This book attempts to define English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and globalization based on the
literature and highlighting its major facets. Discussing the spread of English and motives for
this kind of spread the book outlines some of the impacts the language has had on different
societies cultures and the kind of reactions this language has generated among different
cultures. The spread of the English language can't be fully understood without the hegemonic
nature of English. Yet this book claims that despite the hegemonic nature of English it is
still badly needed in the Arab world for the purpose of communicating with the world education
acquiring technology and development at large. To teach English as such it is necessary to
change the traditional methods of instruction. It is important to solidify teaching of the
native language empower the learners to have more self-confidence through learning English
teach the language as a foreign rather than second language and make changes in the
curriculum in response to the needs of the learners and society.
