ABSTRACT
This book tries to grapple with some of the issues that face a teacher of English in a post-colonial nation. A teacher of English in Bangladesh has to consider not only its status as a language of colonisation and imperialism, but also the somewhat anomalous position that English occupies in a state based on a notion of linguistic nationalism. The relationship between language and identity, in such a historical conjuncture and context, is mediated and refracted by many elements.
