Abstract. In the modern globalized world, the English language plays a crucial
role as a primary means of international communication. It is widely used in education,
science, business, technology, and diplomacy, making it an essential skill for
individuals seeking academic and professional success. Learning English enables
people to access a vast amount of information, participate in global discussions, and
build cross-cultural connections. Moreover, proficiency in English enhances career
opportunities, promotes cultural exchange, and supports personal development. As
digitalization and globalization continue to expand, the importance of learning English
becomes increasingly significant, positioning it as a key tool for integration into the
modern world.
