Imagine, Integrate, and Incorporate: English Language and its Pedagogical Implications in EFL Classrooms

As the English language is accepted globally, it becomes a challenge for the teachers to learn the new theories and practices and get updated as per the requirements and needs of the learners. It is very necessary to know the needs of the learners in order to help them or push them towards learning. Knowing your learners' needs means half of the work has been done, the only thing the teacher has to do is to select the methods and apply the appropriate strategies in the classrooms. The existing practice of teaching English in the classroom does not offer much to the students to practice receptive and productive skills in real-life situations. The present study focus on developing language skills by using different strategies and activities in real-life classroom situation to enhance the language skills of the learners. The study uses a quantitative method to collect data from the respondents through a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The questionnaire was based on a five-point Likert scale and the reliability and validity were tested through SPSS version 20. The Cronbach alpha was tested and the results were satisfactory. The findings of the study clearly show that if the strategies and method of pedagogy in the classroom will be changed to more learners-centred and activity-based, the learning outcomes will be better and language skills were enhanced.
