The Development of English Language: Context Bangladesh

English stands as the most extensively spoken language globally, serving as a prominent international lingua franca. The language is Indo-European, which originated from the languages of the Germanic tribes Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. English gained this position in the world with the significant change in seven distinctive historical phases, including early ancient English (before the 5thcentury), Anglo-Saxon or ancient English (lasted around the 5 thcentury to the 9thcentury), post-ancient English (from the 9thcentury to the 12thcentury), Middle English (from the 12th century to the 15th century), Pre-Contemporary English (from the 15th century to the mid-18th century), Contemporary English (from the mid-18th century to the 20th century), and Post-Contemporary English (from the 20th century to the present). The purpose of writing this paper is to assist in the analysis of how the English language has developed in Bangladesh. There are two or more senses of the word ‘development’. This paper is going to be discussed in two different aspects of the word ‘development’ in two different parts: the first part is about the growth and the arrival history of the English language, while the second part discusses its enhancement and significance, where growth refers to how the English language came to Bangladesh and was developed through the British era, the Pakistan era, and the current independent status, and improvement refers to how the English language will be more exoteric and effective in Bangladesh. As the history and tradition regarding the English language are rich, English society and the language have a single supremacy in the management of the world. Therefore, it is not possible to improve the global market by disrupting the improvement concerning the English language. So, there is no other option to developing the English language to keep pace with the world.In this discussion paper, the above two important points are presented.
