Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive review of effective strategies for teaching English as a second language. With the increasing globalization and demand for English proficiency, educators face the challenge of catering to diverse learner needs. The review synthesizes current literature on various methodologies, including communicative language teaching, task-based learning, content-based instruction, and the use of technology in ESL classrooms. Additionally, it explores factors such as learner motivation, cultural sensitivity, and teacher training. By examining the strengths and limitations of different approaches, this paper provides insights for educators to design effective ESL programs that promote language acquisition and fluency among learners.
