Abstract

The wide spread of English has given rise to many new varieties of English; and almost every

country has got some special grammatical or lexical expansion while using the English

language. The dominance of the English language has caused a concern to imperialism.

Cooke (1988) has used the metaphor ‘Trojan horse’ to convey that a country may initially

welcome English language, but its fast growth and spread would cause a danger to the local

language and culture. In fact, there are many researchers who are not in support of the blind

spread of English, and they emphasize that local and ELT teachers should watch out their

steps and teach their students not to learn English at the cost of their local language and

culture.
