TESOL Society of Bangladesh is a platform for practitioners and aspiring English language teachers of all levels of education in Bangladesh with over 2500 members. The vision of the Society is to create a vibrant space for professionals working in the field of TESOL/ELT/Applied Linguistics and other allied disciplines to participate in constructive dialogue with one another on recent developments to strengthen the impact of the field in the community.

For the first time, the Association has initiated to publish a scholarly journal named TESOL Bangladesh Journal (TBJ) to bring together English language professionals from around the world to share, learn, and further English language teaching and research. It is a double-blind peer-review journal dedicated to enhancing and disseminating scholarly work from local, regional and international researchers and practitioners in TESOL and relevant disciplines. 

This very first issue of TBJ has attempted to promote TESOL research that mostly seems locally grounded, however, regionally, and internationally relevant. The issue has welcomed research studies that are relevant to TESOL in local context as well as broad regional and international topics representing a variety of cross disciplinary interests relevant to TESOL, Applied Linguistics and Language Education.  We are optimistic that the journal will contribute to the endogenous treatment of issues and subsequent development in the field by becoming the voice of the local practitioners, writers and most importantly readers.
