Abstract:

This project paper represents the current picture of the English language teaching system in Shaheed Abul Hossain High School. The main aim of this study is to overlook our English language teaching system in this school. This study shows an attempt to know different materials and methods which are being used in Bangladeshi classrooms that are being taught as the English language at the secondary level. The motto of this paper is to know about teaching, learning styles and the issues which are encountered in the classroom. It shows that the English language teaching system in Bangladesh is somehow distracting from the main purpose which should be used as per the English curriculum system in Bangladesh. The real reason for encouraging English language is being diverted because of the disappointment of executing the best possible techniques, as well as diverse materials. Some recommendations have been given based on findings of the paper and observations of the English classes. The study also shows some advantages and disadvantages of the classroom activities that might be much helpful and it will help to improve the present existence of English language teaching system in Bangladesh.

Description:

English language is more than just an official language in most of the countries. English language has been commonly accepted as an active universal language in the world. People consider English language learning as a gateway to a better future. Nowadays, students need to master English language. Mastering English is an important value for the students. Students can improve themselves both in life skill and academics through mastering English language. If the students can comprehend English language, they would be well accepted by the society. English has been the language of diplomacy, higher administration, higher education, superior judiciary and information technology. English is the language of opportunities and success in life. The poor pattern of Bangladeshi Educational System is reflected here which has not much impact on the matter of English language education. Most part of our curriculum does not make the learning of English mandatory. The reluctance about learning and teaching of English is seemed as an inherent quality of Bangladeshi Educational System. Our ELT pattern has to be evaluated to eliminate this obstacle of academic growth. The teaching of English language is focused on the ability of students to be capable of learning the four skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing (Depdiknas, 2003:6). The students should have abilities in reading and listening to support their speaking and writing. English is widely used as a means of communication as it is an international language. English is one of the foreign languages particularly in Asian countries. Students are expected to absorb and keep up with the development of science, technology etc. by learning English. English language has been taught formally in all levels of school from primary school up to university in our country. English language teaching in Bangladeshi schools is not effective for the learners since they are learning English language from the beginning of their school life. (Ali and Walker, 2014; Hamid and Baldauf, 2008). Our government has taken some steps with this view in mind as English is deeply needed as the consequence of the globalization.
