Abstract

This article looks at the views of English language teachers regarding issues related to English language learning and teaching from the primary to the tertiary level in Bangladesh and tries to evaluate their views in the light of second language teaching theory and research. It is important that teachers should know the implications of their beliefs and their impact on classroom teaching and learning. It was found that some of their views conform to the conclusions drawn from second language teaching and learning research while others need to be modified.
