Emran Emon named among South Asia’s influential columnistsFeature Desk: Prominent journalist, columnist and global affairs analyst Emran Emon has been listed among South Asia’s most influential columnists—alongside some of the subcontinent’s most celebrated intellectuals and literary figures.The prestigious lineup includes India’s Shashi Tharoor, Arundhati Roy, P. Sainath, Barkha Dutt, Ravish Kumar and Ramachandra Guha; Pakistan’s I.A. Rehman, Kamila Shamsie, Huma Yusuf and Mohsin Hamid; Sri Lanka’s Rohini Mohan and Dayan Jayatilleka, and Nepal’s Kanak Mani Dixit. Other Bangladeshis on this list include Syed Badrul Ahsan, Mahfuz Anam and Afsan Chowdhury. Recently, a Google statistical report published these findings.What makes this achievement remarkable is that Emran Emon is the youngest columnist on the list, representing Bangladesh with intellectual distinction and moral clarity at a time when the region’s journalistic integrity and freedom of expression face renewed tests.Reflecting on this milestone, Emran Emon said with characteristic humility: “To see my name—especially as the youngest—stand beside these globally acclaimed intellectuals, representing Bangladesh, is nothing short of a lifetime honor. I do not take pride in my name alone; my pride lies in the word ‘Bangladesh‘ that stands beside it.”Over the past few years, Emran Emon has emerged as one of South Asia’s most incisive and fearless voices. Earlier, Emran Emon was listed in the Hindustan Times’ HT Syndication list of South Asia’s best writers. Foreign Policy magazine quotes Emran Emon as “Influential Regional Voice.” His columns—often marked by analytical depth, historical grounding, and literary resonance—have examined critical global and regional questions: from the shifting balance of power in Asia and the digital sovereignty debate, to climate justice, press repression, and the moral crises of modern governance.Scholars and fellow writers have described him as a “writer of conscience and conviction,” whose work bridges the worlds of politics, literature, and ethics. His pieces, published in both English and Bengali, have gained widespread readership across South Asia and the global diaspora.An editor of an influential English daily noted: “Emran Emon’s inclusion is more than personal success—it’s a national moment as well as a matter of pride for Bangladesh itself. He represents a generation of Bangladeshis who think globally but remain deeply rooted in the moral soil of 1971. His pen carries both intellect and integrity. Emran Emon has always been a nationalist writer who writes against the current. The bold and fearless pieces he has written—born of a deep sense of Bangladeshi nationalism—stand as a priceless asset to the nation.”

Mots-clés: Langue maternelle, méthodes interactives, technologies innovantes, efficacité de l’enseignement, pensée créative, compétence communicative IntroductionIn the modern educational process, the role of interactive and innovative methods in developing students’ knowledge, skills, and personal potential is steadily increasing. Especially in teaching the native language, these approaches play a significant role. Interactive methods (role plays, problem situations, group discussions) transform students from passive listeners into active participants, developing their speech culture and creative thinking abilities.
Furthermore, the use of modern information and communication technologies makes it possible to present learning materials interactively and visually, encouraging students to engage actively with the topic. This contributes to the deepening of writing and speaking skills in the native language, fostering personalized learning and the development of creative thinking.
Main Part
Through the use of advanced pedagogical technologies, modern information and communication tools, and interactive methods in education, it becomes possible to develop students’ speech culture, independent thinking, and creativity. The main tasks in this process include stimulating verbal activity, strengthening analytical thinking, and supporting creativity. This encourages students to learn actively, express their opinions freely, think critically, and find creative solutions.
One of the urgent issues today is improving the quality of education and providing students with effective learning. To achieve this, teachers are required to use interactive methods appropriately and arouse learners’ interest. At the same time, teachers must constantly work on self-development and explore new interactive techniques. An interactive method is an activity in which learners cooperate, exchange ideas, and solve problems collectively through communication and discussion. Its main advantage lies in the fact that it teaches students to think independently and prepares them for real life. Interactive methods are learner-centered approaches that activate and motivate learners to think independently. The teacher’s role is to encourage participation, while the learner remains actively engaged throughout the process.
The benefits of learner-centered approaches are as follows: Learning becomes more effective; Learners are highly motivated; Previously acquired knowledge is taken into account; The learning process is aligned with the learner’s goals and needs; Initiative and responsibility are encouraged; Learning through practice is emphasized; Two-way feedback is promoted.
Thus, the use of interactive methods in the teaching process has its own characteristics. Careful study and application of each interactive method in practice broaden students’ thinking and positively affect their ability to solve problems effectively. It increases creativity and activeness. When theoretical and practical problems are analyzed through interactive methods, students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies deepen and expand.
Interactive teaching methods can be classified as follows:1️⃣ Interactive methods: Case study, Brainstorming interview, Modeling, Creative work, Problem-based learning, etc.2️⃣ Interactive teaching strategies: Brainstorming, Boomerang, Gallery, Zigzag, Step-by-step, Snowball, Rotation, etc.3️⃣ Interactive graphic organizers: Fishbone diagram, K-W-L (BBB), Concept table, Venn diagram, T-chart, Insert, Cluster, Why?, How? And others.
In addition, organizing native language lessons based on pedagogical technologies and using interactive methods such as Pair work, Small group work, Tree solution, Incomplete sentence exercise, Wheel of fortune, Find the wrong word, Mixed information, Alphabet, Scales, Lotto, Black box, helps enhance learning effectiveness. For instance, the “Wheel of Fortune” (Charxpalak) method is designed to help students recall previous topics, think logically, answer questions independently, assess themselves, and allows the teacher to evaluate all students’ knowledge in a short time. The activity can be used at the beginning or end of the lesson, during topic reinforcement, or for formative and summative assessment. Students work in groups, receive instructions, and exchange task sheets in a circular “wheel” manner. Each group builds on the ideas of others until the topic is completed. Correct answers are scored, and total points determine achievement levels.
Conclusion
The use of interactive and innovative methods in the educational process plays an important role in increasing students’ learning motivation, developing independent thinking skills, and enabling them to express their opinions freely.
