Research limitations/implications: The study faced limitations such as time constraints and varying levels of student motivation, which may have influenced results. These factors should be considered for future program improvements. Findings: The findings revealed significant improvements in students' proficiency across all four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The program's success is attributed to its structured curriculum, specialized teaching methods, regular assessments, and integration of technology.
