I think a good teacher is a good psychologist as well.He or she can read out what is going on inside his/her students' minds.Sometimes individual students are found not attentive in class.In such cases teachers can call up them personally and then can frankly discuss their problems.

Dear Students

Please don't worry.You are the heart of the university and definitely the authority will work out your concern regarding classrooms as early as possible.We may have some shortage in our resources as we are still growing as a university but one thing I do really believe that there is no shortage in our dedication.And you know if dedication is there,no obstacle does matter.

Wish you all the best.

HRDI / Re: English Department Workshop

Thank you sir.Your guidelines to improve our classes also deserve appreciation.We the English teachers infact think a lot about how to improve our students' English but sometimes their 'no reaction' attitude makes me frustrated.At present, I am thinking about some specific plans.I hope to share it very soon.

Dear all,

We have already participated in three sessions.Last day( 13th July) we, Nusrat Jahan and Shamsi Ara Huda of group 1, jot down the following suggestions to improve our classroom management:

1. Marks Distribution:

# More marks should be allocated on presentation
# More marks should be allocated on reading

2. Motivation

# Students should be motivated to reading
# Realistic goals should be connected to motivate learners

3. Teaching Writing

# Selective extracts can be used for improving writing
# Students can be instructed to rewrite selective reading materials
# Editing should be emphasied by peer review

4.Teaching Materials

# Need based innovative materials can be used
# Diverse sources like Readers' Digest, Star Insight, Star Campus etc. can be introdued
# Some extra story books can be introduced for each semester and learners' progress has to be assessed.

5. Equipments

# Internet
# Multi-media
#E-book
#Blog

We gave emphasis on presentation as in many cases, speaking is the only skill to be tested to evaluate a person's level of communicative competence.We have also emphasised on reading as it is realated with the improvement of writing.By building a habit of regular reading,a person can himself/herself improve his/her style of writing.Here the teacher can only play the role of a facilitator.

We have connected assessment with almost everything as our students are very much instrumentally motivated.They have always a tendency to secure a good grade in exam.Moreover, they are suggested to be motivated integratively by connecting realistic goals.For example:if a teacher , now and then,reminds his/her students about the importance of English in their real life,they are bound to address this need.

By innovative materials, we in fact meant authentic materials.We felt that students will feel motivated if they can attach themselves personally with the reading materials.Besides a smooth support of technology is a must to ensure more exposure in English.

English Language Lab / Re: GOOD TEACHERS DON'T TEACH

The write-up on "Good Teachers Don't Teach" is really motivating for teachers.Infact nowadays, the word 'teacher' has been replaced by the word' ' facilitator' in many places.But unfortunately we are still holding our previous views as if we are preconditioned to keep ourselves active leaving  our students passive.To improve our students' skill in English, this attitude has to be changed.A real interactive classroom has to be ensured.
