Instructor Profile: Firoz Akanda has been teaching TERTIARY level English since 2015. He has three years of experience in teaching English at the university level, Dhaka. Currently, he teaches English at the University of Information Technology & Sciences (UITS). Additionally, he published a book titled “Text Evaluation” for university admission candidates.

Firoz has completed his M.A. in Applied Linguistics & ELT and B.A. (Hons) in English from the Department of English, University of Dhaka. From the very beginning of his university life, he was involved in various co-curricular activities. He and his volunteer team worked for making every departmental event successful. Programs like Shakespeare Fest, Lit Fest, study tours, and picnics became meaningful for his contribution.

He has always been interested to make the teaching techniques culture appropriate and more interactive for the learners to acquire all the four skills of the English language. He is very friendly with his learners and believes that it helps to create a meaningful learning environment. He also believes in needs analysis to figure out the shortcomings of the learners.

“Language teaching becomes more effective and interesting when the learners’ needs are evaluated, and they are being connected to the real-world situation. Therefore, I don’t think that one should always focus on only one specific method in teaching, rather various need-based methods & techniques should be focused on”, says Firoz. Over the last 4 years, many of his students got admitted themselves to different public universities. About this success, he believes that his focus on some specific skills as per the needs of the students helped him a lot.

Firoz also contributes to book translations and worked at Panjeree Publications (PBS) ltd. He translated many schools and college-level Bengali guidebooks to English.

He loves fishing and also cultivating them. He owns a small fish cultivation project in Tangail. He is a motorbike enthusiast too. The bike ride is his gateway to enjoying quality time.
