- Abstract
This study investigates the emergent features of the English Proficiency Index and Human Development Index of countries across the globe using a complex adaptive system. By using the descriptive and quantitative methodologies of the 87 countries across the globe that had the English Proficiency Index (EPI) and Human Development Index (HDI) in 2018, the study identified two distinct clusters. The first cluster shows a negative correlation between the EPI and HDI, while the second cluster has a positive correlation. Hence, the findings of the study have resulted in several lessons. First, it appears that the human development of countries in the first cluster is not necessarily correlated with their English proficiency, whereas countries in the second cluster are most likely to use English as the foundation for their human development; second, regardless of how much effort has been exerted to learn English, there are countries that can only learn up to a maximum proficiency level of 60 percent; third, the results shed a great deal of light on the teaching of students, particularly when it comes to understanding the differences in English language learning.
