Abstract

“A definition of language,” viewed the British cultural critic, Raymond Williams, “is always, implicitly or explicitly, a definition of human beings in the world” (1977, p. 21). (cited in Kumaravadivelu, 2006).
Languages have two essential features which differentiate it from signals: productivity and structural complexity From the 4,000 to 5,000 languages which are alive, English is by far the most widely used one. Though it doesn’t have an important function in national or social life in some parts of the world it is taught in schools as a foreign language often widely. In Spain, Brazil and Japan, for example, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese are the standard type of communication and instruction: the ordinary citizen does not need English or any other foreign language to live his daily life or even for social or professional development. But it may be seen that the role of English within a nation’s daily life is influenced by geographical, historical, cultural and political factors and the role of English must have an effect on both the way it is taught and the resulting impact on the daily life and personal development. (Broughton, et al. 1980)
