The paper thus consists of four segments of literature reviews based on some secondary data collected from contemporary online journals and books. In a brief overview, it can be said that the paper starts with an assessment of the role of teachers in case of prioritizing fluency over accuracy in our language classrooms. This is followed by a discussion on the common sorts of speaking activities which an ESL teacher is ought to follow to promote fluent speaking within the classroom contexts. After this, the second last section focuses on some basic problems which act as hindrances in case of teaching speaking communicatively; for example the negative impact of Bangladesh’s language based identity and its influence on teaching English Speaking. Lastly the paper sheds light on the controversial issue of whether it is even possible to teach speaking communicatively to our young school learners or not; and if so than to what extent is it actually possible. To be more specific about the goal of this paper, it can be said that it is trying to grab our language teachers’ attention towards the fact that they can play a very role promote in case of teaching speaking communicatively within the existing system. In other words, the paper is actually restating the fact again and again that it’s a “teacher” who can bring about a lot of communicative changes in the techniques and methods of teaching speaking even within these traditional classrooms if and only he/she wants.

This study has used mainly primary data and information collected from the survey of 300 floating population with the help of an interview schedule through quota-sampling technique has also been used in this study. To have performed the analysis Multiple Binary Logistic Regression Models along with as usual descriptive statistical tools and techniques have been applied in the study. The study revealed that 92 percent floating respondents had heard the name of HIV/AIDS but 52 percent floating respondents did not know the fearfulness of HIV/AIDS. TV (29%) was the most dominate source of hearing about HIV/AIDS. Respondents also knew that using condom during intercourse was only the safety way to avoid HIV/AIDS.

However, there was a real need for more and more studies on this regards. Thus, necessary action was to be taken to reduce the level of HIV/AIDS in the country in order to achieve better living conditions in future.
This paper attempts to examine the potential effect of macroeconomic variables on the downfall of loans. The data used in this study range from 2005 to 2014 and cover 22 commercial banks operating in Bangladesh. Failure of credit policy is measured with the rate of nonperforming loan (NPL) which indicates vulnerability of credit system in banking and financial industry. Several researches have been conducted in many countries where mix pattern of relationships has been found. In this research paper, four macroeconomic variables named GDP growth rate, inflation rate, interest rate spread of banking sector and rate of unemployment are tested with NPL ratio in order to ascertain significant relationship for commercial banks of Bangladesh. The result of econometric analysis revealed that NPL is negatively sensitive to inflation rate and interest rate spread and positively sensitive to GDP and unemployment rate.
Is it food shortage or food abundance which explains the transition from foraging to farming? The academic literature is divided. We use the notion of population pressure – defined as the ratio of population density over the stock of wild food resources – to answer this question. We demonstrate that the significant changes of the population pressure are only temporary and have asymmetric effects on hunter-gatherers’ behaviors. Food shortages increase population pressure but do not trigger the shift to agriculture. Indeed, the common property regime as well as the common sharing of resources and knowledge hinder any incentive to innovate and to produce more effort. On the contrary, food abundance induces the advent of exclusive property rights, the disappearance of sharing and therefore stimulates effort and innovation. Since food abundance is a feature of complex hunter-gatherer societies, the latter are more likely at the origin of the transition to agriculture.
This study aims at the study of newborn names in Jordan of a sociolinguistic perspective. This study tries to detect the difference in naming newborns in Jordan over the decades - from the seventies to 2015 due to the result of some factors that may have affected the Jordanian society, whether historical, religious and/or social. The data necessary to complete the study was obtained from the Civil Status Department and the Department of Statistics. The data obtained consisted of names of both sexes during the time period from the seventies until the early year of 2015, a random sample of personal names within the same family were also provided. The data was analyzed quantitatively. The study revealed that there is a clear change in the choice of newborn names - male and female - in Jordan, whether a change in sounds or in morphemes. In specific, names during the seventies were strongly linked to the culture and the values, religious or social, in which the people believed in. During the eighties and nineties, names were associated with certain social values, however, some names were shown to be affected by urbanization or modernization. And with the beginning of 2000 up to 2015, peoples directions towards naming newborns changed due to the advent of globalization, associating with development and urbanization, and moreover, the influence of different cultures on the community.
We introduce the notion of (α, φ, β) - weak generalized Geraghty contractions in complete partially ordered partial b - metric spaces via triangular α-admissible mappings. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points of such maps in complete partially ordered partial b - metric spaces with coefficient s ≥ 1, where φ is an altering distance function and β ∈ Ω where Ω = {β : (0,∞) → [0, 1) satisfying β(tn) → 1 ⇒ tn → 0}. Examples are provided to illustrate our results.

Why is teleology expected to understand and explain the evolution of human beings and for the ratiocination regarding their destiny’s finalization? Is it a rational attempt that the pensive minds tried to visualize the sequences of human history through a teleological lens, or is it merely an urge of the unsatisfied minds to justify and rationalize their ontology oriented investigation, where teleology is an intellectual vessel of self-satisfaction? This essay want to answer these questions glancing over both sociophilosophical teleology and faith oriented or religious teleology. In understanding the religious or faith oriented teleology, the essay will explore the Quaranic teleological arguments comparing with modern socio-philosophy oriented teleology, basically Marxism. Marx was the only European Social scientist, who tried to put forward a holistic sociological approach, which has a grand-narrative and a specific teleology and which is capable to project a total trajectory of its deterministic philosophy. The essay will investigate the Neoliberal ideology, the most dominant ideology of the West today, and try to see, whether it promotes any teleology or not. The essay will also go into the philosophy of Plato, who formed the base of the paradigmatic sequences of the Western thinking in the ancient Greece, whose impact is still visible and glaring in the Western world. The main purpose of this essay is to compare the teleological stand of the holy Koran and that of the all the relevant modern social philosophies from the critical analytical points and fathom out their basic differences. Hence the essay will underscore the Shiite cosmology to observe the courses of Islamic teleology. The relevant Gnostic philosophical stands will be evaluated in this article especially the Shiite Gnoses. As the writer has its own judgment to understand the Islamic teleology, the opinions will be established to bring the whole article before that kaleidoscope summarizing all the
