English is considered as a global language and thus both the west and the east have become equally busy promoting this language (Imam, 2005). As the major portion of the GDP comes from the exporting goods (Board of Investment) in other countries, naturally urges the people of Bangladesh to learn English. From this understanding, BRAC University has set its goal “to provide an excellent broad based education with a focus on professional development for students, in order to equip them with the knowledge and skill necessary for leading the country in its quest for development” (BRAC University, 2011). To achieve the goal “BRAC University put special emphasis on English and specially spoken English, remembering that jobs will go to those who have achieved fluency in spoken and written English” (Jabeen, 2013).
The objective of this paper is to explore students’ understanding on their problems while speaking in English and their understanding of the ways which help them to develop this skill. According to BIL it says that the students of BRAC University are using less English in their daily conversation (BRAC University, 2014). This is creating a bad impact on their fluency thus, creating obstacles for reaching the goal of the university. To overcome the problem BRAC University has set up an English committee aiming to develop the student’s English spoken skills.
