Abstract

There has been much debate in Pakistani ELT publications and newspapers regarding the advantages and
drawbacks of English education in Pakistani high schools. A huge bulk of these views is centered upon
unreliable and unsystematic proofs. The goal of this study is to collect baseline quantitative data from
Pakistani high school English instructors, including their backgrounds, training and preferences, challenges
faced by them in classrooms and the impact of 1994 Ministry of Education Course of Study Guidelines on
teaching practices. English teachers of ten general and ten vocational high schools were asked to answer a
26-questions survey for the study, having an overall return rate of 23%. The findings reveal that the teachers’
expected answers varied evidently depending on their college major and also the volume of their prior teamteaching experience.
