It has also presented the different conceptions and understanding of the meaning of CLT from the teachers’ viewpoints and has considered its future prospects in Bangladesh. In addition, it has shown what reading basically is and has investigated the tertiary level Bangladeshi students’ perceptions of the English reading skill. Finally, recommendations have been made for employing CLT more effectively in the Bangladeshi ELT/EFL classrooms with a view to enhancing English reading skills.
