ABSTRACT: In this modern world of technological epoch, computer is being used largely in all walks of life. Education is also enjoying the full advantages of using computer. Specially, in the present post covid-19 era, computer is playing multiple roles in the sector of education. Bangladesh has also paid a grand welcome to the computer in the educational system of the country. It is notable that Bangladesh being an EFL country has made English a compulsory subject from the very elementary level of education. However, it is unfortunate that Bangladeshi students are still deprived of explicit teaching of English listening and speaking skills which are two essential language skills. The aim of this paper is to explore the perceptions of the secondary school teachers of rural Bangladesh regarding the implementation of computer aided listening and speaking class. This study would investigate the rural school teachers’ perceptions about the use of computer for English language teaching in the classroom. Also, this paper would focus on how computers can be utilized for teaching English listening and speaking skills in the context of rural Bangladesh. This study would take qualitative research approach where participants would be interviewed for collecting data. After interpreting the result, it has been found that though the teachers acknowledge that use of computers in the classrooms is a demand of this present age, they are not motivated to use computer in their classrooms because of various unfavorable contexts. Also, teachers could not demonstrate any particular plan to use computers in their classrooms to teach listening and speaking skill which indicates gap in their knowledge of computer assisted teaching.
