As part of my BA (Hons) in English, I had to do an internship project under the course
ENG 334: Project Paper. I was given a project to learn the current situation of English
language teaching and learning. In Bangladesh, students study English as a required subject
and they work hard to memorize the textbook contents and language forms to get good
grade in their exams, yet the majority are unable to acquire even a minimum competence
in the language needed for effective communication. Parents, in general, regard learning
English necessary for their children as they believe that it opens up doors to a better future
within the country and abroad. This has led to the emphasis towards teaching
communication abilities, especially conversational skills. English is studied as a
compulsory subject in our curriculum to meet specific purposes, e.g. to provide overseas
employment, to help to transact foreign trade and to facilitate higher studies. It also enables
learners to be acquainted with the culture, tradition, history and the country in general of
the target language and also to pursue knowledge about and pleasure in the world.
Traditional teaching methodology, known as the teacher-centered grammar translation
method, is not suitable for teaching communicative English, but only for meeting the
requirements of the present examination system. That is why, even if a teacher knows how
to get his/her learners to practice oral skills; s/he does not find it worth practicing. There is
a need for a methodology change in the teaching of ‘foreign’ language and literature to
bring it more into line with the learner-centered, collaborative approach of the
communicative method. Therefore, the history and drawbacks of ELT in Bangladesh have
made it obvious that there is scope available for improving the condition of English
language teaching and learning. |

dc.description.abstract |
This report was an attempt to know about “The Present Scenario of English Language
Teaching in a Bangladeshi School”. More specially, the purpose of the researcher was to
visit a school and observe the teaching methods and techniques of the language teachers.
As part of that I went to Holy Life School and College and made class observation report
using checklist. I prepared in several ways depending on the elements: class observation,
teaching style, learning style, assessment, evaluation and feedback earned from ELT course
at my Spring Semester, 2019. The purpose of this report was to know the process of how
to improve their language teaching and which method and materials are followed in
language teaching to enhance the target language in school.
In conclusion, the study has provided some recommendations based on the findings and
the checklist from the observation that figures out the strengths and the weaknesses of the
observed teacher that can be helpful for the aspiring teachers. |
