English is recognized as an official language in Pakistan, but it is often taught without appropriate socio-cultural context. The research aims to highlight the development of PakE through examining factors that influence its evolution, and analyze main linguistic features that draw its distinction from British English. The study uses a qualitative methodology, particularly thematic analysis of audio recorded interviews with two university students. Findings of the study reveal clausal, syntactic and lexical features of PakE that deviate from standard British English variety. The findings also demonstrate how PakE speakers code-mix Urdu and English, use unique sentence formations, and transform declarative sentences into interrogatives in casual talk. Moreover, the results imply the need for greater focus on linguistic diversity and importance of inclusion of native socio-cultural contexts in English language education across Pakistan. Additionally, understanding of common features of PakE can help informing language planning and policies focused on endorsing regional linguistic identity. Further research examining additional social, cultural and linguistic variables influencing ongoing development of Pakistani English as an indigenized variety is needed.

But putting proactive classroom management strategies into practice can be difficult for many teachers. This study investigates the relationship between lesson planning and classroom management in the setting of tertiary English language instruction in Pakistan. The study intends to fill a gap in the body of knowledge regarding the particular difficulties and requirements in this area and to offer evidence-based approaches for improving lesson design and classroom management strategies. Data were gathered from six English language teaching professionals using a qualitative inquiry approach that included open-ended questions and purposive sampling. The results show a close relationship between lesson preparation and classroom management, with lesson planning acting as a systematic strategy to support efficient teaching and learning. Planning lessons helps students meet their learning objectives, fosters professional development, and integrates the art and science of teaching. The study emphasises the value of proactive classroom management and offers suggestions for enhancing English language instruction in tertiary institutions in Pakistan.

This research has used qualitative questionnaires for collecting data. The selection of research participants is based on purposive sampling. The findings reveal that the post method approach makes teaching and learning effective by emphasizing on the conxtet of the students and situation. Therefore, this study has investigated the post method strategies and approaches practiced in the ELT context of Pakistan.

It directs the scholars and policymakers to revisit the notion of language and norms of traditional bilingual education. However, the researcher brings in light that translanguaging as a particular model facilitates for understanding dynamic multilingualism to promote social justice to languages and their speakers. The implementation of this model is viable in both theory and practice. The issue of monoglossic model of bilingual education in Pakistan is yet to be dealt with. Moreover, the researcher employed qualitative empirical method and used secondary data from previous studies to investigate the problem. Additionally, the findings reveal that the subtractive language policy, linguistic hegemony, politicians’ monolingual politics are challenges to the dynamic bilingual education. On the other hand, multilingual reality and its practice, speakers’ multilingual...
