English language has played a crucial role in maintaining the imbalances and inequalities in employments and wealth opportunities not only in Thailand and elsewhere, but also in the UK and the US. Kumaravadivelu (2003a) claims that these two nations promote job opportunities for their own citizens but limit the opportunities for others by educating them with ―enough English‖ to perform adequately in minimum job-wage. This can be observed through the English language education for non-native speakers provided by these two nations. In the colonial period, Pennycook (as cited in Kumaravadivelu, 2003a) claims that textbooks were designed to give the Indians just adequate English language skills ―to produce clerks to run the colonial system‖ (p. 541). Hence, with such limited language skills, it was almost inconceivable that the Indians would be able to be promoted to a higher position and the chances of having a job in Britain were dramatically slim. This phenomenon seems to prevail in the beginning of the globalization era. Tollefson (1986) reports theoretical and practical problems of English language programs for immigrants provided at US refugee camps in Phanat Nikhom, Thailand; Galang, Indonesia; and Batann, the Philippines before they emigrated to the United States. He makes a very shocking argument that English competencies taught at those camps only ―encourage refugees to consider themselves fortunate to find minimum-wage employment, regardless of their previous education‖ (p. 656). It appeared the US government wanted to ensure that these immigrants will only have enough English to be eligible for ―minimum-wage jobs while avoiding any welfare dependency, yet not enough [language skills] to move beyond these levels of employment‖ (Pennycook, 1989, p. 593).
