An exhibition on “ELT Materials” was held April 20-21, 2013 in the lobby of ULAB's Campus A. Students of the course Eng 344: Materials Development displayed their self-produced EFL materials.

In order to prepare their materials students took help from authentic sources (materials from poems, stories, songs, internet, newspaper which are not prepared for teaching purposes) and they used different approaches and frameworks to prove themselves as real material writers. Their target audience was different levels of learners who study in different public and private universities. The students will be pitching their materials to an assessor as part of their assessment for the course.

The exhibition was conducted to provide critical feedback to the students of Materials Development; to test the student's ability to defend their materials from criticism; (c) to provide  constructive suggestions on how to improve their materials; and (d) to determine whether the materials should be approved or needs further revision.

The play represents the autocracy and torture of emperors on women three hundred years ago. The cry, the sufferings, and the curse of the concubines still re vibrates in the walls and rooms of the palace of Nawab Mahmud Shah. A tax collector goes there and is haunted by the cries of the women imprisoned there for the pleasure of the Nawab which makes him insane and ultimately drives him away from there. He re-tells the story to some young travelers in a railway station on the present day to revisit the past in flashback.

With light, music and dance the story became alive on the stage with the brilliant performance of Sharif Sajid Hossain playing the role of the tax collector through whose eyes the past haunts the present. The  haughty Nawab was played by Abdullah Al Morshed Mishu. Shabnam Rahman Shondhi, Mehjabeen Fariat Nabila, Nure Tamanna Shanto, Kazi Sadia Zafran Ripti, and Sadia Zaman played the role of the concubines.
