Abstract

In today’s modern world economy, there is always a competition among countries as a
consequence of globalization. A salient feature of globalization is the adoption of neoliberalism
– a modern contemporary economic ideology. Neoliberalism ideology is spreading fast around
the globe including in South East Asia. The spread and adoption of English as the main medium
of communication in conducting business, trade, commerce and various fields is the direct and
indirect results of the impact of neoliberalism. This ideology has brought about many changes
economically, socially and educationally to these countries. This paper intends to investigate the
impact of neoliberalism especially on English as a medium of instruction in Malaysia, Thailand
and Vietnam. It will focus on the implementation of CEFR which is also directly related to the
adoption of neoliberalism.
