The Papua New Guinea National Education Plan 2020-2029 explicitly aims to enhance English language proficiency as part of its broader educational reforms, recognizing English as a critical tool for global communication and local economic development. This plan emphasizes the integration of English language instruction at all educational levels, promoting teaching methodologies that foster effective communication skills among students (Department of Education, 2020). By equipping educators with the necessary training and resources to deliver quality English language education, the plan seeks to improve not only academic outcomes but also the employability of graduates in a competitive job market (Kambang & Kaba, 2021). This strategic focus on English proficiency aligns with the country's goals to prepare its youth for participation in an increasingly interconnected world (Papua New Guinea National Department of Education, 2020).
