Abstract: As the emergence of world Englishes, an uncertain content standard for nativized English language teaching (ELT) model primarily requires a more comprehensive understanding of linguistic features of China English (LFCE) to facilitate the appropriateness of the application in the classrooms. Previous studies were broad in scope, primarily focusing on the definition and attitude regarding China English (CE) and partial LFCE (Mahboob & Liang, 2014; Xu, 2017). Therefore, this systematic review study thoroughly analyzed the current status and diachronic trend in this this field by analyzing 44 included studies published from 2003 to 2023 and identified the unexplored areas to be bridged for the future research direction. Seven major research parameters to construct an analytical framework were identified: published time, geographic distribution, publication outlets, indexing databases, research methods, data analysis methods, and research themes. The findings revealed that LFCE studies demonstrated distinctive distribution patterns and chronological trends, which served as useful evidences and reference to develop valuable studies on nativized English teaching model in China.
