Psychosocial Implications of Globalization in the Emergence of Multiple Englishness in the World English language occupies the most dominant place in the comity of languages in the world. English language has attained the role of a link language in the world as it is understood and used extensively by the people belonging to different nations. The global domination and acceptance of this language has resulted in the emergence of multiple Englishes as people in different parts of the world are trying to utilize and bank upon this language for effective communication. Globalization has gone a long way in connecting societies together with the help of modern means of electronic and print media. English language variation and variety is the direct result of' the extensive use of English language in the curricula without the presence of native speakers as teachers. As a result it is difficult to follow and copy the accent and pronunciation. Moreover spelling and pronunciation vary from person to person and region to region. English as a language has come up on the international scenario as an indispensable force which occupies the mental and social domains of human life. It is resulting in the erosion of psychosocial identities of the societies and their rich traditional and political backgrounds. The domination and continued spread of English has further strengthened and consolidated the role of English in the under developed and developing societies which otherwise would have finished in the world after the World Wars in the first half of the twentieth century. Language is a living organism which grows and expands with the passage of time. The spread and growth of English language varieties have helped promote and facilitate the process of globalization as it created the concept of global village and global economic world order which is above colour, caste and creed as the process of globalization has alienated people and ideas from their cultures and societies. There is a tangible transformation of societies as people are not confined to their local identities rather they feel themselves part of world citizenship as they are directly affected by whatever is happening or even likely to happen in the world in any field of life.
