LPC is a private Language Institute set up in 1998 with a view to providing a forum for underprivileged segment of the student community in Dhaka to learn communicative English. In 2008 LPC expanded its network to cover Chittagong followed by Rajshahi in 2009. The American Center rightly determined that in Bangladesh, Islamic religious schools, commonly known as Madrasahs are the most ignored inst
itutes where use of English is almost negligible. The students generally come from highly disadvantaged background, where they can ill afford the cost of tuition fee for any such courses. LPC shares the belief with the American Center, that by preferring to go for Madrasah students, they will not only be exposed to a completely new environment, but also, more importantly, new windows of opportunity will open up for the enterprising ones. It was an option well taken in the end as it paid off fruitful dividends. LPC with its experienced group of resource persons, presently numbering thirteen and state of the art teaching tools offer a wide ranging of courses which include communicative English course, spoken Arabic, spoken Bangla and Basic Computer skill courses, TOEFL, SAT and IELTS. While most private language institutes have courses ranging from three months to six months, LPC has English language courses ranging from three months to two years. The courses are designed to cater to the different need of the course participants.
