Reflection Paper

Before taking the course, I was expecting to learn some comparative grammar about
the Bangla and English language. Besides grammar practice, I was hoping to learn unique
types of grammar and some practical implications of it. I am glad I have learned many things.
The way I think of this, this course delivered me a lot in a good way. Although this was
meant for Bangla and English, we have had the opportunity to learn most of the technical
sides of the English language grammar. This course taught me far more than I had
anticipated. I enjoy the ways of instruction. Excellent resources were provided for this
training. In this training, I have picked up a lot of new knowledge.
Firstly, this course focuses on grammar and is taught uniquely in language instruction.
In my perspective grammar is difficult. In this course, the concepts, theories, and material
about teaching and understanding English grammar are introduced perfectly. After doing this
course, I have a critical understanding of the parallels and discrepancies between the different
grammar forms rhetorical vs. pedagogical in Bangla and English. As a result, I gained self-
assurance, creativity, and effectiveness in understanding and utilizing the tenets and concepts
of grammar in a variety of linguistic settings. Concepts like mechanical grammar, descriptive
grammar, and rhetorical grammar were truly effective in this course. Moreover, this course's
emphasis on comparative analysis between English and Bangla grammar serves as a bridge,
enabling us to appreciate the distinct features of each language while also facilitating a deeper
understanding of grammar universals and variations. Ultimately, this approach aims to
cultivate students' linguistic competence, allowing them to apply grammar principles with
increased proficiency and adaptability. This reflective analysis recognizes the importance of a
nuanced and comparative approach to teaching grammar. By fostering critical awareness and
exploring linguistic diversity, the course aims to empower us to become more adept at
understanding, appreciating, and applying the principles and philosophies of grammar in
diverse linguistic contexts.
Then, I enjoyed all the assignments that are given in this course. First of all, the
narratives also give me an idea of how someone learns grammar from childhood, and what
obstacles they faced while learning grammar. In addition, I also like the evolution of the text
where the rhetorical devices and mechanics of the English grammar. All the classes were
very effective and realistic. I have also experienced the grammar exam which was the fun
part of the course, and I think I kept getting to know about my strengths of grammar and also
lack of grammar. It also provides me with an idea about where I need to improve myself to
become a professional in Grammar.
Lastly, online posts are also effective in this course because through these I get more
knowledge about what my peers think about different concepts of grammar and this course. It
also increased my understanding of this course and also I got a chance to get feedback about
the different ideologies that I have presented in the online post. In terms of room for
improvement, I feel that the concept that we have learned in the class we need to use some
more Video content in this course to learn in a better way. And also there must be some
quizzes or exams added in this course to increase more understanding of some realistic
concepts about grammar and grammatical aspects.
Overall, To sum up, this grammatical comparison study between Bangla and English
has far above my expectations. It gave a thorough examination of grammar's intricacies along
with useful applied insights. Through a thorough investigation of many ideas, theories, and
instructional strategies, it greatly expanded my comprehension of the nuances of English
grammar. The emphasis on pedagogical and rhetorical grammar in both languages enabled a
critical examination of their similarities and differences, which increased my competence and
self-assurance in applying grammatical principles in a variety of linguistic contexts.
