Teaching of Grammar

How To Teach Grammar Grammar is one of the core components of language, and it plays a crucial role in communication, comprehension, and expression. However, there is an ongoing debate among language teachers and researchers about how grammar should be taught in the classroom. Should grammar be taught explicitly, with clear rules and explanations, or implicitly, through exposure and practice? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each approach? How can teachers balance the need for accuracy and fluency in their students' language use? In our academic context, explicit grammar teaching is practised in English language classes from grade one to undergraduate education. I can safely claim that despite repetitive teaching of the same language forms and rules, many students fail to master English language skills. I will explore these questions and discuss the importance of grammar teaching in the current English language teaching pedagogy. I will also provide some practical tips and ex...

21st Century Skills for Pakistan

21st Century Skills  The 21st century is a time of rapid change and innovation, and teachers need to equip their students with the skills and competencies to thrive in a complex and uncertain world. Teaching and pedagogical skills are the abilities and strategies that teachers use to facilitate learning and foster student engagement, motivation, creativity, and critical thinking.  Pakistan's population is approximately 230 million people.

The World Bank reports that Pakistan's gross enrolment ratio (GER)...

Reading Habits and Benefits

Reading is one of the most popular and beneficial activities people can engage in. Reading can improve knowledge, vocabulary, creativity, critical thinking, and mental health. However, reading habits vary widely across regions and countries, depending on culture, education, book access, and digital literacy. I am sharing exciting trends and statistics about reading habits worldwide based on recent research and surveys. Asia According to a survey by Statista 2017, China, India, and Thailand are the top three countries where people read books most frequently. In China, 36% of internet users reported reading a book every day or most days, and 34% read at least once a week. In India, 32% read daily or most days, and 40% read weekly. In Thailand, 30% read daily or most days, and 35% read weekly. These figures are far higher than the worldwide average of 22% for daily or most days reading and 31% for weekly reading. However, reading frequency does not necessarily translate into reading liter...
