Abstract
Abstract: In the contemporary era, communication stands as one of the cornerstones of civilization. The pace at which the world evolves, the intersection of cultures, the rise of the global economy, and the advancement of information and technology have all contributed to the need for a common medium for effective understanding and cooperation between peoples. The English language today sits at the heart of globalization, integrally linking societies, empowering individuals, and enabling progress. As the lingua franca of business, science, education, and international diplomacy, learning English has assumed unparalleled importance in the modern world.
