English Language Competence of Mass Communication Graduates
Journal Title: SPRY CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Journalists in Pakistan require to have adequate know-how and a good command over the English language in order to become able to perform their duties more appropriately to the satisfaction of their employers as well as their readers. Research Aim: This study investigates the English language skills of mass communication graduates in Pakistan. The study fills a gap as there has been no previous research in this area. Methodology: This descriptive-exploratory research uses a semi-structured interview technique to get information from teachers and former students of the mass communication department of a public sector university in Karachi and to know the opinions of media professionals about the graduates of this institute. Findings: The outcomes drawn from the research indicated that there is a significant disconnect between what the news industry needs and what mass communication teachers are producing. The study concludes that there is a need for specific English language courses for mass communication students to prepare them adequately for the profession.
