Call in Promoting EFL Learner Autonomy at the Tertiary Level in Bangladesh Rahman, Mohammad Mustafizur This research article intends to examine how far Computer Assisted Language Learning promotes the autonomous EFLleaming and how this can be maximized, overcoming the limitations it has in practical fields. An autonomous learner uses his personal ways of learning according to his need and knowledge on the subject At the same time he/she sets his own target and evaluates the improvement. OWL can facilitate and give support to all these aspects. So, in general sense we do assume that GILL should promote autonomous EFL learning. But in the context of Bangladesh we need to find out what are strengths and limitations of CALL activities in facilitating EFL learner autonomy. In this paper the researcher has given ageneral idea of current practices of CALL activities on autonomous language learning. And then he tried to analyze the prevailing limitations of CALL activities to finalize the guidelines later to maximize benefits of EFL autonomous learners. Therese archer has conducted a questionnaire survey to analyze the present scenario of CALL activities to mould a proper guideline to get the best result for EFL autonomous learners of Bangladesh in the tertiary level.

Masochism: A Means of Survival in The Piano Teacher Husna, Asmaul Erika Kohut, the protagonist of Elfriede Jelinek's The Piano Teacher, experiences certain feelings that reflect her masochistic attitude towards life. Masochism, the activity of getting pleasure from being hurt or controlled by another person, dominates Erika's life and it connects her to the world by releasing utter loneliness and estrangement. Erika's escape from self, motivation to escape, link to sexuality gives a platform to reduce her anguish and to cope with the way of the world. Her inner self behaves the way Freud and Lacan scrutinized the psychoanalytic self. She goes through Durkheimian anomie that is the breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community. She is entangled between the world of sublime and the world of sexual attention and emotional wickedness. This paper is going to deal with masochistic agendas including masochistic desire of pain, submissiveness, domination, helplessness, embarrassing or humiliating experiences and how it relates with the action and experiences of Erika. It will also relate the sphere of gender and masochism along with the analysis of masochism is dominant in feminity or masculinity. The protagonist's relationship with masochism and estrangement are really assisting her in survival or not.

The Everlasting Shackle of Patriarchy: From Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain to Anita Desai Islam, Mohammad Zahidul; Mahin, Mahbub Hasan It is now over one hundred years that the women are fighting for their emancipation, equal rights and right to decision making from their male counterparts. However, this long struggle seems hardly providing equal rights to women, let alone the emancipation that they seek mainly. Although there has been significant change how women lead their life today from one hundred years ago, the inherent structure of patriarchy still suppresses them. This paper intends to scrutinize the condition of women in selected writing of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, a major proponent of feminism during the then British Bengal, and Anita Desai, a contemporary postcolonial writer on feminism in India. The objective of this paper is to prove that the women cannot attain emancipation from patriarchy even if they are provided education and economic freedom.
