In terms of the three concentric-circle modeled by Kachru (1996), this paper explores the implications of the spread of English in Vietnam nowadays in the field of education, information technology and media. How English has its identity in each domain is in the analysis of the study. Information Technology (IT) is, however quite a new field in Vietnam.The data presented in this paper are based on the interviews with 4 IT technicians. It is hoped that English will soon become a “new medium of communication” (Kachru, 1996, p. 38) in the entire country.
