BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY English is a global language with a comparatively broader scope. It is being educated in the majority of the Pakistani schools. It is the clear wellspring of correspondence with the globe. In various countries it is practiced as a second language. In the English showing classroom at essential level the educators confront numerous troubles particularly in provincial ranges. Their family foundation is hostile to English. In Pakistani rustic territories the understudies initially learn other neighborhood language s as their native language. In schools, they learn Urdu as a national language after this English is instructed. Understudies' troubles in learning English are firmly identified with the educating challenges. (Behraam, Hassan, Perveen, Nadeem, April 30th 2015) Teevno (2011) expressed that it has been observed that as of late the legislatures of Sindh and Pakistan have been giving a considerable measure of offices including free books and preparing programs for the educators at auxiliary level however the instructing and learning of English is not up to mark.

Nunan (1988) said "education and learning of second language English in Pakistan is founded happening the method of grammatical patterns and here is a leaning of recognized and bookish language, students just yield sentence and emphasis on reading and script", p.27 Paik (2008) expressed "by way of English is apparent as a vital instrument in instruction to live in the world-wide, the strains aimed at English language al consume grownup". p.696 . Jimenez & Rose (2010) argued "deprived of an oversaw as well as productive effort, understudies amid the period consumed education English have no desire of getting the categories and actions of communal, and insightful principal that they need to change into cutting superiority training or vital effort" p.411. A generally trusted conviction is that without observing the purposes of any task, it‟s pined for result can't be proficient. To make adjusting much capable and proficient, teachers should be clear about the whole deal targets and specific purposes of indicating English (James, 2001) p.697 Albeit powerful educators when all is said in done may share a few attributes, there are sure qualities that vary among them relying upon the topic they instruct. A few analysts trust that it is the way of the topic that makes language educators not the same as instructors of different fields (Hammadou & Bernhar, 1987) in an investigation of the characteristics of good language teachers.

In mostly schools there are no sufficient teaching materials so there are needs of instructional materials. It is recommended that in English subject teacher should develop a reading, writing skills. It is recommended that teachers should adapt different strategies for teaching English. REFERENCES  Behraam, S., Hassan, M., Perveen, S., & Nadeem, M. (april, 2015).
