This article looks at the problems and solutions in teaching English as a second or third language. Today, English is one of the most important global languages used in education, business, and communication. Many students find learning English difficult, especially if it is not their first language. Teachers also face challenges in making the learning process easier and more effective. This paper explores the main reasons why students struggle, why it is important to understand the differences between native and foreign languages, and what teaching methods can help. It also shows how students’ interest and motivation can be increased by using useful strategies in class.
