Exploring the Academic English Speaking Competence of Social Sciences Students at Higher Level: A Case of Southern Punjab

Abstract

This research work has two-fold purposes. First, it examines the existing speaking competency of the Social Sciences students of Southern Punjab and was delimited to Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Second, it suggests a need oriented EAP course by measuring the existing competency level of the students in the specific academic context. To execute the Target Situation Analysis, the information is obtained about the students’ existing level of competency. Data is collected from the students of three departments of social sciences through a test which is comprised of Limbo followed by different questions for the discussion of the students. For data analysis, an evaluation sheet is prepared that consists of multiple speaking traits such as shyness, recitation, vocabulary, pronunciation and accent. Later it is quantitatively analyzed to know the mutual imperative disproportion among the learners. The research is significant as it provides valuable cognizance to the various collaborators: researchers, policy makers, instructors and material designers
