Measures of Designing an English Language Course for Teachers of Madrassas (Religious Schools)

Abstract

English being an international language is really a good source of

communication and instruction. The new dimensions of communication,

teaching and learning with ever-changing demands of the masses have

made English a need of the day. The students of all departments must be

proficient in English language to achieve the desired goals. The present

research highlights the importance of English language for the teacher of

Madrassas (religious schools in Islam). The researchers have examined

various Madrassas and found the teachers of these Madrassas are not well-

acquainted with the language of the world. So they are not able to convey

their thoughts at international level. The researchers evaluated the syllabus

of these Madrassas and finally discovered that the present syllabus was

missing an adequate course of English language. This research article has

especially been written as a guideline for designing an English language

course for the teachers of Madrassas on experimental basis. The research

ends with a proposed English language course on English for specific

purpose (ESP) basis to enhance the expertise of the teachers of Madrassas

in English.
