Abstract
The
present research focuses on comparative study of the Secondary School
Certificate (SSC) and the General Certificate of Education-Ordinary level
(GCE-O level) English language course to trace out the problems and
shortcomings of the curriculum objectives and teaching methods. The objectives
of the study were to analyze the objectives of teaching English of SSC and GCE
O-level to critically review the teaching methodologies of both the courses.
The population of the study comprised of all the teachers and the students of
SSC and GCE-O level of Bahawalpur region. The sample included the teachers and
the students of 10th class & GCE (O level) only. A test was
designed about Essay writing, Story writing & Comprehension skills. An
observation sheet was also designed with the four-points rating scale for the
teachers and the students as well. The researchers concluded that the teachers
teaching O-level students followed student-centered and language-centered approaches which catered the interests and needs of the
students. They ensured participation of the students in the learning process
whereas in SSC, the teachers used to follow teacher-centered approach. The
Grammar Translation Methods (GTM) was used to teach English language at SSC
level students while the Direct and Activity-based methods were used to teach
O-level students. The main recommendations were that the SSC curriculum needs
to be revised and modified according to the students’ needs. The English
language teachers at SSC level may also motivate the students to use authentic
materials, pair work and group work in the classroom. The public schools may be
equipped with libraries, language labs and audio-visual materials such as tape
recorder, video-player, overhead projector, multi-media and such facilities may
be properly used for improving the teaching learning process.
