「beneficial」と「effective」は、英語で似ている単語ですが、微妙な違いがあります。
「beneficial（有益な）」は、何かが良い影響を与えることを指します。つまり、何かが役に立ったり、プラスの効果をもたらすことを表します。例えば、以下のように使われます。
- Eating fruits and vegetables is beneficial for your health.（果物や野菜を食べることは健康に有益です。）
一方、「effective（効果的な）」は、目的を達成するために効果的であることを指します。つまり、何かが効果的であるとは、その目的を達成するのに適しているという意味です。例えば、以下のように使われます。
- The new marketing strategy was very effective in increasing sales.（新しいマーケティング戦略は売上を増やすのに非常に効果的でした。）
つまり、「beneficial」は何かが良い影響を与えることを強調し、「effective」は目的を達成するために効果的であることを強調します。

Beneficial means having a good effect. Effective can mean having any effect at all, or it can mean in an unofficial but practical way (as in "almost all the guests were gone, so the party was effectively over.")
