The Economic Dimension
From a historical perspective, Young (2001) states that the primary focus of colonization is not on transposing cultural values. This is just a by-product. He claims that the real objective is to promote the advantage of trade, economic exploitation and settlement. Hence, the three dimensions (scholastic, linguistic, and cultural dimensions) as discussed above ―are linked to a vitally important economic dimension that adds jobs and wealth to the economy of English-speaking countries through a worldwide ELT industry‖ (Kumaravadivelu, 2006, p. 12).
