English Language Proficiency of Bangladeshi Students:A Pertinent Study

ELT-Individual and Social- Psychological Variables Related to Bangladeshi Students and Their Proficiency in ESL

Beschreibung

The main objective of the present study is to examine the relationship between different social psychological variables on the one hand and proficiency on the other. The author has found a significant correlation between scoring for exact responses versus acceptable included responses, suggesting the Cloze procedure would well be appropriate for use with non-native speakers. Except for the medium of instruction, resentment motivation and class-room anxiety, all other variables, namely age, sex, socio-economic status, exposure to English, schooling, attitude towards English-speaking Bangladeshis, attitude towards English, integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, manipulative motivation and parental support are significantly correlated with the Cloze scores. Cloze has shown a significant positive correlation with socio-economic status. This indicates that the learners who are from the lower rungs of society have not done well in the Cloze test even though they have a positive attitude towards English-speaking Bangladeshis and also have realized the importance of English in obtaining a better education and good jobs.
