teaching english in pakistan
"Most of the Pakistani students students do not take advantage of the resources
that are available to them. There are 5/6 FM radio channels available. FM89 is
the channel that airs only English songs and even the DJs speak English all the
time. Our students can listen to a variety of English songs and can improve
their listening skills.
For Speaking they should watch HARD TALK on BBC. This will improve their
Organization, Vocabulary and Grammatical Range. In addition, they will come to
know how different phrases are used to start the sentences.
For Reading and Writing, they should read The Dawn newspaper, of Karachi only
because most of their columnists have international standards. Even
international experts of a variety of fields often write for this newspaper
only. They must read news items as well. Thus they can write their opinion to
the Editor of the Dawn.
For the improvement of Pronunciation, I think they should listen to the native
speakers and for this BBC Telecast and Broadcast are unrivalled.
Teachers can also download the Phonetic Symbol Chart from the Teaching English
site of the British Council. Regular practice will improve their basics. I think
Paksitani students do not like to read. For this the teachers should recommend
websites that are interesting.
Best of Luck!

"Teaching English in Pakistan - Pakistan is a country with a flavor all its own.
The largest city, Karachi, is fairly cosmopolitan and offers a number of
opportunities for people willing to work in this country. However, the other
cities and the hinterlands are where there is little competition and anyone
willing to do some private tutoring can have a great time.
Opportunities for teaching English are basically with schools, some university
level is available too, but the ideal is to join up at a language teaching
center or do private tutoring.
The amazing part about teaching here is to get to understand what people
want.... which is generally NOT pure ESOL or EFL or ESL or ESP. What people
generally crave is "conversation" classes... or "discussions". Professionals, on
the other hand, generally demand "grammar".
Cost of living is affordable, and the best part is the domestic help that is
available to handle all the mundane chores of housework."
