Although the study has attempted to provide a detailed study in language

ideology of English, there are limitations that need be worked on in future research to generalize better developed conclusions.
First, only residents in Taipei city and New Taipei city were recruited in the study. As already mentioned in Chapter 3, the geographical confinement is at risk of yielding a biased analysis. Regional demography may differ remarkably with one another. Consequently, if regional differences are taken into consideration and interviewees in different regions are recruited, the finding would be more representative.
Furthermore, the numbers of interviewees in each social category, including proficiency, age, gender, and education levels, are imbalanced. Therefore, the imbalanced number of interviews somehow prevents a well-developed and objective account the study could only claim to provide a tentative analysis of language ideology of English.
Moreover, though it has been emphasized repeatedly throughout the study that interview data are interactional, it is not the most ideal way of data collection in studies aimed at looking into English use and more metalinguistic information such as language attitudes and the focus of the study, language ideology. An unsolved problem of interviews is that it is always unknown if interviewees do behave in the ways they reported. Naturally occurring utterances in daily conversation are better resource of data in investigating language use and language ideology.
These limitations do not come across tangible solutions in the present study for restrictions of time, labor, and finance. More lights would be definitely shed on the issues investigated when these directions are taken into consideration in future research.
