Abstract:	In the history of modern Sudan, the teaching of English plays an important role both in its politics and social implications. During the colonial period it was an instrument of official policy with conflicting intentions and consequences in the different areas of Sudan. Today, the political debate concerning the teaching and use of English continues. The author explores the attitude and policies of the administration, both British and Sudanese, towards the teaching of English, and Britain's continued involvement in the matter. She herself has worked in Sudan for a number of years in the field of Eglish language teaching.
