##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
English Language has been a part of curriculum in Afghanistan whether it is lycée or university level. This article examines challenges students have been facing in learning English language. Date was collected through a questionnaire. As we are reading their responses, their English has been improved despite of some minor challenges, while they preferred to read and listen to improve their English language. Reading has been viewed mainly as an interactive process between the reader and the text. As a matter of fact, the reader comprehends a text without any external interference, or it is one of the most important skills employed by a language learner to know words, their meaning and pragmatics and it is all for achieving accuracy and fluency. Findings suggest there must be more quizzes frequently to make students work hard and if there are more real-life scenarios for English speaking that will be highly effective.
