Opis

This book elucidates the factor that enhances women empowerment through English language learning. Empowerment is observed to assist people with low status increasing the power and influence to enhance prosperity, prestige, and dignity. Although various mechanisms foster women empowerment, our research demonstrated the specific phenomenon of the English language learning whether it contributes to empowering the women as a whole as English proficiency has a prolific impact or constraint to women empowerment because of a large number of women failing to succeed in the workplace due to lack of competence. Besides this, several studies argued that the English could be the constraints to women empowerment as it is viewed as "killer Language." It is to be claimed that the English language could be the intimidation to their mother langue that might lose their language if the concentrate on English language learning. Surprisingly it is even viewed at the colonial aspects of English learning in a negative way which could overwhelm local language instead of promoting women empowerment.
