The use of the English language by people is common in all parts of the world. Nowadays, many people are interested in reading and speaking English. According to Hung (2009), the world needed a common language in the late 19th century to communicate and they believed that this common language should be one of the natural languages ​​existing at that time. Thus, among other languages, English seemed to be more suitable as a global language (Hung, 2009). Since English became the language of diplomacy, books, medicine, airports, science, sports and technology, it has acquired hegemony over other languages. (Gaffey, 2005). Even though people use English a lot in their daily lives these days, some non-English speakers believe that speaking English can destroy their own language. Although some studies suggest that English spread naturally and harmed no one, ample evidence shows that the spread of English was driven by some Western countries and created linguistic imperialism that affected the culture, identity and language of non-English speakers. There is some evidence to suggest that English spread naturally around the world and as a result it is now a "lingua franca", the common language that everyone knows. English has made our lives easier in many ways. Because the world needed a global language, it spread naturally throughout the world. According to Hung (2009), the English language does not harm other languages. It states that English joined the global community and introduced its culture and national identification to all people living on Earth. According to him, the English language helps people in the age of communication with...... middle of paper...... rialism which is beneficial for some Western countries but is very harmful for others. others. This harms the culture, language and identity of a country. Those who can speak English view those who cannot at a lower level. You especially have to learn English in countries like India and Pakistan, otherwise people will make fun of them. There is an Indian film called "English Vinglish" which encourages people that if you don't know English it's okay and we shouldn't make fun of anyone. References Gaffey, E. (2005).
