WHY AND HOW PROMOTING LEARNERS’ AUTONOMY IN TESL IN BANGLADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Sciences and Education - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
A great deal continues to be said about the teaching of English at tertiary level in Bangladesh, and the focus has often been on teachers to encourage students to learn and use the language in a variety of contexts. As multicultural and multinational barriers have crumbled down and we are inextricably intertwined in this borderless world, we have to ensure that the Bangladeshi graduates stand out globally as efficient communicators in English. Hence, the paper believes that successful implementation of learners’ autonomy can enhance learning English as a second language. Therefore, it tries to explore the scopes and outcomes of implementation of learners’ autonomy at tertiary level in Bangladesh. This study basically combines both qualitative and quantitative research methods where research paradigm is pragmatic. Finally, the study directs to promote learners’ autonomy so that students can be best prepared to face the ‘real’ and ‘much bigger world’ outside the classroom.
