With Foucault’s discourse theory and the theory of disciplinary power, the article points out China’s Standard of English (CSE) recently issued by National Language Committee is the new, precise and elegant technology of power based on a complete knowledge system in China’s foreign language education field. CSE discourse produces the normalized individuals suitable for social development from the dimension of space, time and corporeal mechanism of discourse power. The adoption of poststructural paradigm and deconstructive discourse analysis strategies is intended to shed light both on the transfer of research paradigm in English educational research and research on educational discourse.
