It not only brings variety in pronunciation, but also distinguishes meanings in words. Some pairs of similar-sounding words are differently recognized in Bangla only because of the aspiration trait. Hence it is claimed that aspiration is a distinctive feature in Bangla. In this paper the distinctiveness of Bangla has been tested with minimal pairs, in order to establish the distinct linguistic fact in question. Examples have been drawn widely from contemporary Bangla language in sufficient number with utmost care and contemplation. Phonemic and phonetic transcriptions, as necessary, have been provided beside the words along with meanings for a better grasp of the contrast in minimal pairs. The relevant aspects of phonetics and phonology of Bangla have also been compared with those of English to bring into focus the aspirational characteristics. The elaboration of the concept ‘intonation’ at the beginning of the...

They often use virtual platforms like Moodle and Google Classroom to supportand supplement their physical classroom teaching, which transcends the routine constraints of traditional educational system. In their capacity, teachers and students may engage in necessary interactions “anytime anywhere”, adding extra momentum to the teaching-learning process. English language teaching (ELT) may be specially facilitated by such features as constant connectivity, anytime feed-backing, assignment creation, submission and grading, file sharing, virtual interaction and collaboration, etc. Here is an attempt to delineate some important features of Moodle and Google Classroom, two useful technological tools, in the light of the author’s experience as a teacher.

Information technology (IT) has flourished at a breakneck speed and people have moved towards automation from manual deed. It has exerted deep impact on educational system all over the world. Computer, internet and other technologies are now being used by teachers and learners in ever increasing rate and volume. Institutions are exploring ways to utilize IT effectively for the purpose of education. This paper considers various aspects of the influence of information technology on education, with special attention to language teaching (LT). It considers various features of IT which are found useful in education as well as how those features are best used by educationists and language teachers. The Bangladesh scenario vis-a-vis the use of IT in education has also been taken into account.

Every language has its own phonemic system, which holds unique as well as common features. A language shares some phonemes with other languages, but no two languages have the same phonemic inventory. This article makes a contrastive analysis of the phonemic systems of English and Bangla. The aspects of similarities as well as dissimilarities between the two have been explored in detail. It brings into focus the inventory of phonemes of the two languages along with relevant phonetic and phonological characteristics. The vowel and consonant phonemes of the two languages have been compared with sufficient examples, making it clear where and how they are identical and different.

All round the world, the educationists in conformity with tradition have emphasized transferring knowledge and skills from teachers to learners. In ancient Greek, Indian and Chinese societies, the mode of education was basically the same. Disciples used to gather around the gurus/philosophers to listen to their words in order to learn earthly and spiritual affairs. The scene was not changed much until the twentieth century, when education philosophers, psychologists, researchers, planners, managers and practitioners started to realize that too much teacher-dependence robs students of their creative and critical capacities. Therefore they made a plea that learning should be active rather than passive, interactive rather than lecture-based. Education becomes effective when students learn through problem-solving activities, in total self-engagement, with minimum intervention by ...

While teaching a language, supplementation of activities that help the thinking process and trigger the possibility of thinking conventionally and unconventionally, are felt to be useful for speech development. This paper describes a possible approach carried out by the researcher to intensify the thinking process along with a communicative task. It is found that the students' involvement and productivity are more with the use of metacognitive strategy. Students felt that this approach enabled them to come out with their thoughts without much inhibition. This study suggests that while teaching a language, it is necessary to look into the application of it in specific and also in varied contexts.

I thank my colleagues and students who helped me in my survey by providing data. My particular thanks go to a group of volunteers who helped me in collecting data and counting entries. My colleague Mr. Masud Ibn Rahman helped me in analyzing data with his statistical knowledge and I thankfully acknowledge his contributions. I am glad that with the help of all I at last could complete the research work and I hope it will be of some use to Daffodil International University, the authorities of which would come forward to implement necessary recommendations provided in the report for the greater benefit of students who learn English as requirements of their course studies.
