The current issue of JSSIR brings four articles all having a wider readership owing to the themes classified within the general interest and scope of people in the immediate societal context and are not exclusively limited to be consumed by researchers and academics related to the discipline specific community only. The first article focuses on Seerah – a focus of every Muslim and the cornerstone of their faith. The article delineates the goals, characteristics and sources for understanding and emulating the conduct of the Holy Prophet as aspired by the believers. The second research write up is an empirical case study that examined the government schools in KPK province through efficacy of the management and delivery of educational service. A study carried out with twenty- four schools with data gathered from students, teachers, parents, district elected representatives, district education reveals low satisfaction and poor management owing to specific reasons which if removed can considerably improve the quality of education. The last article in the main article section is somewhat connected with the second article as it raises another challenge within educational institutes and this of the large class size for the languages and it draws attention towards private sector educational quality which is generally perceived to be superior in comparison to the public sector. The article specifically focuses on the English Language classrooms and emphasizes that second language learning, which is comparatively difficult to learn and teach as compared to the first language Urdu, requires attention in terms of adequate student teacher ratio befitting for English as a Second Language. This adequate class size will enable students to practice and acquire the language skills as opposed to the prevailing practice of content accumulation through rote learning and reproduction in writing. The Forum section includes a review article on attitude towards language learning with English being the language focused. This article may offer the readers to stretch the scenario and findings from the previous article and link it with the psycho social construct of attitudes. Literature on Language attitudes implies that the best curriculum, effective pedagogy, useful realia, conducive infrastructure support may not deliver effective language teaching -learning outcomes because of problems in the attitudes. The teachers and researchers within ELT may find prompts for classroom practice and research from this brief review.
