Online tutors' views on the impact of English language on society
There are many foreign schools all throughout the world that teach English. Standardized exams, like the TOEFL, are also available to assess the English language skills of non-native speakers who want to enroll in colleges that speak the language. To prepare for the test, you can use online TOEFL tutors (https://livexp.com/online-tutors/toefl).
