Journal Title: International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study critically analyses the teaching practices of English language in the context of Lasbela district, the southern district of Balochistan, a province of Pa¬kistan. The survey method was applied to collect data through classroom observa¬tion, Checklist and interview protocol from randomly selected secondary public schools in Lasbela district were applied. The research demonstrated that Trans¬lation Method of Teaching was adopted instead of Direct Method of Teaching. It also revealed that the manner of teaching the English Language was similar to the teaching of other subjects, such as Pakistan Studies, General Science. This teaching approach is teacher-centred and students are not provided with the opportunity of developing language skills through practice in classrooms. This research also identifies that the factors responsible for this approach of teaching the English language are lack of capacity building programs/courses for language teachers, overcrowded classrooms, teachers’ workload, poor infrastructure, exam¬ination system and inefficient monitoring mechanism. This study recommends that teachers of English language must be trained accordingly prior to embarking on the language teaching profession.
