Forhad Jamila, M.A.

Abstract

This article explores the condition of learning English to the engineering students in some of the universities of Bangladesh. An evaluation of course curricula of English is carried on the basis of the English syllabuses for engineering disciplines of those universities. Discussion on importance of learning English for an engineer, failure of learning English by the engineering students has been included in this paper. A brief review of research efforts aimed at evaluating this construct is made, followed by a consideration of how the language may be more effectively learned. This paper describes the various aspects of learning English and focuses on the effective ways of learning and teaching English at this level.

Introduction

English offers the dimensions that lead a learner to make him efficient and skilled to compete in the competitive world. For that, English courses are offered to the students of different disciplines of B.Sc Engineering. In this paper, I offer a comparative study of the courses of English at the B.Sc. engineering level for different disciplines in five public technical universities in Bangladesh: Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Khulna University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology, and Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology. Some information from some private universities is also discussed.
