Abstract
Having as a basis the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis, this critical discussion will revolve around how our identity is established through our languages. We will discuss how the digital world’s lingua franca, western English, promotes the western way of thinking and being. Our discussion will also focus on why language teachers and learners need to be aware of the implications of the indiscriminate, uncritical use of the digital media to promote learning English as a second language.
