Md Soleman Haque Milon of Adcomm Ltd conducted the programme. Addressing the function, senior teachers Md Zakaria and Shafiqul Islam said the learning techniques shown in the language fair are helpful for both the students and teachers as picking up a language is enjoyable and more effective than learning a language through a lot of effort.
