The study revolves around the analysis of the efficiency of instructional language, i.e. the mother tongue, regional language, national language and international language in developing the cognition of the students relating to the subject of science at elementary level. For this study, a private school was selected through purposive sampling, where the students had a background of a diverse range of mother tongues including Urdu, Sindhi, Balochi, Pushto and Punjabi.
