Abstract

As globalization advances and English solidifies its status as the international lingua franca, English learning has extended beyond school education to become an integral part of lifelong learning. For long-term learners, the improvement and maintenance of English proficiency are linked to career development and personal growth. However, the language learning process is complex and variable, and the challenges faced by long-term English learners should not be underestimated. By comparing learners at different stages of their studies, this research reveals the causes of various learning difficulties and their comprehensive impact on learning motivation and efficiency. The findings indicate that learners of all ages, professional backgrounds, or educational levels face issues such as learning fatigue, outdated learning strategies, a lack of resources, and unfavorable sociolinguistic environments. To address these challenges, the paper identifies key interventions such as setting clear goals, closely aligning learning content with practical needs, and fostering effective community interaction. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the importance of personalized learning plans, which can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of different learners to fuel their enthusiasm and increase learning efficiency.
