This study examines the educational challenges faced by Mymensinghia students, who speak the Mymensinghia dialect and are educated through the Assamese medium, with a focus on their English language learning experiences over the past thirty years. The research explores two key historical aspects: the evolution of English Language Teaching (ELT) policies in Assam and their impact on Mymensinghia students, and the effectiveness of government initiatives aimed at promoting English language acquisition for minority groups. Through analysis of government reports, educational documents, and firsthand accounts from students and educators, this study aims to identify persistent barriers and propose recommendations for improving English education for Mymensinghia students in Assam.
