and their culture. Exclude people with fewer resources.

Adaptations of English creates new varieties of that language, and

it demands that people be able to understand and adapt to diverse
world Englishes or dialects.

People are subjected to homogenize their identities and interests.

We as English teachers have the responsible to contribute to the
globalization process with teaching English as a Foreign Language in our
country.
To carry out class activities through which we can
teach to students to value their ideas, their customs,
and their culture.

CONCLUSION

Globalization not only allows to languages and cultures to

spread and dominate on a global scale, it also leads to the
extinction of other languages and cultures.
Language contributes to the formation of intercultural
relationships.
Teachers need to continue working hard on their own
language learning, keep update with teaching technologies,
and reflect on how their own teaching method is working
and how it can be optimized.
