Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical techniques employed by 8th-grade teachers in government higher secondary schools of Sharqpur Sharif for teaching oral communication skills, as outlined by the Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB). The aim is to enhance teacher’s understanding and improve student performance. Employing qualitative research methods, this study utilized purposive sampling to select 10 teachers from the targeted schools. Data were collected through structured interviews, developed post-literature review and validated by three experts, then modified according to their feedback. The analysis of interview data highlighted a significant gap between student’s understanding and the implementation of techniques by teachers during lectures. Themes indicating the necessity for increased teacher awareness of effective teaching practices emerged from the data. The study concludes with recommendations for the introduction of innovative teaching methods in teacher training and professional development programs, advocating for these enhancements to be mandatory for all educators.
