The necessity and urge of improving English

The necessity and urge of improving English was felt much more than ever. The syllabuses Rosetta Stone Outlet were mostly based on structural type followed by Grammartranslation method and after that Situational method. The new era of English flourished in the beginning of twentyfirst century, i.e. after 2001, because of changes taken place in the policies of teaching English in neighboring and in many other countries. The growth of the jobs in the private sectors and in multinational companies created the demand of the persons who know effective English practically needed for communication across the national borders.

What role is being played by the teacher, a facilitator or a dictator?f) Is the policy of Bangladesh suitable to nourish the technique of teaching grammar through Communicative Language Teaching Approach?g) Are the socioeconomic and infrastructural condition impediments for this approach?Research Methodology:Multiple methods would be used in the investigation including interviews, classroom observations, journal writings and analysis of lesson plans.
