Through the project, a pilot series of basic English language learning episodes and curriculums will be developed for radio broadcasting, targeting the students and potential residents of the rural communities served by the Community Radio Stations in Bangladesh. As for pilot basis, the project will be operated for one year, in 01 community Radio station -Radio Pollikantha 99.2 catchment area in MoulviBazar.
Community Radio Pollykantha 99.2 is initiated by BRAC and run by local management committee.One of the important reasons to select Station for piloting is their well managed station set up and prior experience in conducting English Language broadcasting Programs for the school children.
Community Radio Pollikantha 99.2 Station has got some active Radio Listeners Clubs. The program may be extended in other community radio listening areas in its next phase, considering its success and lessons learned.
In a globalized world, English language is becoming increasingly demanding due to its increasing use in our business and professional sectors. Through massive use of computer, internet and mobile phones in our day-to-day lives, in less than a decade, the English language has been placed as a significant language in our commoners' lives. However, this becomes a challenge for our rural people to comply with this rapid advancement. Our traditional education system and the curriculum used at secondary levels do not keep pace with this ever-increasing demand, particularly for our youth learners in rural areas. The problem has become much more critical due to gaps between educational systems of urban and rural society. There are un-ethical differences in curriculum and teaching styles.
