Abstract: This study examines the goals and achievements of Intensive Language Courses (ILC) at Private Universities in Bangladesh. It focuses on how the students develop four linguistic skills— the art of critical reading, elegant writing, fluent speaking, and empathic listening; their performance in appearing for the examination and professionally dealing with the public audience. It also emphasizes how effectively the learners acquire communicative competence in English and the challenges they face in learning it. The researcher has followed the descriptive method for collecting qualitative and quantitative data. Besides, the researcher has employed questionnaires and interview methods to determine the objectives, findings, and limitations of ILC. The paper highlights the expert suggestions to learners and why they must follow the ILC to foster a strong local, regional and global network; develop professionalism in academic, corporate, and social life. Finally, based on the findings, the study intends to provide recommendations to ensure the effective implementation of ILC at Private Universities in Bangladesh.
