English is taught as a foreign language at every level of education in Bangladesh. The present paper aimed at examining the present scenario of the practice of EFL research at the tertiary level in Bangladesh and to find out the causes and impacts of it on the total educational system as well as the learners‟ future development. The study was conducted using Mixed Method Approach including teachers‟ interview, students‟ questionnaire and curriculum analysis. It was found that a large number of students from the department of English graduated without conducting any research work and a number of the students who conducted the research work were not properly guided to undertake the research journey as per the expected level. Findings also showed that no student had publication and a number of teachers were also found having very poor interest in publication. It was suggested that emphasize should be given on implementing mandatory research methodology and practice courses, allocating teachers with research experience and motivating teachers and students in research work with funding as well.
