摘要：Globalization as a concept has been used both positively and negatively by many different people and in many different contexts. Depending on the point of view, all definitions on globalization state that it has the power of creating a world without boundaries where people communicate, share, and do business with the help of information, communication and transportation technologies. And the medium of all these activities is English language. Therefore, English language curriculum and teachers should be able to help learners to function as successful members in globalized digital-age World. Technological advancements open new areas to use English language as the main medium for communication both for personal and advanced academic needs and these new uses create new challenges for English language teachers to introduce, use, analyze and teach these areas to English as Foreign Language (EFL) students. Where does Turkey stand as a country in this picture? This paper focuses on the effect(s) of globalization on English language teaching (ELT), 21st century skills and English language and current common practice of ELT along with the recent curriculum revision of EFL in Turkey.
