Abstract
In today's globalized environment, proficiency in English is not just an advantage but a necessity for professional fields. Traditional language learning methods often do not prepare individuals for the subtleties required in professional communication, highlighting the need for innovative teaching, and learning models. Despite the availability of English language resources and institutions, many learners lack the practical skills needed for their professional fields, creating a significant gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The problem spans education, linguistics, and professional development, encompassing issues like the lack of personalized learning, insufficient focus on practical application, and inadequate real-world immersion and feedback. The article aims to present the holistic conceptual model that addresses these shortcomings by integrating practical experiences, individualized learning plans, and real-world context into the curriculum, emphasizing the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback, and aligning language learning with learners' professional specialties to enhance motivation and relevance.
