Abstract
It has been observed by the linguists that the performance of the students is greatly affected by the use of teaching strategies especially in second language learning class/ ESL class. Teachers with the best teaching strategies provide better results than those who use traditional methods of teaching or who do not use any specific method of teaching. In Pakistan, the performance of ESL learners is unsatisfactory and, therefore the researcher has taken this very important issue to investigate. The main objective of this research is to investigate different teaching strategies used by the English language teachers and to explore any possible relationship between the teaching strategies used and students’ achievement in ESL classes. For the current study, 141 teachers, both male and female, teaching English at secondary level, are selected from Bahawalpur District of Punjab, Pakistan with their 5198 ESL Learners. A survey questionnaire and the board result marks of the students in the subject of English are used as instruments to collect data for the current research study. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Results show that teachers are making use of different modern teaching strategies which have a positive affect on the students’ achievement.
