Effect of Activity Based Teaching on Public Sector College Students' Academic Achievement in the Subject of English
The study was aimed to find out the effect of activity-based teaching on students' academic achievement in the subject of English at grade XII. It carried a quasi-experimental Pre-test Post-test design. A public sector girls' college of district Lahore was selected as a cluster. Two intact groups were selected randomly. The experimental group was taught with the help of self-designed activities, and the control group was taught the same subject through the lecture method. Data was collected through an achievement test of English. Data were collected on a pre-test and post-test basis. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. The effect size was calculated through Cohen's d value of significance. It revealed that instructional activities had a significant effect on students' academic achievement in the subject of English at grade XII. English teachers are recommended to teach the subject of English with the help of activities to improve students' academic achievement.
