    A LEXICAL ANALYSIS OF PUNJAB CURRICULUM AND TEXTBOOK BOARD’S ENGLISH LANGUAGE BOOKS OF GRADE 1 TO 6
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) Muhammad Umer Azim
    English language in the context of Pakistan is very important. Government of Pakistan is trying hard to improve the standard of English by taking steps like; teaching English from Grade 1, training teachers, providing free English textbooks, revising textbooks etc. These textbooks are extremely important in the context of English language teaching in Pakistan because they are the only source of exposure to more than 7.6 million (2018, School Education Official Website) students studying in public sector schools. These textbooks need to be evaluated thoroughly for their effectiveness. This evaluation can consider different linguistic aspects. The recent interest in vocabulary teaching brought it to the centre stage of the language teaching process. The researchers established a strong relationship between vocabulary acquisition and language acquisition among language learners (Hazenberg & Hulstijn 1996, Hu & Nation 2000, Lessard 2013).

    The effect of weekly quizzes on the learning achievement of Saudi EFL students
    (University of Management and Technology, 2013) Muhammad Umer Azim
    Innovation and improvement is part and parcel of teaching in general and language teaching in particular. Language Teacher's role as a researcher is always emphasised in the books and teaching courses available for both the prospective and in-service teachers. Language teachers are trained in a way that they can utilise the available resources in the best possible way to enhance the learning achievement of the learners. The teacher has the liberty to amalgamate motivational strategies, adapt teaching materials, innovate teaching methodology and adjust the speed of covering of syllabus according to the learning ability, interest, and learning strategies of the learners. All this requires the knowledge of teaching methods, motivation and language anxiety on one hand and knowledge of students' needs, their attitude and their aptitude on the other. Teachers try innovative ways to benefit and facilitate their students in language learning process. The researcher is a student of this field who strives to enhance the learning experience of the learners through research based innovation and improvement.
