Keywords:
MT Interference, SLA, English Language Learning, Pedagogical ImplicationAbstract
The study investigates how pupils learning English in secondary schools who speak Punjabi, Urdu, or Siraiki fare academically in their mother tongue. Language is a significant phenomenon that is necessary for the classroom education process to succeed. The research focuses on English language instruction for Pakistani pupils. Pakistan was originally a colony. The subcontinent first encountered English in the seventeenth century. Since 1857, English has been the official language in this region. In Pakistan, English is a required subject at the basic and secondary levels. There is not much effort put forward to mandate that students communicate in English on a daily basis while in school. Mother tongues (Punjabi, Urdu, and Saraiki) may have an impact on learning.
