The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fluency enhancing and fluency hampering factors in English on the listening comprehension of the Pakistani learners. English is not taught as a language in most educational institutes in Pakistan. It is treated as a subject. Naturally, its phonological aspect is badly ignored. This, later, affects the competence and performance of the learners. Before starting the research, the researcher had claimed that where the fluency enhancing features of English helped its native speakers in accelerating their verbal speed, they affected the aural comprehension of the Pakistani learners of it. Similarly, the fluency hampering factors in English also affected their listening comprehension. Based on this claim, the researcher formulated the hypothesis: Language learners who are taught listening skills with the help of fluency enhancing and fluency hampering factors of English perform better in aural comprehension than those language learners who are not taught through these factors. Using a quasi- experimental design the researcher conducted the study on two groups -one control group and the other experimental group. The design had the following stages: Pre-test treatment Post-test. The pre-test was set to assess the existing aural abilities of the members of the groups. T-test was used to know the significance or insignificance of the data. It was followed by the treatment that spanned over two months. During this period the researcher treated the experimental group with the help of eight model lesson plans, all focusing on fluency enhancing or fluency hampering factors in English. After the treatment, the post-test was conducted and the data were analyzed by using the t-test again. The results of the pre-test and the post- test of the both groups were compared. It was found that the experimental group (n = 15) achieved significantly higher score [t (28) = 10.16, p > .001] than the control group (n = 15).It was concluded that the fluency enhancing and fluency hampering factors affected the listening comprehension of the Pakistani learners of English and that students could overcome this problem if they were treated properly despite the fact that there were a number of independent variables.

علم الروایہ و الدرايۃ٬ مفہوم اور تاریخی پس منظر

Hadith and Science of Hadith are the terms used by specialists of Hadith known as Mohaditeen. A hadith is a recorded statement, action or approval of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). It is considered as the second primary source of Islamic law after Quran. It is also a part of revelation. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) described it through his words. The science of hadith examplifies the principles with which a specialist in the field of Hadith evaluates the authenticity and accuracy of narrations. In the past there were two specific and developmental stages for the Books of Hadith terminology. In its 1st stage, the Scholars focused on the compilation of the statements of earlier scholars, quoting the expressions they had used without evaluating those terms or suggesting terms applicable to those expressions. This methodology was adopted by the earlier scholars such as Yaḥyā ibn Ma`īn, `Alī ibn al-Madīnī, Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj, and Al – Tirmidi. In the second period the Authors cited the quoted statements of the earlier works and began the collection and codification of relevant terms. In this period, the specific Principles were established. Examples of books authored in this manner are: Ma`rifah `Ulūm al-Ḥadīth by al-Ḥākim, Al-Kifāyah by al-Khaṭīb alBaghdādī and the Introduction of Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ. In this article the two major types of science of Hadith have been mentioned, Rewayat-ul-Hadith and Derayat-ulHadith. Its definition and historical background has been described.

Individuals Perceptions About the Credibility of Social and Traditional Media and its Impact on Media Preference in Pakistan.

credibility on traditional and social media preference through the mediating role of individual perception about media. Furthermore, the moderating role of traditional and social media usage and gender are also investigated in the study. The data has been collected from the students (N= 1383) of seven metropolitan cities of Pakistan i.e. Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar, Islamabad, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit Baltistan. The data has been collected using a survey based questionnaires. The data has been analyzed statistically, using SPSS. The reliability and validity tests were applied to validate the instrument. Statistical analysis like correlation, regression and bootstrapping were used to test the direct and indirect hypotheses. The findings indicate that traditional and social media credibility has a direct and positive relationship with individual perception and traditional and social media preference. Additionally, the individual perception mediates the relationship between the traditional and social media credibility and traditional media preference. Moreover, the moderation analysis shows that Social and traditional media usage moderates the relationship between Social and traditional media credibility and individual perception. The moderation analysis of gender between different variables also provided some interesting insight. The results indicate that in male media users the relationship is stronger than the female media users. The relationship between traditional media credibility and individual perception and Credibility of Social and Traditional Media in Pakistan viii predicted that the male has a stronger relationship. The results found a higher level of individual perception in male media users than female media users. Pakistan is a developing country where private news media and the social media networks are growing rapidly. In such situations, understanding about the individual''s perceptions with reference to the media credibility and media preferences are becoming more complex. The present study adds to the body of knowledge in the area of media credibility and individual perception in Pakistan.
