Language connects.Education transforms.
English should be taught as a language to live and use, not a list of rules to memorise.
Why we started GLBOur classes complement the national Bengali curriculum through conversation, games and practical activities. Students develop their ability to express themselves in English and use the language beyond the classroom.

Built across Bangladesh and Europe.
GLB brings together educators, university students and volunteers across Bangladesh and Europe, with responsibilities shaped by where the expertise sits.
Work within communities
Our programs are developed within schools and organisations already connected to the students and families they work with.
Teach through a shared model
Bangladesh-based educators lead the educational approach, curriculum and classroom implementation, working alongside volunteers who contribute to regular conversation-focused English classes.
Track what happens
Attendance, student progress and feedback from teachers help us understand what is working and continuously improve the program.
Three ways in
Confidence first, grammar second
Our classes are taught by volunteer teachers, many of them university students in Bangladesh, and are designed around conversation, interaction and practical use of English.
- Bilingual instruction so no one is left behind
- Monthly teacher training, one skill at a time
- A lightweight system to track real progress
From the classroom
Our teachers write up the days as they happen, a lesson that landed, one that didn’t, and what the students did with it.
