Globalization and information technology has its own 
impact on teaching of English in India; this study is 
based on examining and observations on the same. 
Also in-depth meaning and definition of globalization 
on society and its environs will be understood. 
In present scenario, the paper also reflects English 
language as the universal currency to be used across 
the globe for communication, Focus here moves 
moving to the changes coupled with English 
language teaching. In this context, a facets of English 
language, and its characteristics may be discussed 
along with the language of technology 
The language abounds with variation, if it is natural. 
Variation is the life-line of any living language. This 
is also a very crucial and intensified character. Here, 
variety gives strength, and adds richness. 
Unfortunately, the features of variation itself are an 
obstacle for the growth of information technology. 
Much-desired goal here is Uniformity. There is a 
danger when natural languages absorb technology 
creates ripples across, and is a major threat. They 
tend to be more standardized, qualitative, or 
homogenized because the technology becomes easier 
and accessible only with standardization. Moreover, 
technology at times finds it tough to capture all the 
intricacies of a linguistic expression and convention, 
and opts for things that may not really reflect what 
the user wants to communicate. To cite one such 
example, spelling variation is one of the major and 
natural corpuses of the language. 
As of today, the Indian language technology has 
failed to catch up with the fast developing 
technology. In formal curriculum, the emphasis of 
teaching English was on using English literature. 
Many languages were making faster strides and some 
were limping and fading away. At this juncture, 
technology came in and hampered their continued 
all-round and total development. It is a paradox, but it 
is true. While this approach may not have really 
helped learning English for day-to-day purposes, 
there was no doubt that it helped broaden the 
perspective of the students. But now the emphasis 
and scenario has changed. Our focus is only on 
communicational purposes. A similar trend is set for 
the teaching of English with the help of Information 
Technology is the highlight of this research paper. . 
The default language of Internet is English it gets 
diffused in the Indian society now with greater speed. 
Communicating content and messages it is used in a 
different way. A new genre of Internet English, new 
form of English is fast developing on-line. Present 
day students are learning and using this English. Can 
we think of any other Indian language, as the 
language of Internet, the way English is today? It 
may take a long time for such a new genre to be 
created.
