    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 Azizul
    There 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.

    Nazrul’s uniqueness in the presentation of poverty and begging: A study from Islamic perspective
    (CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2016-12) Hoque, Muhammad Azizul; Uddin, Md. Abu Saleh Nizam
    In present western civilization, poverty and begging have always been neglected at both micro and macro-economic levels. The picture of poverty and, at its extremity, begging is one of the most tragic scenarios across the world. However, in Islamic tenets, begging as a profession and action is discouraged since men are created by Allah as the best of all creations. Though, many literary works dealt with the pathetic pictures of poverty and begging, the literary contribution of Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976) dealing with poverty and begging is seemingly a true reflection of Islamic creeds. His picturesque presentation of poverty from his first-hand experience urges rapid steps to alleviate poverty and begging. Above all, his human-centric mental set-up plays the key role here. Therefore, Nazrul is not to be recognized as the proponent of the familiar Western concepts like Socialism or Marxism or Capitalism. This paper aims at exploring how in his literature Nazrul, with diametric discarding of these Western concepts, deals with poverty and begging as a true reflection of Islamic paradigms to find a solution to the problems

    Chittagonian Variety: Dialect, Language, or Semi-Language?
    (CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2015-12) Hoque, Muhammad Azizul
    The main concern of this paper is to explore the status of Chittagonian variety- a language spoken by the people of Chittagong in Bangladesh-with a view to considering whether it is a dialect of Bangla or a language or a semi-language. Though it is closely related to Bangla, its distinctive features like a different sound system, mutual unintelligibility with Bangla, etc. give it a separate entity and encourage the researcher of this paper to rethink about the existing idea of its being a dialect of Bangla and to try to present some supportive arguments in favor of its separate entity as a language. In the article the researcher has provided an introduction to the Chittagonian variety; language and dialect; previous literature, and used methodology consisting of random sampling based on the collection of newspaper articles, books, and internet sources, and the like. And some findings from that research and recommendations have been discussed.
