dc.description.abstract This is the era of globalization and English is the language of this globalizing process. It illustrates the interdependence of nations. English is the one and only language that operates as a medium to create deep interrelation between countries. So the importance of English can be assumed effortlessly. As a developing country Bangladesh needs to keep pace with the outside world. In order to do that our country depends on English because it is an international language. Almost all the official tasks are performed here in English along with Bangla. The need for using English is undeniable. English is widely used in every nook and corner of our country. Nowadays English and employability have become very closely related. Currently it seems that learning English has become vital to keep up interaction in this contemporary world. So it is essential to explore how English affects the way people get jobs. The intention of my study is to find out to what extent English communication skills and employability are connected. I will gradually demonstrate how English plays a very significant and vibrant role in getting employed. To find out if there is actually any relationship between English and employability, a survey was conducted to collect data. 202 respondents participated in the survey. A questionnaire was given to each of them and they filled it out with their experience. The survey was anonymous and it was conducted among students and job holders of different universities and government and private organizations. They also provided their valuable comments in the comments section about their perspective of getting jobs through English communication skills. Upon the analysis of the obtained data, the research findings indicate that English communication skills undoubtedly helps to get better jobs and knowledge of English increases employability. The study also gives a glimpse of our educational condition and the problems the students face in their learning period. The investigation concluded with recommendations for new measures, which will help students to overcome obstacles while learning English and it will also help them to get prepared for better jobs. en_US
