Recognizing this gap, this book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research priorities and initiatives in English language teaching, learning, and assessment, as well as empirical developments and significant professional development initiatives in both Pakistan and involving the work of Pakistani scholars based abroad. It highlights the profound impacts that development efforts are having on the field of English language teaching in Pakistan.

The book is organized into several chapters, each addressing diverse topics relevant to the field of English language teaching in Pakistan. These chapters cover a wide range of subjects, including continuous professional development (CPD), identity construction, English language policy, curriculum development, and innovative ELT approaches and methodologies employed in the country.

By presenting a wealth of information and insights, this volume serves as a valuable resource for TESOL and applied linguistics scholars and practitioners engaged in the field of ELT, both in Pakistan and across the globalized world. It offers valuable perspectives and methodologies that can contribute to the improvement of English language teaching and learning outcomes in Pakistan and beyond.

Overall, this book is a significant contribution to the literature on English language teaching and teacher development in Pakistan and provides valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in the field.
