The purpose of evaluation in English language teaching is to assess students' language proficiency, understanding, and progress in their learning journey. It helps educators identify strengths and weaknesses, guiding instructional decisions and curriculum adjustments. Moreover, evaluation provides feedback to learners, fostering motivation and self-awareness in their language development. Ultimately, it ensures that teaching methods are effective and aligned with students' needs.
What's more important than learning English is understanding why you need a language (not necessarily English).

English tools refer to various resources and instruments that assist in learning, teaching, and improving proficiency in the English language.

In the future, the learning and teaching of English will likely become more personalized and technology-driven, utilizing artificial intelligence and adaptive learning platforms to cater to individual student needs. Virtual and augmented reality may also play a significant role, providing immersive environments for language practice. Additionally, an increased focus on global communication will emphasize practical language skills over traditional grammar and vocabulary memorization, fostering a more conversational and culturally aware approach to learning English.
