EFL focuses on equipping learners with the necessary skills to communicate effectively in English, including oral presentation abilities, which are crucial for academic and professional success.
What are common challenges faced by EFL students?
EFL students often face challenges such as speech anxiety, limited vocabulary, inadequate feedback from traditional teaching methods, and difficulties in delivering oral presentations. They may also struggle with grammar, pronunciation, and understanding colloquial expressions. These obstacles highlight the need for innovative tools and personalized assistance to help students overcome them and improve their language skills.
