Abstract | Due to the fact of the transformation of the Dominican economy, jumping from a rural, sugar cane exporting-country to a more diverse economy, based in four pillars: The Remittance of US Dollars of Dominicans living in America, the Tourism Industry, the Duty-free Industrial Parks and the Major League Base-ball Players and Academies, it is not difficult to imagine that English has been the language par excellence behind those advancements. Those socio-political facts besides the phenomenon of globalization have had a tremendous impact in popularizing this language with the correspondent academic impact of modernizing and reforming our national curriculum, for both private and public schools, and colleges and universities as well. So, the English language has come a long way in our nation, ranging from the language of a social elite, to a language of mass instruction all over the nation. But the English language had not been the only language that our nation has faced, beginning with the imposition of Spanish over the living population of Tainos during the time of the colonization to suffering the invasion of foreign powers up to recent times, and the subsequent languages interchanges.
