As long as English continues its predominance worldwide, AngloSkilleds (those who have the advantage of English language skills) will have predominance over AngloSkilledNots. In the struggle between AngloSkilleds and AngloSkilledNots, it is always the former group that has an advantage over the latter.

As long as English continues its predominance worldwide, AngloSkilleds (those who have the advantage of English language skills) will have predominance over AngloSkilledNots. In the struggle between AngloSkilleds and AngloSkilledNots, it is always the former group that has an advantage over the latter. It is the responsibility of the policymakers and educationists to address the issue and find an effective solution. It is the responsibility of the teachers to empower the students and enable them to acquire English language. It states the importance of the English language, which is a 'lingua-franca' and a synonym of success in this modern world. The language is quintessential for students' success in academics and later in their career. Lack of proficiency in it not only affects students' academic performance but also hinders their perspective career. Increasing importance of research in higher education and international mobility of students have contributed to the increasing importance of English language education. It is a matter of grave concern that most students having studied the English language for more than a decade cannot express themselves in English. This issue if not addressed, will prepare a generation of 'AngloSkilledNots' who are not equipped with the language skills they need. Therefore, the onus is on policymakers and academicians to address the issue of English language deficiency among the students at all levels of education.

Therefore, the onus is on policymakers and academicians to address the issue of English language deficiency among the students at all levels of education. The expansion of English all over the world is an incredible linguistic phenomenon. English is the only language in history to have nations where it is the native language and to have emerged as a truly global lingua franca. Today English is a lingua franca which brings millions together in a broad range of communicative situations in numerous settings for a wide spectrum of purposes (Björkman, 2013). Millions of people around the globe with different first languages are communicating through the English language as a lingua franca in world forums, in conferences, in business meetings, academic discussions, or sports events, to name a few. In this sense, English has indeed reached a global dimension no other language has come near before. In words of Van Parijs "it is English and English alone that can reasonably claim to have become a global Lingua Franca".
