Findings reveal that students understand the importance of business letters for professional success, appreciating their role in developing professionalism, critical thinking, and linguistic skills. However, challenges such as mastering formats, adapting tone to context, and limited exposure to real-world applications were identified. Students valued interactive teaching methods and constructive feedback but highlighted the need for improvements, including the integration of technology and practical learning activities.
