Besides this, several studies argued that the English could be the constraints to women empowerment as it is viewed as “killer Language.” It is to be claimed that the English language could be the intimidation to their mother langue that might lose their language if the concentrate on English language learning. Surprisingly it is even viewed at the colonial aspects of English learning in a negative way which could overwhelm local language instead of promoting women empowerment.
