I really like your conferences and lectures. I am a reader of Crossings. This university is doing a great job in English studies in Bangladesh undoubtedly. Thanks.

I had to miss Prof. Pennycook's session. Thank you very much for sharing the video. I was especially inspired to listen to his ideas/strategies for confronting the entanglements of global English at the end.
