Present Scenario of English Language Teaching in a Bangladeshi School

Abstract

This report shows the overview of a practical task I undertook of teaching and observing two classes at a Bangla Medium School as part of my course Project Paper (ENG 334). To complete my internship report, I chose my secondary school Afsar Memorial High School. I asked for permission from the school’s head-teacher to observe and teach three English classes at his school. Due to the changes in the routine for the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, he permitted me to observe and teach two English classes in the institution. I had prepared myself for the task and followed some components like teaching quality, class, observation, learning resources, teaching materials, individual lesson plan, feedback and assessment of teaching etc. For this report, I had to know about teachers' organizational ability, use of standard language, materials that teachers use for teaching, how teachers help students learn English better, and what methods they use to conduct classes. This paper ends with the findings, lacking, recommendations, and the checklists from the observation, and some strengths and weaknesses that can be helpful for teachers enthusiastic about teaching. I have gained a vast amount of knowledge while observing and conducting the classes. I firmly believe that my experience and knowledge of teaching and observing classes will benefit me in the future.
