The aim of this paper is to examine the complexities of learning English Language among the SSC level learners of Lahiri High School under Thakurgaon District, a northern part of Bangladesh. Many students don’t receive Standard Education of English due to knowledgeable teachers, financial constraints, lack of multimedia project teaching and learning system, and lack of English Language Club.  It aims to look at motivating the young learners so that they can be able to develop the basic knowledge of four skills despite depriving of ultra-modern facilities. For this purpose, the current researcher collected date through questionnaire and interview process. 15 sets of questions were provided among 15 students to find out their fundamental knowledge of English language. In the field survey, 31 participants were selected for interview, including 15 male & female students, 6 teachers, and 10 guardians. Teachers and parents expressed their different views about English language learning complexities. Participants responded that students were weak in English Grammar, Vocabulary, and Speaking Skill. After realizing their English learning complexities, the researcher came to conclusion and recommendations. Thus this study would like to show a new dimension of English Language Learning for the Secondary Level students at Thakurgaon District in Bangladesh.

This article provides an overview and critical analysis of The English Language Learning Progressions (ELLP) (Ministry of Education, 2008). Identifying main themes through critical policy analysis, this review seeks to place ELLP in context through a comparison with The English Language Learning Framework: Draft (Ministry of Education, 2005) and English Language Learning Progressions (ELLP ) Pathway Years 1–8 (Ministry of Education, 2020a). Within this review, the structure of ELLP is explored along with key ideas and claims. It is argued that there are both challenges and opportunities in ELLP. Finally, the key issues are summarised and suggestions are made for future research.

Purpose: The paper aims to present an overview of the technologies that are used in English language learning classes in Higher Secondary Level of Studies in Bangladesh. The aim is also to identify the gaps between the use of technology and CLT- based curriculum and material. Approach/Methodology/Design: Four colleges were selected randomly as a sample of the study. For collecting data, an open-ended questionnaire was constructed, validated, and administrated. In addition, structured interviews and an observation guide of classes were employed as instruments to collect data. Findings: Based on the results of data analysis, it is clear that the use of technology in Bangladesh is increasing day by day but the percentage is still very low. The results of this study indicate that there is a gap between the use of technology and CLT based curriculum and material in Bangladesh. Hence, it is concluded that the technologies that are used in the classrooms are not adequate. Practical Implications: The study reflects on the use of technology in classrooms. This is in line with the mission of digital Bangladesh. Originality/value: This study is important for teachers, students and authorities since it reflects on the technology being used in higher secondary level, the gaps between the use of technology and CLT- based curriculum and material in Bangladesh and how the gap can be fulfilled to ensure the proper use of technology in CLT- based educational environment and attain the vision of ‘Digital Bangladesh’.

English language learning (ELL) children suspected of having specific-language impairment (SLI) should be assessed using the same methods as monolingual English-speaking children born and raised in the United States. In an effort to reduce over- and under-identification of ELL children as SLI, speech-language pathologists (SLP) must employ nonbiased assessment practices. This article presents several evidence-based, nonstandarized assessment practices SLPs can implement in place of standardized tools. As the number of ELL children SLPs come in contact with increases, the need for well-trained and knowledgeable SLPs grows. The goal of the authors is to present several well-establish, evidence-based assessment methods for assessing ELL children suspected of SLI.
