Heavy reliance of teachers on questions that are aimed to recall the information memorized tends to suppress students' thinking and frame it within a textbook content. To break this practice there is a need to develop teachers' understanding of questions that will help students think beyond the content of textbook. This study was aimed to understand the practice of myself, as a teacher educator, in facilitating the development of teachers' knowledge, skills and dispositions to ask High Order Questions (HOQs) questions that can help students to not only comprehend information, but also to analyze, synthesize and evaluate it. It is believed that sustained practice of Higher Order Questioning (HOQ) could scaffold the development of students' critical thinking, which is necessary in preparation of informed, cognizant and critical citizens for open, free and democratic society. The findings of the study reveal that if sufficient time is invested in development of teachers' understanding of HOQ, the practice of HOQ will be more effective and sustainable. Since the approach used in conducting this study was action research and the time allocated for the study was not sufficient, it was not possible to see the practice of the developed understanding of HOQ in classes.

تُو ہی مجھ کو یاد رہا ہے

تُو ہی مجھ کو یاد رہا ہے
تجھ کو ہی پَل پَل سوچا ہے

تُو بھی میرے ساتھ کھڑا ہے
مجھے یہی حوصلہ بڑا ہے

تُو ہی میری سوچ کا محور
فوٹو تیرا دل میں جَڑا ہے

پیار محبت جُھوٹی باتیں
اب مجھ کو احساس ہوا ہے

رات مَیں خواب میں تجھ کو دیکھا
خواب مگر اِک دھوکا سا ہے

دل کی نگری اُجڑی اُجڑی
اِس کو کون اجاڑ گیا ہے

پیار کا روگ لگانے والا
راتوں کو تارے گنتا ہے

اَبھی تو بارش بَرس رہی ہے
لیکن مجھ کو گھر جانا ہے

تھُوڑی دیر تو سو جا صادق
ان رَت جَگوں میں کیا رکھّا ہے

اخلاقی اور روادار معاشرے کے قیام میں صوفیاء کا کردار

Tasaw’uf(mysticism)is a branch of Islamic knowledge which focuses on the spiritual development of the Muslim. Allah sent His final messenger, Prophet Muhammad, as a source of knowledge for the entire Ummah. He was the model of spirituality for the world. His God-consciousness, deep spirituality, acts of worship, and love for Allah were preserved and propagated by an Islamic science called Tasaw’uf(mysticism). After the Prophet (SAW), the scholars carried different branches of knowledge. The aim of the scholars of Tasaw’uf(mysticism)was purification of the heart, and development of consciousness of Allah through submission to the Shariā and Sunnah. The Sofiy’ā have role model to keep the society peaceful. In this paper will be discussed about the role of Tasaw’uf(mysticism) and Sofiy’ā In the establishment of a moral and tolerant society.

Implementing Indirect Error Correction Strategy to Enhance Grade 8 Esl Learners Written Compositions

Error feedback is perhaps the most investigated area by ESL researchers. However, there seemed a dearth of studies on ways of implementing indirect error feedback in ESL classrooms to improve students' written compositions in context. Therefore, the aim of the study was to implement indirect error feedback on ESL learners' written compositions through the use of codes, organizing error conferences and maintaining grammar logs. The study utilized the action research design within the qualitative paradigm. It used a sample of 3 students and an ESL teacher of an elementary class in a private secondary school in GB. Data collected from document analysis, classroom observations, informal conversations, students' composition samples and interviews with the subject teacher and students formed the basis of reflections and analysis. Thus, the study looked for ways on how to synthesize indirect feedback activities according to the contextual needs. The findings of the study showed that implementing indirect error feedback requires well developed theoretical and pedagogical understanding of using indirect error correction strategy to improve the quality of learners' written compositions. Furthermore, the data indicated that students found indirect error correction fruitful as it ensured their involvement in correcting their own errors. It was also revealed that the use of these strategies led to improve quality of learners' written compositions by increasing their motivation and confidence in self-correction. The supports the argument made on Schmidt's Noticing Hypothesis and social constructive theory that the amount of attention an ESL learner is paying to the form focused feedback given by a more competent person or peers may influence the production of L2 to some degree. This study is significant in guiding ESL teachers and teacher educators in Pakistan to reflect and modify their error correction methods according to learners' needs. It also provides deep insights to future researchers to study indirect error correction in other contexts as well.
