and English education. It is hoped that this research will help inspire further efforts to promote the English ability of the public here in Taiwan.
