Molla Azizur Rahman
Associate Professor

I am an Associate Professor and primarily interested in the acquisition/learning of second/foreign language among students, particularly those growing up in a bilingual/multilingual environment. I have been teaching English language and literature at several private and public universities in Bangladesh since 2007. After joining Khulna University as a lecturer in 2008, I have supervised more than 50 undergraduate and postgraduate students who successfully completed their project/thesis. I obtained BA (Honours) in English in 2005 and MA in English from Khulna University securing 1st Position in 2007. I have published several research articles in peer-reviewed international journals, Studies in English Language and Education (Q1) and The IUP Journal of English Studies (Q2), which are indexed in Scopus (Elsevier). My recent co-authored research article has been published in Plos One, a Q1 Journal, which is indexed in both Scopus and Web of Science.
