“The Current Scenario of English Language Teaching in the Rural Areas of Bangladesh”

Abstract

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Even though both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish have more native speakers than English, English is the world's lingua franca (despite the fact that it is not a particularly easy language to learn). Research shows that there are around 86 countries with English as the official language or second language. It is spoken by nearly 2 billion people across the globe, and the figure is rapidly increasing. Countries like Bangladesh and other Indian subcontinent countries made English language learning mandatory, where students learn English from an early age. The main purpose of this project is to observe and analyze the current state of English language teaching in Rural Areas of Bangladesh. This project also investigates the teaching techniques, styles, and materials utilized in high schools. Based on the collected data from classroom observations of English classes of the high school, this project report has discovered a lot of information and identified some key issues with the current teaching approach. A few recommendations are provided for the development of the current teaching approach. Keywords: aim, experience, observation, conduct, method, approach, rural
