A Descriptive Analysis of Applied ESL Teaching Techniques: A Comparison between Public and Private Secondary Schools
Abstract
This article describes the existing English language teaching pedagogical interventions prevalent at randomly selected forty public and private sector secondary schools, eighty teachers and the classes they teach by administering two research tools namely questionnaire and classroom observation checklist which were piloted before administration. The results reflect the gap between perception and practices especially in the public sector schools where mother tongue is in vogue rather English to improve the language skills of the students whereas private sector schools go for using different pedagogical interventions along with technology to enhance the English language skills of the students. The study recommends that there must be a separate language teachers’ cadre in government sector and a responsible part be given to teachers training institutions so that proper English language teaching may be ensured and students may be able to get maximum benefit of the monitoring by those teachers training institutions
