Similar to the name of the course - Syllabus Design and Materials Development, the classes also seems serious taught by one of the best educators of the country Mr. Hamidur Rahman. He himself is a running library who has abundance of knowledge and tries to provide us a glimpse of that knowledge from that. As remarked by Hamidur Sir, we have somehow successfully been able to change the Syllabus pattern, materials and textbooks to embrace the Communicative Language Teaching in our Country, however, we still cannot leave the previous Grammar Translation Method which is mainly because our whole Exam system has not changed a bit and it can never be changed. So, overall change will never happen and our education system will remain the way it is.

According to Hamidur Sir, it is our old backdated exam system and the craziness of achieving GPA 5 which has barred the progress of the education system in our country. We might accept contemporary teaching methods such as the CLT, but our exam system pulls us back to GTM! We cannot learn communicatively, because whatever path our students take, it will end in the same examination process where everyone has to climb the ladder with their results!
Aren't we lagging behind?
GPA 5 is increasing on the other hand quality of education is decreasing...............
ReplyDeleteYes, but still parents and students want GPA 5. They would not want anything more than a GPA 5 result.
