Language is one of the most invaluable possessions of mankind. ‘With the help of language only an individual is able to communicate with others leading towards solving a number of problems and accomplishing tasks. Without a language no educational activity including research would have ever been possible. That is why it is very essential for every human being to learn and use a language. (retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org)

Language can be defined i many ways. It may be viewed as a set of habits to express one’s thoughts and feelings. So it is all about the importance and role of language in the life of all human being but at the same time we all are aware that there are thousands of languages dealing with all human beings of the world. So there is a need of such a language which have the potential of connectedness all over the world so that people can communicate, deliver and disseminate our ideas, thought to other people, can able to solve their problem, can make achievement in various fields and flourish in the educational field at the same time. There is no doubt left about the importance of English language that it has become the language of this global world. It is the facilitator of international contacts, employment opportunities and has opened the gates of western science and technology for the whole world. (Kilgour, David, 1999.)
