Abstract:
English is considered a secondary language in Bangladesh. This research paper explores the challenges faced by Bangla-medium students in improving their English-speaking abilities, considering that English is considered a secondary language in Bangladesh. These students often struggle to become proficient in English due to a lack of effective instructional strategies implemented by teachers. The paper identifies the need for effective learning methods and an encouraging environment to facilitate English language development. Improving communication skills is crucial for students to succeed in today's world and avoid future problems. The article does not just blame the students' abilities for the poor level of English proficiency among Bangla-speaking students; it also emphasizes the role of teachers in this situation. English is often viewed as a foreign language, and there may be a lack of motivation among students to learn it, especially if it is not seen as essential in their daily lives.
Overall, the research paper highlights the need for a concerted effort to address the challenges faced by Bangla-medium students in improving their English-speaking abilities. By implementing effective instructional strategies, creating a supportive learning environment, and providing access to language resources, it is possible to help students develop the necessary skills to succeed in an increasingly globalized world.
