3. 1) Introduction
School education is dependent on textbooks. There are
some parameters to know the standard of education is strongly based on
textbooks. Surprisingly to say that in our Pakistani society children spend their
most of time in reading textbooks therefore they are deprived of creating new
reforms. Further to say that textbooks are like platform where both teacher and
students meet their possibilities what to teach or what to learn.
The teaching requires an effective materials. Learners
gets easy to catch things. Same way for teaching language, good material is
important. Material development refers to all the processes made use of by
practitioners who produce and/ or use material for language learning including
material evaluation, their adaptation, design, production, exploitation and
research. Ideally, all of these processes should interact in the making of language-
learning.
Good language teaching material should achieve impact on learners, help learner
develop confidence, provide relevant and useful content, expose learners
authentic use of language, provide opportunities for authentic language use, take
into account individual differences, encourage learner’s involvement.
After critically analyzing the material used in English
textbook I got following findings as outdated editions, less pedagogical practices,
non-visual vocabulary teaching, focusing on beliefs and faith rather than
knowledge, repetition of same events in different textbooks, narrow teaching
approaches and Material used as full of dogmatize, bias and demarcation against
fellow citizen. The findings also clearly show that Sindh textbooks as compare to
others don’t fulfil requirements of teaching English as second language at
secondary level but believe in grading.
Therefore I have modifiy the lesson three “Profession” from the tenth class
published by Sindh textbooks board,where the Material evaluation is not
remarkable for the learner to acquire and need based analysis because the
purpose of such lesson is to teach language rather than information or history
that’s whay it is very indespensible ot evaluate this lesson. According to my
material adaptation I have delete some pragraphs, and exercises and modified
the aunthentic material to be used which replace the actual text.

4. 2) Original text

7. 3) Original exercise

10. Adaptation and modifying the lesson.
Deletion: It is said that God writes His law on the hearts of men, and a
teacher is one who can read what He writes on the human heart this
message is a reflection God’s word found in scared writing as well as
enshrined in the work of creation all of which come from the divine
command.
Reason: This above text is highly literary and broader term. It is quite
difficult even for fist year students in university and how students from
10th class can will get it.
Adding: Ghulam Ali Bhurirro is professor at department of English
department in university of Sindh jamshoro. He works four days a
week, both in morning and evening classes. He speaks many languages
but English is native pronunciation.

12. Learn the following words, look up their meaning in the dictionary in the
dictionary and use them in your own sentences.

Adding:
An adjectives, nouns, and verbs are given below use them in different
sentences

For example: Nurse is very kind to patients.
DELETION

1. To shed crocodile tears: to weep insincerely, or hypocritically.
2. To feel like first out of water: To feel out of place.
3. To nip in the bud: To stop evil in the early stages.
4. To turn over a new leaf: To reform, to behave better.
DELETION
Change the following into active voice.
1. This lamp was lit by the servant.
2. The soldier was ordered by the officer to report to him.
3. By whom was this blanket patched?
4. Was this land cultivated by the landowner himself?
REASONS
It is not according to the need of learners. In 10th
level they can’t do active passive voice because it is
difficult at that level.

13. Teaching:
Fishing:
5) Evaluation.
The good Good language teaching material, neglect
indoctrination and inspire towards education. And if it is material of
English teaching, it must focus on following areas: 1) lessons may
stimulates interest of students in the subject of English. 2) In

14. composition, exercises represents technical usages rather predicating
ways. 3) It may contains very simple words that students can
comprehend the passage as knowing process of reading comprehension.
4) The content should be as beautifully written as students could write
good paragraph including unity, order and variety. 5) Exercises must be
audio-visual aids that students could improve their language rather than
just marking the answer.
Conclusion
Thus, it is proved with Material evaluation that Sindh
textbooks do not fulfill the requirements of secondary level students
who need to learn English as a Second language, not as a subject.

15. Without good material learners will be less confidence, lack of interest,
improper knowledge of communicative language skills. There is no
space left for creativity of students but limited with certain exercises
from textbooks. Age of 10th class students are young therefore pictorial
as well interesting lessons should be added to enhance their skill of
writing as well as reading with the help of visual vocabulary.
