Learning English is not easy, but it is important and beneficial for a student to have a good command of the English language. You will agree with me that English goes beyond taking Communication in English (GST 111 and 122) courses in school.
On the previous edition of Tech Thursday, I shared five apps a student should use, this week will feature English learning apps for every student that desires to improve his or her English proficiency.
