dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study is to investigate the existence and intensity of washback effect in a selected private school in Lahore. The curriculum of the school is both subscribed and assessed by an international body called Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). Keeping and acknowledging the significance of English as a Second Language (ESL), this qualitative study targets English teachers from Grades 7 – 11. Three observations were conducted for each teacher, preceded and followed by pre and post observation meetings where they were briefed and their concerns were addressed. Along with the details of educational and professional backgrounds, lesson plans were taken from each teacher and Teacher Observation Checklist was used, adapted from a book used in Cambridge trainings. The focal point of the class observations was Reading Comprehensions which were later discussed in the light of curriculum guidelines and specimen papers attached at the end. With the use of Microsoft Excel, results were analyzed which not only proved the existence of washback but highlighted the intensity of it. Apart from this, differences in teaching practices were also interpreted in terms of inapt educational backgrounds and active involvement in professional development.en_US
