Learning second language is a challenging task if the learning is concerned with the vocabulary, grammar, and other skills of L2. The teachers try hard to help and guide the learners to improve the learning process. Globally the same problem exists about the L2. Pakistan is country where L2 learning is difficult for both teachers and students. The results of this study show the same problem and the main reason are the traditional methodologies which are used for teaching. The researcher has selected educational games through the teachers of intermediate level of Sargodha, Pakistan in which they teach English as a subject. The hypotheses show that teaching through games can be more effective. Through quantitative procedure data has been collected from teachers who are teaching English at the elementary level. The research shows the process of using language games and the help which pupils may receive from games. The results of the research show that using games for language teaching are effective for learning vocabulary. However, games should be integrated with proper guideline because difficulties are shown in the research findings such as noise and disturbance in the classroom. It has resulted that language games are effective for learning L2 and teachers should need to integrate language games with other activities in the classroom because students are motivated and learn the language effectively.
Diasporic dislocation due to transcending boundaries and its consequences is a much-focused issue in postcolonial literature. All those writers who are living in a foreign culture have faced this issue. Therefore, the clash between the indigenous and the foreign cultures splits their personalities and they search for their identity. The present research is intended to explore the implicit optimism in diasporic dislocation and its consequences in Bapsi Sidhwa’s An American Brat (2012). This is a qualitative research using an eclectic approach, which is the combination of Edward Sarian and Homi K Bhabha frameworks. The results show that identity crisis is a pertinent concept in diasporic literature and the protagonist in the novel under discussion goes certain transformations. In this process, the heroin of the novel faces a dislocation and a cultural crisis in terms of her cultural identity. She could not assimilate a foreign culture completely due to her indigenous cultural roots to apply Said’s terminology.
Purpose of the study: This study used an Anarchist framework to prove that Thinner than Skin by Uzma Aslam Khan explores the causes of the peripheral communities' shared precariousness and their fight to sustain and conserve life in a world encroached upon by civilization. Methodology: Using Anarchist's (Manicardi, 2012; Zerzan, 2006, Bookchin, 2005) framework that believes that this materialistic worldview can be refuted only by unveiling the oppressive conditions of our modern existence, looking for remedy of people's unbearable misery is tantamount to finding a cure for these miseries. Further, the research is qualitative and analytical in nature, using close textual analysis. Main Findings: The paper finds that Khan highlights the precarious condition of peripheral communities residing in the Northern region of Pakistan. The analysis has proved that Khan's fiction, particularly her novel Thinner than Skin expresses her anarchist vision and shows her detest for modern civilization which being steeped in anthropocentric ideology subjects all forms of life to extinction Applications of the study: The paper helps to identify in future studies that how perpherial people are kept oppressed and marginalized, and how they will be given agentic position to represent themesevels rather they are represented. Novelty/Originality of the study: The study is about nomadic tribes, residing in the womb of Himalayan ranges are subjected to a number of problems including natural disasters such as floods and climatic shifts which causes glacial melt and threatens to drown the adjacent areas in a few decades only to satiate big businesses' thirst for profit. The state fails miserably to defend its citizens from political and economic turmoil because the state serves as handmaiden to western countries and the business interests of their business tycoons.
