Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world. Unexpectedly, the education system in Pakistan is quite orthodox in teaching and learning. There are numerous educational institutes in Pakistan but they are rigorously following conventions. There are problems with infrastructure, and in some areas, the basic facilities are also not there. Sometimes the classrooms are overpopulated, and sometimes there are places where no teacher is available to teach the students. There are instances where the basic infrastructure is not complete and there are no proper classrooms for teaching and learning. All these factors are causing a lot of problems for learners to compete in the modern world. English enjoys the status of official language in the country but, surprisingly, learning English is a troublesome area. There are problems not only in basic English language learning but also many second language learners face problems when they appear in international tests and competitive examinations. English language classrooms are usually boring and uninteresting. Therefore, this book is written with an aim to provide alternative solutions to the conventional methods by integrating modern technology tools in Pakistani classrooms. The scope of this book is widened for language researchers, policymakers, readers and administrators of the government to analyse some of the problems and issues mentioned in this book and develop a roadmap for better education.

Some of the key elements of this book are as follows:

- This is the first research-based book to explore some of the latest research tools in Pakistani classrooms

- This book is based on research-based chapters

- Shows pictures of local English language classrooms

- Provides insights and practices for integrating modern methods in English language classrooms
