Abstract
Before the inception of imperialism of the American, the British had incessantly colonized, most of the impoverished nations. Despite the invincible atrocities monopoly, English gradually emerged as a common medium of communication. In the 21st century, we have seen the widespread growth of English medium schools in our country, whereby the English is taught as First language. This evidently signifies the preference of English over one’s own mother tongue and also the dialect. In regard to the consciousness of these prevalent culture and social heritage, this often arouses controversies. As a result many people could not differentiate between the native language and foreign language form of English and often one get more preference than other in wrong environment. However, as it is an undeniable fact that English is a globally accepted language, so we should understand the difference between English first language and English second language and the importance of both of them.
