Research Paper Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program entitled “English\u00a0in Action (EIA)”, 9 year period DFID funded project in Bangladesh, was launched in 2008, for the desire to bring a change in the learning of\u00a0English\u00a0language. EIA works to reach a total of 25 million primary and secondary students and adult learners through communicative language\u00a0learning techniques and the use of\u00a0ICT, textbooks and supplementary materials in an innovative way. The project has been running, with the help of BBC World Service Trust and BBC Learning\u00a0English, the program entitled “BBC Janala”, an initiative that is providing\u00a0English\u00a0language lessons to citizens via their mobile phones as part of the wider\u00a0English\u00a0in Action program in Bangladesh. Survey research found that women are particularly interested in learning by mobile (especially given its “any time, any place” nature). That means, it is absolutely being implemented as a non-formal education (NFE) under the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode what is known as Open Non-formal Education (ONFE). BBC Janala allows Bangladeshis to access short (2-3 minute) audio lessons through a simple voice call by calling a four digit short code. The program has been a real challenge as it has the ability to address the need of students with an effective integration of ICT\u00a0to support learning. This paper discusses how one increasingly ubiquitous\u00a0ICT\u00a0device–the mobile phone–has become increasingly relevant to learners in Bangladesh, in various ways and contexts.<\/p>\n
