Two students and an alumnus from the Department of English, University of Asia Pacific (UAP), proudly represented UAP at the 1st National Students Conference 2025, organized by the Department of English at Gopalganj University of Science and Technology on February 14, 2025. The conference themed The Interplay of Language, Literature, and Society: Youth Perspectives, provided a platform for young scholars to engage in critical discussions and share their academic insights.

Among approximately 200 submitted proposals from universities across Bangladesh, a research proposal by two students of the English Department, UAP, was selected to be presented at this prestigious conference. UAP takes great pride in the fact that its students secured a place in the highly competitive selection process, reflecting the department’s commitment to academic excellence and research.

Md. Sajid Hossain, a third-year student of the English Department, UAP, presented a paper titled Enhancing EFL Students’ Engagement: The Integration of New Media Literacy (NML) in Blended Learning. The paper, co-authored by Sheikh Sidratul Muntaha, a fourth-year student of the same department, explores the role of students' proficiency in New Media Literacy (NML) and its direct impact on engagement within Blended Learning Environments. Their research was guided and supervised by the Head of the Department, Takad Ahmed Chowdhury.

In addition to the student presenters, Imamul Mottakin, an alumnus of the Department who is currently pursuing his studies at Nalanda University, India, also participated in the conference. He presented his paper titled Understanding World Literature: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Drawing upon Zhendou’s essay, his research delves into various interdisciplinary approaches to interpreting and appreciating world literature.

The participation of UAP students and alumni in this national-level academic event demonstrates the Department’s strong academic foundation and research-oriented approach. Their contributions to the conference not only enriched scholarly discussions but also highlighted the dynamic engagement of UAP scholars in contemporary literary and linguistic discourses.
