Abstract:
Language policy awareness in language teachers training is essential
for achieving learning objectives in a formal set-up.Awareness of
language policy is generally ignored in English language teachers
training and curriculum development in Pakistan. This creates gaps in
integrating language teaching as an aligned component of education. A
study intended to explore the significance of language policy
awareness in English Language Teaching (ELT) was conducted in Mardan,
Pakistan, 45 trainee teachers and 25 in-service teachers of ELT of two
postgraduate departments, participated. The study found out that ELT
failed in achieving the broader educational aims because teachers
lacked awareness about language policy. Further, accommodating
language policy in the teachers training and curriculum development
will help in improving ELT.
