• The attitude of teachers with students in Private schools of Sanghar
is better than Government school teachers.
• This study recommends that teachers of English language must be

profession.
10. Discussion
• Practice is the best way to learn any language because skills are
involved in the acquisition of any language and skills never
develop without practice.
• Teachers of English language should arrange interesting activities
that could expose skills of learners.
• In the teaching and learning of English language, students have to
involve in practical activities and if they would be engaged in
interesting activities and material so they could be motivated in
learning a English language.
• It is unfortunate that during this study no such activity and
practices were observed in order to develop language skills of
students in classroom practices.
• The role of the teacher was not more than ‘to transfer information’
and students were passive listeners.
11. Conclusion
• The current approaches of teachers, to develop English language
skills of students, are not satisfactory.
• However, the teacher is not as one and only responsible stakeholder
for mal-practices but various factors are involved in the existing
poor system.
• Pre-service teacher education programs and teacher training are not
integrated to introduce strategies and techniques that might be
useful in teaching four skills of English language.
