Abstract
English has become an indispensable part of our day to day life. Despite its being a second language, we use it for education, finance and administrative purposes. The existing teaching system encourages us to memorize. The scope of learning is limited to merely passing exams, getting a job or writing some official letters. The teachers focus more on grammatical rules rather than real life communication and their teaching skills are also questionable. On the other hand, the students are also scared and distracted about what to learn exactly. As a result, we are far from the native speakers in terms of interaction. In my observation I found that, of the popular method of teaching, Grammar Translation Method (GTM) is most prominent across the school college of Bangladesh. Some other popular method like Total Physical Response (TRP), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Silent Method should also be considered with equal importance. In order to succeed in the process of teaching the teacher should incorporate creativity and communication.
