Remediation of Written English in Government Schools of Rawalpindi Region The purpose of this research study was to explore some remedial measures required to make the Pakistani students at the Secondary School level use correct English language in their writings. The problem under concern is that students at even higher levels make simple grammatical mistakes which they seem to have carried with them from high schools. The study aims to find out if these errors can be eliminated at a lower level. For this investigation, the researcher has taken the students at the Secondary School level as the subject. Common grammatical deviations have become a challenge for teachers of English in Pakistan. The study aimed to find out specifically some of the most common grammatical deviations and some of the likely causes behind them. The study has also suggested some measures to eliminate these deviations or irregular patterns and to improve the level of English, especially at school level in Pakistan. The researcher analyzed essay scripts written by students of Matriculation to find out common deviations. The researcher then analyzed these deviations by applying Theory of Contrastive Analysis to find out some of the likely causes behind these deviations. The researcher collected two hundred essays (twenty essays each) from randomly selected ten Government High Schools for boys in Rawalpindi. For this purpose, the researcher gave a topic on the spot to let the students write spontaneously. The researcher also used interview as the research tool. One teacher of English, each from the ten schools selected for collecting scripts was interviewed. The analysis of data received showed that First Language interference played a dominant role in the problem under discussion. Secondly, there was a shortage of skilled teachers in the schools. Some main recommendations were: to involve the teachers at the lower levels in curriculum designing, give regular and effective teacher-training workshops and try to develop a spoken English culture in schools. It is expected that this study will serve as a useful tool to study the standard of English at the lower levels and find out some more solutions to the problem of weak standard of English in Pakistan. The analysis of interviews has opened up many new areas to work on. The significance of the study is that we can expect to get students who write and speak correct English at the lower as well as the higher levels of study. Teachers teaching ESP and other special courses of English can face this challenge more easily and can also keep their focus on the actual objectives of the courses.

ڈاکٹر ابن فرید

ڈاکٹر ابن فرید
۸؍ مئی ۲۰۰۳؁ء گواردو کے ممتاز ادیب و نقاد اور اچھے افسانہ و ناول نگار ڈاکٹر ابن فرید کا انتقال ہوگیا۔ اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
ڈاکٹر ابن فرید کا اصل نام محمود مصطفےٰ صدیقی تھا، وہ ضلع بارہ بنکی میں سترکھ کے قریب کے ایک گاؤں ظفر پور میں ۲۸؍ اکتوبر ۱۹۲۵؁ء کو پیدا ہوئے تھے لیکن ان کی زندگی کا زیادہ حصہ علی گڑھ میں گزرا، آخر میں رام پور میں متوطن ہوگئے تھے، بیمار ہونے پر علی گڑھ میڈیکل کالج میں داخل کیے گئے، یہیں پیامِ اجل آگیا، وہاں سے ان کا جسدخاکی ان کے وطن ظفرپور لایا گیا، ۹؍ مئی کو نماز فجر کے بعد اپنے آبائی قبرستان میں سپرد خاک کردیے گئے۔
ان کے گھر کے حالات بہتر نہیں تھے، ہائی اسکول کرنے کے بعد تعلیم چھوڑ کر رائل انڈین ایر فورس میں ملازمت کرلی، یہ سلسلہ ۱۹۴۴؁ء سے ۱۹۴۷؁ء تک جاری رہا، یافت کے لحاظ سے ملازمت اچھی تھی مگر ان کو پسند نہیں تھی، وہ اپنی تعلیم جاری رکھنا چاہتے تھے، ٹیوشن سے کام چلاتے، تعلیم کا شوق انہیں علی گڑھ لے گیا، نفسیات میں داخلہ لیا، اس میں، انگریزی اور عمرانیات میں ایم۔ اے کیا، ۱۹۷۶؁ء میں پی۔ایچ۔ڈی کی ڈگری لی۔

One those beautiful laws are Saddu Zara’i (prevention law from means, leading to prevented things in Islam). It helps stop unlawful activities by using legal means.

It is illustrated by example of various scholars of Islam. It also discusses the different opinions of Islamic Jurisprudential scholars on Saddu Zara’i. The authors of this paper, then, deliberate its use for its applications to solve the new problems being faced by the Muslims across the world related to ethics and reformation of society.

Reducing the Incidence of Workplace Bullying and Mitigating its Impact on Employee Performance

Motivating work environment enhances performance of human resources whereas workplace hurdles, stressors and hazards result in a decline in their performance. Workplace bullying is a major workplace hazard that results in low employee performance. Hence, its incidence must be controlled and impact on employee performance must be mitigated. The current study was conducted to analyze the workplace bullying phenomenon, reduce its incidence by implementing antibullying interventions and mitigating its impact on employee performance by enhancing the level of emotional intelligence of the victims through emotional intelligence training interventions in health care sector of Pakistan. This study was carried in three stages: (i) Pretest stage, (ii) Treatment of Bully Group and Victim Group, (iii) posttest stage. In Pretest Stage, bullying incidence was reported and groups of bullies and victims were identified. There were 25 bullies who were lacking personality trait of agreeableness and 126 victims who had personality trait of agreeableness. In Stage 2: Treatment of Bully Group, anti-bullying interventions developed through The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to change bullies’ behavior were applied to 22 bullies who agreed to be the part of TTM anti-bullying interventions. Moreover, in Stage 2: Treatment of Victim Group was carried out where employee performance and emotional intelligence level of 101 identified victims were assessed. By providing an informed consent, 36 victims with low level of emotional intelligence became the part of EI training interventions. In stage 3: posttest data was collected and analyzed. Results of Wilcoxon Signed Ranked test revealed significant decrease in bullying incidence and paired sample T-Test showed significant increase in emotional intelligence. Results of moderation analysis revealed that EI had significantly moderated relationship between workplace bullying and employee performance. Significant decrease in negative effect of workplace bullying incidence on employee performance was found when the level of emotional intelligence was enhanced. Similar results were reported in both pre and post-EI-interventions implementation stages. However, negative effect in post-EI-interventions implementation stage was relatively lower as a resultant higher level of emotional intelligence. Current study also discussed limitations or directions for future research and various important implications for theory, research and practice.
