Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that contribute to the enhancement of English language skills among undergraduate students at universities in Somalia. Proficiency in English is crucial for academic success and future career prospects in this field. In order to bridge this gap, descriptive and ANOVA statistics were utilized using SPSS software. The study involved a randomly selected sample of undergraduate students from five universities in Mogadishu. The findings demonstrated that English language programs significantly improved students’ proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, as well as their vocabulary and grammar. The availability of diverse learning materials and the use of technology were identified as vital elements for promoting language development. Furthermore, the acquisition of language skills greatly relies on a well-designed curriculum delivered by experienced instructors
