Abstract

Present Government of Bangladesh has taken a vow to transform underdeveloped Bangladesh to a developed one and it is moving forward with the slogan of ‘Digital Bangladesh’. Government of Bangladesh is determined to reshape the existing teaching-learning pattern in world-class mode by applying technology and curriculum renovation formula and it is quite clear from the National Education Policy 2010 published by the Ministry of Education. Bangladesh Government has put much emphasis on English language skill development at all the sectors of education. Our English curriculum is not learner-centered and nor does it take into account the market demand and stakeholders’ requirements. Now-a-days English graduates are opting for various professions in Bangladesh, but, to tell frankly, their curriculum is not preparing them to enter diverse professions. General objective of this research is to figure out a future career- oriented undergraduate English curriculum for sustainable development. To meet the goals of SDG (SDG-4) an updated curriculum plays a significant role and Bangladesh is working to materialize the SDG goals. This study follows qualitative approach and it is based on document analysis. This study looks into the existing undergraduate English curriculum in Bangladesh, makes an in-depth analysis, points out its shortcomings and finally proposes a technology-based, career-oriented, learner-friendly, skill-based curriculum. Curriculum theories and foundations of education have been taken into consideration. Moreover, English curricula of two universities of Nepal have been consulted. The policy makers and curriculum developers will find the findings of the study relevant.
