Teaching English is a great debatable issue in Pakistan, it has suffered great historical, political, linguistic and procedural ineffectiveness regarding its status in education system of Pakistan. As it is language of communication and medium of teaching in education; it is treated as enforced, in both public and private sectors. Teaching English in Pakistan is difficult because of its dual role in education. Although, it has been announced official language, but no linguistic policy has been specifically made. It is taught as subject in education especially in govt colleges.

The explored findings and proposed suggestions will offer the simplest path for both teachers and authorities to search probable solution to handle these problems in order to provide proficient ELT environment required up to standards.
