The era of globalization and international developments have prompted the increasing interest in the learning of English.

This exploration is expected to significantly improve ELT as the field responds to the increasing world-wide demand for higher quality ELT programs It also will stimulate discussion between  English practitioners regarding the quality of ELT.  Raising questions about quality of ELT can help improve EFL teaching, policies and practices, both at universities and schools.
