ABSTRACT
This research aims to investigate teachers' and students' perceptions of English teaching and learning practices in Bangladeshi madrasahs. This mixed methods research collects data using questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The participants of this research include students, teachers, and principals from several madrasahs in Khulna district. The study sought to uncover practical barriers related to infrastructure, curriculum, and societal issues. Additionally, it explored potential solutions to these challenges. The findings revealed that teaching-learning and technological aids as well as teachers are inadequate. Government should take necessary steps to overcome these obstacles. Additionally, economical problems in students must be solved, along with an effective teaching method must be followed by arranging training for the teacher.
