Difficulties and challenges in implementing CLT In Bangladesh

Abstract

Communicative Language Teaching has been introduced in language teaching in 1970's as a new language method . Since then it is being practiced worldwide. Even in our country NCTB (National Curriculum and Textbook Board) has designed syllabuses according to this method. The aim of this study is to find out the reasons for which it is still being difficult to implement CLT in our country. Besides, the feasibility of this method in our country will be investigated here. To perform this survey successfully ten respondents were surveyed with a written questionnaire . The findings from the survey show that teachers do face some problems when they try to apply the principles of CLT in our schools. The difficulties are emerging because of students, educational system and the method itself.
