Sociopolitical and socio-economic dimensions of control are implemented through language hegemony in countries of the Third World. Edward Said and Antonio Gramsci's models are used to describe the English language situation in Pakistan, especially during the period of the Afghan war (1977-88), when the country was the recipient of massive foreign aid. The role of the 'foreign funding agencies' in the expansion of ELT programs is a significant aspect of 'linguistic imperialism'. A theory of education and materials design is proposed using the indigenous, grassroots literary and oral tradition
