This study investigates the impact of English language teaching intensity on students’ success in obtaining study abroad scholarships. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to three university students who received abroad scholarships. In education, the ability to communicate in English is very important especially to get the opportunity to study abroad. The finding shows that students who complete intensive English language training are more likely to receive scholarships to study abroad. This study provides a dedication to deepening the understanding of the relationship between the intensity of English language training and students’ success in achieving their educational goals abroad and to determine the extent to which the intensity of English language learning affects students’ success in scholarship competitions. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable information to support efforts to improve the quality of English language education in educational institutions.
