2005年3月14日下午，春光明媚，来自香港浸会大学的洪同年教授应浙江大学跨文化交际研究所的邀请，在浙江大学紫金港校区东六227教室成功地作了一场题为“English as a Global Language”的学术报告。
洪同年教授作为香港浸会大学语文中心主任(Director of Language Centre)，主要从事世界英语、音韵学以及英语教学（语法和发音方面）的研究和教学工作，学术成果丰硕。他共出版了八部书和发表了三十多篇论文。最新著作于2004年由香港大学出版社出版。
洪教授的报告别开生面、内容丰富、形象生动，再加上题材新颖、视角独特，吸引了许多不同研究所、院系的师生。这其中不仅有跨文化研究所的教师，更有来自外语学院以及其他院系的教师、研究生和本科生。全场座无虚席，甚至走廊里都站满了人。
在报告会上，气氛热烈。洪教授首先向大家介绍了他的观点。他用详实的数据、生动的例子以及严密的论证阐述了自己的观点：１）．在20世纪下半叶，出现了诸如印度英语、新加坡英语、马来西亚英语等带有明显地域口音的“新英语”，２１世纪的英语是一门世界语言，变化是她的本质；２）．什么才是实用的语音教学方法。接着洪教授举出一系列现实生活中大家熟悉的不同地域的人们发音的例子，并加以对比，引起了听众们的浓厚兴趣，大家都积极地参与其中，这充分体现出了英语作为世界语言的活力和魅力。
报告结束后，洪教授还认真细致地对大家提出的问题耐心地一一作了解答。他的精彩报告获得了在座师生的一致好评，很多师生都觉得获益非浅。
A lecture on English As A Global Language
On the afternoon of March 14, 2005, at the invitation of the Cross-Culture Communication Research Centre at Zhejiang University, Professor Tony T.N. Hung, Head of the Language Centre at the HongKong Baptist University, successfully delivered us a lecture entitled “English As A Global Language” at Room 227, Classroom Building East 6 on Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University. His interesting and knowledgeable lecture was warmly welcomed by many teachers and students who are from different institutes and departments.
Pro. Hung’s lecture is a vivid and interesting lecture, covering from comprehensive analysis of English as a global language in second half of 20th century to a pragmatic approach to the teaching of English pronunciation. It’s of great help to us in learning English as a second language, especially the vowel contrasts ( in Chinese English). With the help of those animated graphs, Pro. Hung unfolded before our eyes an unique and new vision of English as a global language. He offered some supportive evidence and illustrative examples to make his points clear and convincing: 1) English in the 21st century is no longer the exclusive property of Britain or U.S.A. or any single group of countries or speakers. It is a global language and therefore variety is its very essence. 2) English learners everywhere will always speak English with an identifiable local accent, a modern approach to the teaching of pronunciation will need to be pragmatic rather than purist. What he pointed out interested the audience greatly and aroused their enthusiasm for pronunciation, so they took an active part in practicing those vowels.
After the lecture, Pro. Hung answered the questions which were put forward by those earnest teachers and students. His wonderful lecture was thought highly by the audience present.
Professor Hung’s current research involves English as a global language, phonology and the application of linguistics to language teaching (particularly the teaching of grammar and pronunciation). His work is quite fruitful and he has 8 books and more than 30 thesis published.
