Gazi Mohd Shakil Imtiaz Fahad

I am a Tenured Lecturer in the Department of English at Mawlana Bhashani Science & Technology University, Bangladesh. I completed my Master of Arts in TESOL and Bachelor of Arts Honors in ESOL from Dhaka University, Bangladesh. My research examines digital literacy, technology-enhanced language teaching, and teacher self-efficacy in tertiary ELT contexts. I combine mixed-methods fieldwork with classroom interventions to produce evidence that directly informs pedagogy and policy. My recent work includes the peer-reviewed study Digital Literacy and Self-Efficacy of English Language Teachers in South Asia (2025). My work blends classroom-facing pedagogy with applied research to improve teacher self-efficacy and student outcomes.

Education

Masters of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
University of Dhaka
MA Thesis: Technology in English Language Teaching and Learning at Tertiary Level Education in Bangladesh: Challenges and Opportunities

Research Project Duration: June 2023 – January 2024

Examined current practices, perceptions, and constraints around using technology in tertiary English language teaching in Bangladesh. Based on surveys, interviews, focus groups and classroom observations, it identifies key access and training gaps and proposes a pragmatic integration plan that emphasizes teacher development, improved infrastructure, learner-centered digital materials, and phased assessment through an LMS.

Supervisor: Dr. Shaila Sultana

Bachelor of Arts Honors in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
University of Dhaka
BA Thesis: Impact of Multiple Intelligences on English Language Classrooms in Tertiary Education

Research Project Duration: January 2021 – September 2021

This qualitative study examines how Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences framework is used in Bangladeshi tertiary English classrooms. Drawing on interviews with faculty and focus groups of students, it finds MI-informed activities (notably visual-spatial) boost engagement, while limited training, materials, classroom space, and AV resources hinder full implementation. It recommends targeted teacher training, modest tech upgrades, and MI-aware materials.

TESTIMONIALS

Professor Iffat Ara Nasreen Majid

Faculty | Syllabus Designer | Material Developer
I have seen Fahad work through both straightforward and difficult projects, and the common thread is his consistency. He may not call attention to himself, but his work speaks quietly for him — careful, organised, and delivered when it’s needed. Fahad doesn’t get discouraged easily; he’s willing to work through problems and find a way forward. It’s a quality that makes him dependable in the long run.

Associate Professor Sabrina Ahmed Chowdhury

Faculty | Head of the Department
What I appreciate about Fahad is his steady way of getting things done. He stays focused, manages his time well, and doesn’t overcomplicate matters. Even when the workload is heavy, he keeps his approach simple and practical. He always makes sure his part is completed efficiently and smoothly.
