Denham (1992) observes that ELT is an export commodity making great earnings for the ―the big players … Britain and the USA [while] Canadian, Australian and New Zealand variants are not in the big league‖ (p. 67). On the surface, it seems that these two players ―offer considerable English language teaching assistance [however, it is critical to note that] the export of English language teaching materials is a major income earner‖ (p. 67). Toh (2003) adds a critical point that ―the words ‗assistance‘ and ‗export‘ are at once uttered in the same breath‖ (p. 554). Bhatt (2001) asserts that such assistance has long been exercised through ELT agencies of ―linguistic coercion‖ (p. 532) such as the British Council and TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) organizations which perpetuate linguistic imperialism in nonnative countries around the globe.
