    Influence of SSC examination on learning and teaching of English at secondary level in Bangladesh
    (BRAC University, 2023-10) Chowdhury, Amreen; Sultana, Asifa
    Language skills play a very important role to learn and teach English language. From different researches, researchers found that other than writing and reading skill, students lack to develop the speaking and listening skills in the SSC level. This research aims to figure out the influences of SSC examination on learning and teaching of English at secondary level in Bangladesh. The researcher focused to three central questions which are how do English tests affect test preparation and the everyday practice of teachers and learners, how do English tests have an impact on motivation, perceptions, and attitudes towards English language teaching and learning within secondary school education and does washback affect the teaching and learning scenario? By observing the literature review, very few researches are done focusing on the influences of learning and teaching in SSC level in the context of Bangladesh. Therefore, the research gaps are filled through this convergent parallel mixed method reseach. As students mainly focus on written examinations, it gets tough for them to connect with the real world. Additionally, students and teachers are always preparing for the SSC level, focusing on similar question patterns and teaching strategies.
