The second season of “Nijey Nijey Shekha,” an educational reality show that helps learning English in an entertaining way, will start airing today on BTV. Like the first season, the show will explore the English learning journeys of people from all walks of life across the country. The eight-episode reality show will be on air every Saturday at 7:20pm, repeated on Monday at 8:35am.
The BBC Media Action show follows real people as they work to overcome their fears of learning. The participants have just three days to learn enough English to face a real-life challenge. People featured in this second series include a migrant worker from Barishal, a metal crafts entrepreneur from Dhamrai, a flower cultivator from Jessore, a woman making and selling handicrafts in Dhaka, a dry fish seller in Cox’s Bazar, a Jamdani weaver in Songargaon and an IT professional from Bogra.
New elements are added to the show as the first episode will revisit the eight participants from the previous season, to see whether they have managed to continue learning and practising English; and whether their lives have changed.
Richard Lace, Head of Project, English in Action, BBC Media Action, said: “I strongly believe that the show will continue to inspire viewers all over the country to take up their own English learning challenge to help them do better in their jobs and wider lives.”
“Nijey Nijey Shekha” is a part of an array of learning materials available from BBC Janala.
