English has become a global language due to the influence of Britain and other English-speaking countries. It is spoken by over 380 million people as a first language and over 750 million as a second language. Several factors affect how well students learn English, including their background, location, and access to English instruction. For optimal learning, students need regular exposure and instruction from qualified teachers, opportunities to practice using English authentically, and to enjoy the learning process. Governments aim to support English education by training more teachers and providing in-service training programs.
