| Summary: | In recent years, with the development of education and the continuous introduction of new curriculum reforms in China, the subject of English has occupied an increasingly important position in the education and instruction of colleges and universities. There are thousands of ethnic Chinese Students (CE) from very different backgrounds. The present paper explores a study of CS with a particular interest in morphosyntactic features. This dissertation also reviews recent literature on CE and its contribution to the Expanding Circle of English. The study focuses on the usage of English amongst postgraduate international students from China at the Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The data are collected through face-to-face and audio-call unstructured interviews and regular communication using online messaging apps. During interviews, participants are asked undesigned questions. The data have been closely analysed to determine its morphosyntactic features and shed light on Vivian Cook's multicompetence theory. The reasons behind these features' formation are discussed from five aspects 1) teaching material and teaching method, 2) Teacher’s competence, 3) the absence of systematic learning, 4) Education environment 5) First language interference, based on the analysis and discussion. Limitations and recommendations for future research are discussed. Pedagogy implications are given by the research findings.
