The widespread use of English as a second language (ESL) underscores its crucial role in facilitating global communication, education, and business. As globalization expands, more people from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds are learning English to tap into worldwide opportunities. This has prompted major changes in educational systems around the globe, with many countries introducing English into their curricula at an early age. Although there are challenges, the growing demand for ESL highlights its significance in an increasingly connected world. The future of ESL depends on how well it adapts to changing communication needs and ensures fair access for learners from all walks of life.
