Challenges of speaking English in Bangladeshi classrooms

Abstract

The research intends to find out the challenges that the learners face in English speaking in the Bangladeshi classrooms. This paper investigates the challenges existing in teaching-learning and practicing spoken English inside the classroom. With a view to finding out the challenges, the data have been collected through the research instruments like survey questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussion and classroom observation. After a thorough analysis in both qualitative and quantitative methods, a recommendation has been made for the learners, teachers, ELT practitioners and all the people involved in the teaching and learning English in Bangladesh. However, my anticipation of the result is that the lack of logistic and administrative facilities, appropriate teaching-learning methods and lack of supportive environment are the challenges in teaching-learning spoken English in Bangladesh.
