The Scenario of English Language Teaching in Bangladeshi School

English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and eventually became a global lingua franca. It is named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to the area of Great Britain that later took their name, as England. (Wikipedia). In Bangladesh people started learning English after the war of Independence in 1971. Before that during the West Pakistan rule a few people used English for their official purpose. In Bangladeshi schools, Grammatical Translation Method (GTM) is used. But there has many effective method like Direct Method, Total Physical Response, and The Silent Way etc. These methods are more effective then GTM method. But it is force to the students in rules learning. They are in memorizing and getting good marks in the exam. The students do not know how they will learn new methods and techniques. Teachers will provide the language learning process. Parents also support old type of learning. For this students lack behind. They do not get proper teaching from the teacher. It is hampering the English language teaching system. English language teaching is based on the idea that the goal of language acquisition is communicative competence. It adopts concepts, techniques and method in classroom for recognizing and managing the communicative needs of the language learners.
