Perception of secondary level English language teachers of Bangla medium schools regarding English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Abstract

English as a medium of instruction has emerged as one of Bangladesh's most pressing educational concerns at the university level. Although English is used as a language of teaching in several private universities in Bangladesh, students have difficulty speaking and listening because they are mostly from Bangla-speaking backgrounds. English as a medium of teaching is not well established in Bangla medium schools or colleges. The purpose of this study is to learn about secondary-level English language instructors' attitudes on English as a medium of instruction in Bangla medium schools in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A recommendation has been made for teachers, students, and policymakers after a thorough investigation using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
