BRAC training for secondary school English language teacher and Its effect on classroom teaching

Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of learning from the teacher training program of rural secondary school English teachers. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches are used in the study. The study traces the changes in the teachers in terms of their pedagogic skills, language skills development, knowledge about Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and their attitudes towards this new approach and its effects on teaching. The study finds out that implementation of knowledge and skills gained through training varies according to age, sex, motivation, experience, and even the regions. The findings of the study create an opportunity to the education policy makers to take proper initiatives to motivate the teachers and the learners towards teaching and learning through CLT approach which apparently influences teachers to bring positive changes of attitude and behaviors in their teaching.
