My journey in TESOL

Human being is the only creature that can express his/her feelings, ideas, thinking through different way.Language is one of the way through which human being can express their thoughts and ideas. Interestingly human is the only creature who can talk and having words also. It distinguishes them from the animal and gives a unique identity towards the world. There are six thousands of languages in the world but sign language is only one. From the six thousand languages, English is one of the most popular and established language around the world.
According to Wikipedia English is a West Germanic Language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialects and was brought to England by Germanic invaders. After that English overcome hundred years of history to arrive in this state. Now it becomes essential language to the world to express thoughts as a first or second language. In British regime, English became indispensable part for the people of sub-continent because the ruler by the power propagated and institutionalized English. From then English is another language in fact accepted language for administrative purpose in our country. People of the world learn English not because they love English, they are learning English because it established itself as the language of the world.

Now the question arises why I am in TESOL? Especially I heard about the Program from my senior colleague. She was also the student of this program and she encouraged me to get admition in this program. On the other hand I am a Facilitator as well as a module developer of BRAC Learning Division, so it helps me for my professional development.  After getting admission in TESOL, it gives me an option to explore myself. Every day I am learning so many things that will help me to practice and implement in my training class. I do not want to mention a single course; all courses are precious for me. Though it becomes a very challenging situation for me, as because I am doing a job at the same time I have to do regular class with lots of activities, assignment and so on. But it also opens a door with huge opportunity to gather more knowledge and develop my carrier also.
