As the world becomes more connected, being proficient in English is crucial for teachers' career readiness and professional growth. For future teachers, having strong English skills can open numerous opportunities. This study explores the role of English language proficiency in preparing future teachers for their careers. The researchers used a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews with students who are preparing themselves to become teachers. The findings highlight that English is the global language of communication and learning. Teachers who are fluent in English can better access educational resources, collaborate with colleagues worldwide, and foster intercultural understanding in their classrooms. Mastering the four basics of English skills, reading, writing, listening, and speaking is the key to equipping future teachers with the competencies they need to succeed. By improving their English skills, future educators can thrive in an increasingly globalized world.
