Abstract
Language teaching and learning materials should involve resources that align with learning goals for students and adaptable to different learning contexts. Effective language materials should have engaging content, clear structure, and relevant activities that cater to different levels of learners’ language proficiency. In this study, the researcher wanted to investigate the relevance and the sufficiency of the materials used in EFL classrooms at the private universities in Bangladesh. The researcher has conducted the questionnaire survey with 60 experienced teachers from fifteen private universities located in Dhaka city. SPSS 26.0 was used to analyse quantitative data elicited from the survey. The study has found that, for various reasons, adequate, relevant, authentic and adapted materials are unavailable to the teachers and the students involved in EFL education in this sector. The researcher suggests some measures to be taken to solve the problems related to the unavailability of EFL teaching learning materials in this level of EFL Education.
