Topics and themes have been selected in a way that would not only help students address the needs of reallife situctions, but would olso inculcate human values. in them as well as broaden their mental horizon. Grammar points and planned activities to develop students’ competence in all four language skills have been presented within contexts in a systematic and graded way. The ‘English for Teday’ textbook is accomponied by a Teacher's Edition, However, we are aware that to conduct teaching and learning of English most effectively and fruitfully, particularly at the primary stage the textbook needs to be complemented with audio-visual materials. We sincerely hope to do so in the near future. Curriculum development is a continuous process. Textbook is developed based on curriculum. To make the young learners interested, enthusiastic and dedicated, Bangladesh Awami League Government under the dynamic leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken initia- tives to change the textbooks into four colours, and make interesting, sustainable and distributed free of cost since 2009. The distribution of text- books for all Students of Pre-primary, Primary, Secondary, Ibtediae, Dhakil, Dhakhil Vocational and 5.S.C Vocational level have been taken free of cost across the country which is a historical initiative of the present government. Inthis continuation, NCTB has developed and printed textbooks with quality papers and four colours illustration according to revised curriculum within a short time in this year as well It is to be mentioned here that this textbook was tried out during the school calender year of 2013 in 32 Government primary schools in different locations throughout the country te ensure its apprapriateness to the students. The contents and the illustrations have been refined based on the feedback of the try-out and on critical review. | offer my sincere thanks te all concemed in this complex and significant process. Lalso sincerely thank all who have been involved with the production and publication of this textbook.
