Drawing on research analysing perceptions of English in rural Bangladesh, the paper explores the ideological and practical issues involved in the promotion of English in this context, with respect to the language's former and current associations with colonial and imperialist agendas, and the politico‐cultural situation of present‐day Bangladeshi society. The analysis – which is underpinned by a blending of world Englishes and postcolonial theory – reveals how dominant discourses of English as a language of global opportunity persist in these rural communities, despite the limited opportunities for using the language or developing proficiency in it. By representing these ‘subaltern’ views on English in what is an under‐researched context, the paper offers critical insights into the impact of English‐language education on rural Bangladeshis’ social prospects, communities and cultural identities.

English has been an integral part of Bangladesh education system since her independence in 1971. The process of globalization has transformed the lives of million in the developing world like Bangladesh. The rise of globalization has also meant a growing awareness of the use of English and its possible impact on the lives of people. However, there has not been adequate research conducted which could find a direct link between English and empowerment. The role of English and its impact on the socio-economic growth of individuals didn"t get much attention. Moreover, there has been inadequate attention to understanding of the relationship between English and its role on women"s empowerment in rural community. With this background this study is an attempt to contribute to our understanding of the socio-economic orientation of women by analyzing the impact of English in Bangladesh through a qualitative approach. It provides a useful understanding of the need for English language in specific areas of work. Based on such needs, it will attempt to provide insights for the planning of sustainable intervention strategies for the development of English language skills for women in Bangladesh.

It is one of the very few ethnographic studies on the English language in Bangladesh that was carried out to explore the usage of the English language in the rural context of the country. It is hard to design life-oriented and suitable materials and practicaloutcome- based English curricula to support an effective national education policy to develop the economic capacity of the rural people without in-depth studies about the usage and necessity of the English language and skills. A remote rural area of Bangladesh was explored through qualitative ethnographic methods and tools, such as ethnographic participant observation, individual and group interviews, open discussions, photography, audio and video recording, etc. The interviews with fifty-seven research participants were transcribed and thematically analysed to explore the major themes regarding the presence and roles of English in the research site. Based on the findings, the major themes and patterns about the necessity and prospect of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) as well as a tool of socio-economic development and the present domains of usage of English have been presented in this paper. The findings have suggested specific directions for modifications of the English textbooks to make English education and learning at the primary and secondary levels more productive in real life in rural settings.
