TEACHING ENGLISH AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL: A STUDY OF TEACHERS' PERCEIVED DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTING CLT IN BANGLADESH (original) (raw)

For the last thirty years, the field of TESOL (TEACHING ENGLISH AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL) has been influenced in its development by different issues which have led to increasing demands for an inquiry into the social, economical and political aspects of English language teaching. In the light of such demands, this empirical survey looks into English teachers' perceived difficulties in implementing Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, the impact of these difficulties on language teaching, on the learners from the Bangladeshi ELT context. Qualitative results show that teachers perceive these difficulties in different ways, but there are noticeable patterns which suggest that these difficulties, to a great extent, make CLT ineffective for teaching English at the secondary level in Bangladesh.
