Abstract

The current research investigates the use of modern pedagogies in Pakistan. It is intended to address the teaching community's pedagogical problems in Pakistan. Besides, the research also motivates teachers to make use of modern pedagogies and make their teaching effective. Although most teachers use obsolete methods of teaching, this research attempts to investigate and encourage the use of modern pedagogies in Pakistan. Furthermore, modern pedagogies effectively address the learning needs of students. Therefore, this research seeks to investigate which teaching pedagogies are used in teaching English in Pakistan’s Sindh province. Purposive sampling technique and survey questionnaire were used for collecting data from six participants who teach English in government colleges of Pakistan’s Sindh province. The research findings show that the participants are using modern pedagogies when teaching English in their colleges. Additionally, the researchers applied a qualitative method to analyze the data and used a survey questionnaire to collect primary data with the help of purposive sampling. Hence, the current research studies the problem of using modern teaching methodologies in a detailed manner.
