The aim of this paper is to find the causes behind poor performance in English subject of the primary students of Bangladesh. Data derived from both primary and secondary sources while primary data were collected through in-depth interview and informal discussions from primary school-teachers, students and their parents. Findings revealed that among the four language skills, students were the weakest in writing skill. Respondents opined that English teaching-learning process in classroom was not appropriate and, thus, students got less interest to learn English. A fear in English among the students was also responsible for their poor performance.
