ABSTRACT Fuelled by nationalism, public universities in Bangladesh adopted Bangla as their MOI. In contrast, considering the role of English in the processes of internationalization, globalization and economic benefit attached to English, private universities in Bangladesh have adopted English as their MOI. Through the exploration of lecturers’ MOI ideologies, the present study aims to discover these diverse trajectories in the adoption of MOI policies in public and private universities in Bangladesh. The study was conducted at two research sites in the district of Dhaka – a local public university (UPB) and a private university (UPR). Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews conducted with five social sciences lecturers from UPB and four social sciences lecturers from UPR. The findings suggest that MOI policies in public and private universities in Bangladesh are non-identical and individual language ideologies have played a vital role in the adaptation of such policies.

孟加拉国公立和私立大学的独特教学理念

摘要 在民族主义的推动下，孟加拉国的公立大学采用孟加拉语作为教学语言。相比之下，考虑到英语在国际化、全球化和与英语相关的经济利益过程中的作用，孟加拉国的私立大学都采用英语作为教学语言。通过探索讲师的教学语言意识形态，本研究旨在发现孟加拉国公立和私立大学在采用教学语言政策方面的这些不同轨迹。该研究是在达卡区的两个研究地点进行的——一所当地公立大学 (UPB) 和一所私立大学 (UPR)。数据是通过对来自 UPB 的五名社会科学讲师和来自 UPR 的四名社会科学讲师进行的半结构化访谈收集的。
