TThhee mmaajjoorr oobbjjeeccttiivvee ooff tthhee ssttuuddyy iiss ttoo iidentify teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and practices in Teaching of English and their influence on students’ learning at secondary level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The major objective is further strengthened by the research question and hypothesis: What beliefs do teachers hold and what classroom practices do they apply in teaching of English at secondary level? And there is no relationship between the beliefs and practices of English language teachers about teaching of English at secondary level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, respectively. Population of the study comprised all teachers and students (Male) at secondary level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is geographically divided into three main regions: the Northern, the Central and the Southern. One district was selected from each region, and data was collected from 1200 students (male) and 120 teachers (male) in both Govt. and Private sectors, by employing multi-stage cluster stratified sampling technique. The tools used for data collection involved questionnaires, interviews, and observation checklist. The data was interpreted through both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The quantitative data was analyzed using Gamma coefficient correlation, and the qualitative data (interviews) were analyzed with the help of thematic analysis after transcribing and dividing the data under different themes and sub-themes. viii The results revealed that teachers of both sectors possessed strong beliefs about teaching of English along with language and its learning, basic language skills, grammar and its rules, students learning, curriculum of English, and students’ assessment of language learning. However, Govt. teachers’ beliefs were not reflected in their actual classroom practices, which resulted in students’ low understanding of English as a subject, and as a language. Contrarily, Private school teachers performed better in their classroom practices that are also reflected from Private school students’ language learning and its functional aspect. The teachers’ classroom practices were also compared with students’ views and their result displayed lack of coordination between teachers’ beliefs and their practices in Teaching of English. Govt. teachers were supposed to be highly skilled as compared to the Private school teachers because of the trainings, refreshers courses, seminars, and workshops offered to them by the governmental and non-governmental agencies; however, the results were contrary to the supposition. A sizeable number of English language teachers in Pakistan, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have a little awareness regarding their personal beliefs about teaching of English; therefore, this study provides the Govt. with an insight that how English language teachers’ view and value their professional beliefs to become effective teachers. It is; therefore, recommended that proper English language content-based training may be provided to the teachers with English language background and the present bulk of non-English language teachers may be replaced by English language teachers.

انج تاں توں ڈکینڈا نئیں ہائیں۔

انج تاں توں ڈکیندا نہیں ہائیں، ڈکیا ہنجواں ہاہواں نال
انج تاں توں ٹھلیہندا نہیں ہائیں، ٹھلیا ٹھنڈیاں ساہواں نال
بدل ماحول گیا اے سارا نویاں قدراں بدلن نال
گولاں اج وناں تے نہیں نے، نہیں نے بور اکاہواں نال
سر دا بھار اوڑک نوں اپنے پیراں اتے اونا ایں
اپنے بھار نے چونے پوندے ٹٹیاں ہویاں باہواں نال
ہک دوجے نال مل کے سارے لوک ترقی کر دے نیں
بندے نکل جاندے نیں اگے، اپنیاں اپنیاں ٹھاہواں نال
پٹھے وڈھ کے چھیڑ مجھیں دا اج رجونا پوندا اے
ڈھور کدے وی رج دے نہیں نیں، بنیوں پٹے گھاہواں نال
نازک جان ملوک تیری اے، اوکھا پیار دا پینڈا ای
ساڈی ریس ناں کر توں جھلیا، اسیں ہاں حال تباہواں نال
بھانویں اوگنہار ہاں میں، پاک نبیؐ دی امت ہاں
مینوں ساڑ دوزخ نہیں سکدا اگاں اتے بھاہواں نال

حضرت آدم علیہ السلام بائبل اور قرآن کى روشنى میں

Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S) was the first man and the first prophet. Both Quran and Bible reveal that he was made from clay and was housed in Heavens. There was a most complete freedom for Sayyedna Adam (A.S) except of going near a forbidden tree. Iblees conducted an evil plan and tempted him to taste the fruit of the tree. This let to his descent on Earth. This study attempts to make a comparative analysis of Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S)‘s Incident as mentioned in the Quran and the Bible.

علم کلام کی تشکیل نو استاد شہید مرتضٰی مطہری کی افکار کی روشنی میں

To get salvation in this world and in the world hereafter depends upon the belief in the doctrines of life presented by God Almighty. And to have access to these prescribed doctrines, one must be acquainted with Ilm-e-Kalam as it asserts true beliefs and rejects wrong ones. To understand Ilm-e-Kalam it is necessary to study the scholars of this field. Ustad Shaheed Murtaza Mutahari is one of the renowed philosophers, whose outstanding work in the form of numerous lectures and books proves his greatness and genius. So the given topic is the study of llm-e-Kalam in the light of Ustad Shaheed Murtaza Mutahari's thoughts. The thesis has been divided into six chapters. First chapter deals with the introduction of limitations of Mantiq (logic), the philosophy and its problems, and Ilm-e-Kalam and its evolution respectively. Second chapter analyses in detail the different branches of Kalam. Third chapter deals with the introduction of Shaheed Murtaza Mutahari, his education and his position as a scholar of Ilm-e-Kalam. Chapter four presents the views of Ustad Shaeed Murtaza Mutahari about Ilm-e-Kalam in detail. Chapter five shows how Ustad Shaheed Murtaza Mutahari has presented Islamic Doctrines related to various topics and Mutakalimeen. In chapter six Ustad Shaheed Murtaza Mutahari is compared to a few classic renowed scholars and to some modern ones to highlight his role in reconstruction of Ilm-e-Kalam. At the end, conclusions and suggestions are presented.
