3.2 Classroom Observation
All the classes were observed in primary sections of the above
mentioned schools in Dhaka. The observation of classroom
teaching revealed that most of the teachers take classes by
sitting all the time and giving children instructions to write
something. As all instructions are given in Bangla, children did
not get any input of spoken English. Another very important
observation was that teachers encouraged memorization rather
than the creative production of English language. Grammatical
rules were explained without context although they were
supposed to follow communicative language teaching
according to the objective of NCTB. Finally, not a single
attempt was made for fun activities in any of the classes.
