In this era of globalization, English has become a very important skill both for international communication and for academic and professional opportunities. The various models have been used to improve English language skills. Effective English learning relies heavily on implementing appropriate teaching models. Therefore, choosing the right teaching model is a key step in improving student learning outcomes. In this study, there are three frequently used English language teaching models will be discussed such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) focuses on developing learners’ communicative competence through real-life interactions, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) emphasizes learning language by completing meaningful real-world tasks and Content-Based Instruction (CBI) integrates language learning with subject matter, allowing students to acquire both language skills and academic knowledge simultaneously. The characteristics of this model will be discussed in improving English language skills at university level. Where each model has unique characteristics and advantages that influence its effectiveness in the English language learning context. The findings will offer practical insights for educators to ensure students graduate with a higher level of English proficiency essential for their academic and professional success.
