3.4 Findings
The sequence of analysis reveals that in Bangladesh, there is
almost no practice for interesting activities to teach English in
children’s classes let alone using songs, rhymes and games. In
fact, teachers are not even aware of the effectiveness of these
tools. As a result, what children learn comes from rote learning
of a foreign language that they are not at all interested in. The
NCTB is able to teach them very little from the compulsory
English education for twelve years. And whatever they learn
can not be defined as language learning as they cannot produce
the language without memorization. As this ineffective
learning at the initial stage remains with them, it influences
their English education at later stages and students enter the
tertiary level with minimum level of proficiency in English to
cope with their courses. Even very good students with
extremely good results at the secondary and higher secondary
exams have to struggle to get a good CGPA only because they
are not as good in English as they are required to be to study in
English. No doubt this is very frustrating for those students and
their teachers.
