The implementation of technology in teaching English to Rohingya refugees: a perspective of the teachers in Bangladesh

Abstract

This research explores the potential use of implementing technology inside the refugee camps of Bangladesh. This research aims to examine both the benefits of using technology and the challenges that come with using it. Using a qualitative method to dive into the perspectives of the teachers, the findings were the lack of infrastructure and cultural conflict between the local dwellers of the land and the refugees. The teachers believe that technology can bring a revolution inside the camps and it would address the low attendance of the students inside their classrooms while being used in diverse ways. However, there is a concern about teachers’ training, addiction to technology etc. Finally, the research ends with the limitations and the scope for further research which includes the perspectives of the students and parents and the possibility of sustainability of technology inside the camps.
