Teaching and learning English revolves around traditional methods in Pakistan. In most classes teachers are the main source of knowledge. They just pour knowledge into their students' heads. Students are passive receivers of language input provided by teachers. Teachers teach different things in their language classes. For example, vocabulary, composition, poetry, prose and the four language skills which are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Most of the time they emphasise on reading and writing but they do not provide opportunities for practicing language to their students. For example, writing classes are not effective for students. Teachers do not allow students to select topics according to their own interest. They just provide topics to the students blindly or give stereo typed topics that students have rote learnt and then write for e. g. my car, my mother and my cat. The same topics are given in the examination every year. So they do not go beyond those topics. Due to these reasons teachers are not able to enhance the students writing skills. From the beginning I was interested in knowing why students are deprived of language learning opportunities which would enable them to write independently in real life situations. Due to my interest and the apparent importance of written English as a second language (ESL), I conducted this study to understand how teachers could facilitate its development in our context. This study shows that teachers need to do collaborative work to enhance their teaching skills. For example, they can plan together, discuss and give constructive feedback to each other which would help them to enhance their teaching skills. They need opportunities and encouragement to enhance their teaching of writing skills. From this study I learnt that ESL teachers need an environment in the school where they can work collaboratively. Moreover, it is imperative that teachers develop their own resources and competence in English language teaching.

سلطان کھاروی دی گیت نگاری

سلطان کھاروی دی گیت نگاری

’’گیت ہندی زبان دالفظ اے جیدے معنی نیں راگ، سنگیت، بھجن ، سرور وغیرہ۔‘‘(۱)

ایس لئی گیت تے سنگیت دا آپو وچ گوہڑا سمندھ اے جتھے گیت اے اوتھے سنگیت اے تے جتھے سنگیت ہووے گا اوتھے گیت وی ہووے گا۔ گیت دراصل من دیاں ڈوھنگایاں چ جنم لین والے جذبیاں تے احساساں دے آپ مہارے پر گھٹاوے داناں اے ۔ جیہدے وچ سادگی، سلاست تے روانی مکمل درجے تک موجود ہوندی اے۔ ایسے پاروں آکھیا جاندا اے کہ گیت کوتا دا اک اجہیا روپ اے جو دلاں دیاں اتھا ڈوھنگایاں وچ پیدا ہوندی اے، تے دلاں دیاں اتھاہ ڈوھنگایاں تیک اثر کردی اے ۔ گیت کیول جذبیاں دے اظہار دا ناں ہی نہیں بلکہ ایہدے سرنانویاں وچ بڑی وسعت تے ون سونتا پائی جاندی اے۔نظم وانگوں گیت نوں وی خاص موضوع تیک محدود نہیں رکھیا گیاسگوں نظم جذبہ تے احساس دیاں نکی توں نکی کیفیتاں گیت دا موضوع بن سکدیاں نیں۔ ایس لئی عشق تے محبت ، کوشش تے محنت ، قومیت ، حریت رزم تے بزم ، کرم تے ظلم ، ہجر تے وصال ، جذبہ تے خیال، حسن تے جمال، عشق بے مثال ،ہراوہ شے جیڑی انسانی احساس دا حصہ اے گیت دا موضوع بن سکدی اے۔گیت بارے ڈاکٹر وزیر آغا لکھدے نیں:

’’گیت کا امتیازی وصف یہ ہے کہ ماں ، زمین یا معاشرے کے باطن میں پیدا ہونے والی کروٹ کا علم بردار ہے۔ اسی لیے گیت میں زمین سے وابستگی بہت توانا ہے۔ مثلاًگیت کی آواز میں دھرتی کی بہت سی دوسرے آوازیں شامل ہوجاتی ہیں۔ جسے کوئل کی کوک،مینا کا ترنم، بھنورے کی گھن گھن وغیرہ۔(۲)

فتح مکہ میں آنحضرت ﷺکا سیاسی کردار

The conquest of Makkah is an extraordinary and unprecedented event of the Muslim history in which the Holy Prophet (PBUH) demonstrated his political discernment and strategy that Islam is an unassailable entity that can never be eradicated. Your democratic engagement in the conquest of Makkah facilitated the establishment of a government of peace and reconciliation in Arabia, which led the Arabs to grow submissive to the Sharia. They all became Muslims as a consequence of your political participation; hence, Makkah's government was then altered and structured accordingly with Islamic principles. The political role of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the conquest of Makkah has been addressed in this article. The methodology chosen to go ahead with this piece was astounding. However, the challenge faced during the research was: Muslims in the modern age encounter a slew of political issues. And as a result, Politicians, if they try, can overcome their challenges by remembering the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) political involvement in the Conquest of Makkah. Keywords: The Holy Prophet (PBUH), political problems, The Conquest of Makkah, Modern era.

Phylogenetic Relationships in Apocynaceae Based on Both Nuclear and Plastid Molecular Datasets

The phylogenetic relationships within Apocynaceae were investigated in the present study. In addition trnL-F intron-spacer region and atpB promoter, a part of PHYA exon, a low-copy nuclear gene were sequenced from Apocynaceae. Different taxa of the family were collected from Pakistan and different regions of the world, representing major groups of the family. Separate phylogenetic trees were constructed using trnL-F and PHYA sequences and then combined datasets were used for simultaneous analysis. In the separate trnL-F analyses (comprised of 178 taxa with updated nomenclature) both parsimony and Bayesian, yield a number of stable clades, but placement of tribes (Vinceae, Tabernaemontaneae, Hunterieae and Melodineae) in Rauvolfioideae is uncertain and lack high level of support. A clade comprising Ceropegieae and Marsdenieae receives good support confirming the monophyly of both tribes. The grouping of taxa in Asclepiadeae is not satisfactory to define a subtribal classification. Malagasy Cynanchum group forms a separate clade in both analyses while the monophyly of New World Cynanchineae is not supported here. In the combined phylogenetic analyses, 112 taxa were included representing most major caldes in Apocynaceae. The study confirms that Periplocoideae are nested within Apocynoideae. The APSA clade (Apocynoideae, Periplocoideae, Secamonoideae and Asclepiadoideae) is strongly supported here, but the crown clade of Apocynaceae (comprised of subfamilies Asclepiadoideae, Secamonoideae, Periplocoideae and Echiteae, Mesechiteae, Odontadenieae and Apocyneae of Apocynoideae) has only moderate support. The present study places Periplocoideae as part of the sister group to the rest of the crown clade and the tribe Baisseeae emerges as sister group of Secamonoideae-Asclepiadoideae clade. Old World Cynanchinae form a well-supported clade with the New World MOG (Metastelmatinae, Oxypetalinae and Gonolobinae) tribes rather than with the largely Old World Asclepiadinae and Tylophorinae, as suggested by earlier studies. By addition of atpB promoter sequences of Rauvolfioideae’s taxa in combined dataset (trnL-F and PHYA), the inter-generic resolution was not improved in the subfamily. In the present study, resolution among most groups (such as inter-tribal relationships of Asclepiadoideae) is improved in combined analyses as compared to previous phylogenies, based on only plastid regions. However, there is a need to sequence vmore nuclear loci like PHYA from greater number of taxa to further improve relationships in the family.
