We are proud to share that Tanvir Mustafa, an ELT student of Batch 251, has successfully published his dissertation research in a peer-reviewed international journal! He was supervised by Assistant Professor Shahnaz Akter in the course titled ELT 698: Dissertation.

📄 Paper Title: Enhancing ESL Vocabulary Acquisition through AI-Based Learning Systems
📰 Journal: Artificial Intelligence in Educational Decision Sciences (Vol. 1, No. 1, February 2026)
🔗 https://journal.abcollab.id/index.php/AIEDS/article/view/38

The paper examines how AI-driven platforms can support adaptive, personalized, and multimodal vocabulary learning for ESL students — a contribution that bridges theory and practice in meaningful ways.

This remarkable achievement reflects both Tanvir's dedication, intellectual curiosity, hard work and the strength of our ELT program's research culture.

The Department of English warmly congratulates Tanvir on his achievement and wishes him continued success in his future endeavors.
