Although they realize that English is crucial, especially in academic, business, and in any communication as Talebenizhed (2001) revealed that English is the most useful way to get through to the world’s intellectual and technical resources.

English Grammar students need to continue involving themselves in English activities inside and outside class, especially English Grammar 1 and 2.
