Abstract: In this paper, the method of combining two-layer fuzzy comprehensive evaluation with two-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is used to quantitatively evaluate the informatization level of colleges and universities, which in some certain extent can overcome the subjective assumptions in the process of evaluation. The empirical analysis shows that this model can be used to evaluate and analyze the level of information efficiency in colleges, which can explore a new way to evaluate the college education informationization level.

Abstract: English as a medium of instruction has been an expanding phenomenon among the non-formal schools catering in Bangladesh. This paper analyses the correlation between development milestones and second language acquisition in English medium preschools for non-English speaking learners in Bangladesh. Fieldwork was conducted over 2016–2017 academic year in 10 private English medium schools in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, and in the second biggest city, Chittagong. Data indicated that students who hardlyknow English wordsbefore starting school become well speaking students when they are in kindergarten at the age of 5. Kneading cognitive and language development milestones with specially designed curriculum play a great role in order to fortify the language learning. Teachers and students see teaching and learning in English in a structured setting as a worthwhile opportunity..
