With the rising demands of English language worldwide, efforts are being made to improve the quality of teaching. In such circumstances, English language teachers must be very clear about the aims and goals of teaching English since they play a fundamental role in helping students learn English Language. Several studies have been done to highlight the difficulties of English language spellings but not much work has been done in relation to find out strategies for teaching spellings. The aim of the current exploratory study is to gain insight into teaching spelling practices and to explore some strategies currently being used by private secondary school’s English language teachers in their lessons of Karachi, to help students in their learning English language spellings. Four English language teachers with different levels of experience were selected as participants for current study. The major findings of the study showed English is taught as a subject rather than as a language and majority of participants were using traditional language teaching approaches in their classes. Moreover, the factors that influence the teachers’ choice of selecting the methods are: lack of professional trainings, lack of respect for teachers, motivation/de-motivation towards learning process based on classroom teaching experience and beliefs of teacher participants, attitude of students and parents etc. It is thus, important for teacher of English to raise awareness of the significance of using spelling strategies, with professional trainings. The results provide insight into the need for significant and differentiated development opportunities for teachers, as well as students that focus on a deep understanding of the English Language spelling system, and how to teach students so that they grow into good spellers and, hence, good writers. In light of the results, the following recommendations are suggested to deal with the spelling challenges faced by students: Spelling instruction must be planned according to the needs of students.

غلام آیا ہے آقا مگر ہے شرمندہ

غلام آیا ہے آقاؐ مگر ہے شرمندہ
جھکی ہوئی ہیں نگاہیں ، نظر ہے شرمندہ

لبوں پہ کوئی بھی اک لفظ آ نہیں پاتا
دُعا کو ہاتھ اُٹھیں کیا اثر ہے شرمندہ

ہمارے ہاتھ بھی خالی ہیں اور دامن بھی
مدینے جاتے ہیں لیکن سفر ہے شرمندہ


بڑھا سکا نہ یہ ایمان کی حرارت کو
سو میرے دل میں دہکتا شرر ہے شرمندہ

اب ایک در پہ جُھکے بھی تو کیسے جُھک پائے
کہاں کہاں اِسے رکھا کہ سر ہے شرمندہ

مجھے یقین ہے اپنے کریم آقاؐ پر
صدا کرم کی سنوں گا، ’’کدھر ہے شرمندہ‘‘

مجھے سلیقۂ توصیف ہی نہیں عابدؔ
میں نعت لکھتا ہوں لیکن ہنر ہے شرمندہ

MACRO APPROACH IN NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM

Macro approach in the national education is both organization empowering and education process. Education excuting organization has coverage and autonomous that it can accommodate society need in every situation. The education process is carried out openly to inlarge inputs from society. The education process is carried out by instilling a sense of excellence to face global challenges, while at the same time trying to make educational institutions the center of civilization. All that requires educational innovation that focuses on curriculum renewal, teaching materials, evaluation systems, building repairs and construction, etc. Teachers as education personnel have a central role in administering an education system. By becoming a teacher, someone expects to be able to obtain adequate compensation for the necessities of life. In motivation theory, the provision of appropriate rewards and punishments, can affect the performance and quality of work.

Biochemical Attributes of Essential Oils from Selected Medicinal Herbs Grown in Different Agroclimatic Regions of Pakistan

Essential oils are plant‘s secondary metabolites that are known for their fragrance and food flavour properties.These odoriferous oils offer a promising potential for multiple applications such as in the fields of agriculture, food, cosmetics, medicine, pharmaceutical industry and aromatherapy. Chemistry and biological attributes of essential oils are deemed to be varied not only among different varieties of the same plant speciesnevertheless different agro-climatic conditions also affect the biochemical composition of the oils due to morphological diversity of the plants.In the present dissertation, selected medicinal herbs such as Mentha spicata, Menthapiperitta, O.basilicum Lamiaceae] andC.citratus[Poaceae], harvested from different geographicalzones of Punjab, Pakistan, were evaluated for yield, physicochemical and biological potential of their oils which were produced by two different methods including hdrodistillation (HD) and supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE). Gas chromatography attached with flame ionization detector (FID) and Gas chromatography fitted with mass spectrometry (MS)analyses of chemical costituents of volatile oils showed the presence of different types of oxygenated monoterpene (OM), monoterpene hydrocarbon (MH), sesquiterpene hydrocarbon (SH), oxygenated sesquiterpene (OS) and phenyl propanoid (PP).Depending upon the isolation mode, the tested essential oils exhibited a promising extent of antioxidant and antimicrobial and hemolytic activities, total phenolics and total flavonoids contents.With respect to different harvesting such as drought stressed, hilly, arid and irrigated regions, the tested essential oils revealed considerable differences in yield, chemical composition, TPC, TFC and biological properties that can be linked to varying agro-ecological parameters of the regions under study.Generally, the essential oilsextracted from the drought stressed region leave samples presented superior antimicrobial and hemolytic actions while,samples from hilly regions exhibited a greater range of antioxidant potential and total phenolics and flavonoids. A significant variation noted in the percentage yield,volatiles chemical composition and biological properties/actionscan be related to theirvariable chemical profiling resulted from morphologicaldiversity of the plants.
