Item English words in Bangla speeches and conversations: An analysis of their influence on Bangla in Bangladesh(Center for Research and Publication (CRP), 2024-12) Hoque, Muhammad AzizulEnglish now serves as a global communication tool for diverse people and purposes, not just native speakers. Bangladesh borrows, code-switches, code-mixes, transliterates, and uses the language like other countries. As observed in writings, Bangladeshi multi-professionals also often use English lexicon in Bangla speeches and conversations. The phenomenon appears to have received little scholarly attention. Therefore, the current researcher has closely observed multi-professional conversations and speeches to determine how English lexical components affect Bangla spoken texts. Purposive sampling was used to select 42 multi-professional speeches and conversations for this study. The recorded data were analyzed using quantitative content analysis. The findings reveal the presence of English lexical elements of various natures in the daily speeches and conversations of Bangla speakers. This paper shows that while redundant, some English vocabulary components can make Bangla verbal communication livelier. To determine how English words affect Bangla, 17 academics were interviewed. Interview data were thematically analyzed. This paper aims to discuss the importance of language awareness, which can influence language policy and use in Bangladesh by focusing on the functions of both the native (Bangla) and foreign (English) languages.Item Nature of errors and mistakes in the English writings of graduating students in Bangladesh: A case study((CRP), International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh,, 2021-02-13) Hoque, Muhammad AzizulThere is no denying that writing is quite tiresome in both second language teaching and learning situations. And so, selecting an appropriate strategy to provide the learners with necessary feedback in their writings seems to be a complicated task in language pedagogy. The present researchers observe that despite the writing practice of English for about 12 years in Bangladesh, the tertiary students commit mistakes and errors. They, therefore, feel numerous studies should be conducted to find an effective means of feedback for mistakes and errors the students make. Thus, this paper identifies the nature of mistakes and errors in their writings and finds out remedial procedures by means of knowing the factors contributing to the recurrence of these errors and mistakes year after year. To obtain data, some writing samples of paragraphs in groups, business letters, and letters of application have been taken from some undergraduate students of a university, and an opinion survey of teachers with an open-ended questionnaire has also been conducted. The study concludes with some pedagogical recommendations based on relevant concerns.
