In this study, qualitative data collection tools such as FGD and individual interviews with the different stakeholders currently involved with this radio have been used. Also, for this survey, relevant documents, scripts, recorded programmes have been analyzed in the light of existing literatures. All the collected data have been analyzed to formulate effective recommendations for making the radio programme more effective in teaching English.
