In my opinion, there is no problem. English has a future tense, like most other modern languages.

Future Tense

8)

The problems occur because we have many ways of talking about the future- will\going to\present simple and progressive, etc.

Students need practice in different situations to get used to choosing the most appropriate form for different contexts.
