The secondary level poses to be the most important tier of education sector as it builds the foundation of other tiers. English stands as the most important subject in this level, which remains actually untreated in Bangladesh. Recently it has started receiving attention from the relevant corners in different forms.

Language experts say an English teacher must have the ability and quality to speak English well to conduct an English class effectively and communicatively. Negligence of teaching in the secondary level, poor salary of the teachers, social attitude towards teachers, repugnance to go to rural areas by better candidates, producing graduates without giving them the necessary knowledge of English can be attributed to poor quality English teaching in the secondary level.
The concept of English teaching has changed quite a lot. In earlier times a silent class fully controlled by the teacher concerned appeared to be the most successful and effective  class.  But the research unveils the fact that students remaining passive in the class obtain only ten- percent benefit from the class. Whereas, students using their arms, tongue, brain, mind and intelligence obtain ninety percent benefit from the class. Necessarily this sort of classes seems to be noisier than the earlier ones I mean the passive  classes. The more students will be involved in the activities, the more they will be benefited. An English teacher must be well acquainted with this sort of class and classroom management. He/she must have the knowledge and idea to put the students in the groups and pairs and practice chain drill to involve all the students in different activities.

It is the new initiative of BRAC to develop the trained English teachers into trainers. It is based on the theory of “The mother who gives birth to a child knows best the pain of childbirth”. This initiative has sparked a hope and enthusiasm among the rural secondary English teachers. To speak the truth, we have discovered the hidden potentialities among these teachers who received training from BRAC. These teachers dared not speak English before the audience before  receiving training but now they have started speaking English and in this way they have started exposing their hidden talents which can be utilized in the greater interest of the nation. This is not a mere talk but can be implanted very practically.

Post Primary Basic And Continuing Education( PACE) Programme has so far trained twenty eight hundred Rural Secondary English Teachers. Out of these teachers ninety teachers have been so far (July 2005) idenitified as potential teachers on the basis of their speaking ability with accuracy, subject knowledge, familiarity with training materials, attitude and behavior and length of service.
