Reading is fun and entertaining and also a tool for language learning. One of the best ways of learning English or any language is by reading literature. To give the opportunity of reading world literature in English in a simplified way, British Council Resource Centre (BCRC) runs Book Reading Competition for interested university students through following activities:

 

• The competition will be on three levels. Students will start from level 1 and then complete the other two one after another.
• There will be a set of 6 selected books for each level (see the reading list).
• Students need to take individual membership to take part in the competition which will cost Tk. 200/- for each student for each level.
• The duration of the competition will be for 3 months for each level.

Prizes for the Winners

• The participants who will score at least 40% in the assessment will get attractive prizes and Certificate from British Council.
• The highest scorer of the University will get free English language classes at British Council and next 5 scorers will get free membership of our Resource Centre.
