    Chapter 1: Introduction

    1.1 Introduction

    The first chapter of the research facilitates researchers by providing fundamental details

    regarding the present study. The chapter introduces the topic and issues on which the study is

    based. For this reason, this chapter is symbolized as an introductory chapter which delineate

    the significant features which the researcher aspires to undertake while accomplishing the

    following research. In the context of the present study the researcher aspires to investigate the

    perceptions possessed by parents and communities regarding the importance of English

    language in primary and middle schools within the vicinity of Faisalabad, akistan. This

    particular study will serve as a base for investigation of school development in Faisalabad,

    akistan because no prior study up till now has attempted to explore the school!based issues.

    This particular research will be the first study that in"uires about the erception of arents

    and #ommunities about the importance of English $anguage in rimary and %iddle schoolsof Faisalabad, akistan. In order to achieve the schema of the present study, this chapter

    amalgamates the research ob&ectives, the scope of the study and other important details which

    would enable the researcher to develop the fruitful study.

    1.2 Context of the Study

    $anguage is considered as one of the important instrument that plays a significant role in the

    development of an individual. In the view of %c#aleb '()*+ pp. )-, the proficiency in terms

    of language empowers an individual to establish effective communication. The clarity within

    communication enables an individual to share the thoughts with other people residing withinthe certain vicinity. ccording to $eung, /avison and %ohan '()*0 pp. 012-, language is

    correlated with the culture of the person, along with this language refers to the tool which

    stimulates the process of communication that ultimately leads towards the sharing of the

    ideas and thoughts. In the view of 3a"uedano!$opez, lexander, and 4ernandez '()*+ pp.

    *05!*6(-, the importance of learning foreign languages in developing countries has increased

    with the passage of time7 this is because of the transformation of the world into global

    village. s mentioned by %c#aleb '()*+ pp. )-, English is one of such language which is

    used as a universal language, which is spoken and understood across the globe. Therefore, it

    is believed that learning of foreign language is stimulated with the help of class room support

    which enables the students to learn a certain language in the context of its social relationship.

    In the view of #hen, 4ua, 8hou, Tao, $ee, $y and %ain '()*0 pp. *65-, the emergence of

    globalization has made the multilingual approach of an individual mandatory, which

    ultimately leads an individual to become more competitive in the fiercely competitive

    business world.

    $earning the second language in class rooms allows an individual to communicate with the

    fellow students and teachers, this intra!classroom interactions adds a substantial amount of

    value in the development of confidence within the students 'Evans and #leghorn, ()*0 pp.

    )*!*5-. This means that interactive sessions conducted within the class rooms enable anindividual to incorporate the aspect of proficiency and fluency within the learned language.

    ccording to %c#aleb '()*+ pp. )-, the management of the schools and colleges plays a

    significant role in the success of such second language learning programs as it is their

    responsibility to encourage students to the speak English language in the classrooms.

    s mentioned by $eung, /avison and %ohan '()*0 pp. 012-, the environment in which an

    individual resides also plays a significant role in making children learn a particular language7

    this is because facilitative environment motivates an individual to speak second language

    rather than the native language. In addition to this, the methods employed by the management

    of the schools also plays an important role in making a child learn a particular language other

    than native language. s mentioned by ennycook '()*0 pp. 01-, the establishment of

    English medium culture across the schools enables the management of the primary and

    middle schools to deploy healthy working environment. Therefore, it can be analyzed that

    unplanned learning is better than planned learning. s the unplanned learning encompasses

    the development of certain skills without any conscious awareness of the learner, this

    unplanned learning facilitates the learner to ac"uire certain skill without making an extraeffort. s mentioned by 3a"uedano!$opez, lexander, and 4ernandez '()*+ pp. *05!*6(-,

    the development of an individual greatly depends upon the ability possessed by a person

    regarding grasping of the particular knowledge. 4owever, the interest level of the learner

    works as a stimulator which inclines an individual towards certain domain or sub&ect.

    s mentioned by Tollefson, and Tsui '()*0 pp. *65!(*0-, parents and societal beliefs also

    influence the academic performance of a child. This motivation derived from parents adds a

    substantial value in the development of confidence within the learner. The world is

    transforming into the highly diversified region, therefore learning the second language has

    turned out to be one of the necessities of the present day world. In the view of ennycook

    '()*0 pp. 01-, parent engagement within child academics allows the children to learn more

    effectively, as the creation of facilitative environment at homes provides an additional

    opportunity for the students in a context of learning. s stated by Engestrom '()*0 pp. 2!

    52-, the theory of learning represents the framework which emphasizes the process through

    which certain knowledge is absorbed by an individual. The behaviourism theory focuses on

    the learning carried forward by an individual through observable behaviour. In the view of

    9imonson and 8vacek '()*0 pp. *(-, the behaviourism approach of learning primarily beliefs

    that people learn more in a system in which certain response is exerted by an individual upon

    some stimulus. s far as learning of the second language is concerned the unplanned learningencompasses the behaviouristic approach. :n the other hand, the cognitive perspective

    represents that learning ac"uired by an individual refers to the mental process which entails

    the involvement of individual perceptions, decision!making ability along with the "uality of

    memory. This theory reflects that the entire process of communication and learning

    encompasses the neurological process in which the efficiency of decoding the encoded

    message enhances the "uality of learning. In the view of 3a"uedano!$opez, lexander, and

    4ernandez '()*+ pp. *05!*6(- the societal learning model represents that maximum

    knowledge is ac"uired by an individual when learning takes place in small groups. The social

    constructivism approach portrays that an individual is able to grasp maximum knowledge

    when taught in groups. Therefore, through the analysis of the above!mentioned discussion it

    is "uite evident that perception of the parents and the community are significant in making an

    individual to learn the second language effectively. In addition to this, the learning models

    also represent various schools of thoughts regarding the ac"uisition and utilization of

    knowledge by an individual. In the context of the present study the utilization of the above!

    mentioned learning models would enable the researcher to extract maximum the insightsregarding the perceptions of parents and the society upon the adoption of English language

    within the primary and middle schools.

    where child and individual grow up7 therefore it affects their learning process. The language

    that is used in a particular community affects the process of English language learning of a

    child. The communities consist of the relatives, friends, and other members of a society thathas consistent interaction with children. If English language in fre"uently used in particular

    society then if affects development of a child. Every individual and child has a need to be

    associated with other members7 therefore they adopt rules and practice that is followed in a

    particular society. Therefore, if English language is commonly used by members of

    community then it encourages children to learn a particular language. The community is

    effective in enhancing motivational level of students. If community discourages children

    efforts to learn English language then, they will not be able to get proficiency in it. The

    community provides opportunities to children of real world to learn any language or skills.

    The community helps to provide necessary tools to children to be easily to easily learn an

    English language 'Aeva and aghoub8adeh, ())2 pp. +*!1-. The members of society

    transfer their ac"uired information to children to build their skills in English language.

    s described by Bystrand '())2 pp. +5(!0*(-, the "uality of learning English language is

    dependent on the nature of interaction with society. The community helps children to make a

    clear goal with regard to learning and development of English language. There are different

    types of people who exist in a society and they play a different role in the learning of child.

    There are some members that motivate and facilitate children to enhance their English

    language learning skills. In contrast to this, there are individuals of community that

    negatively affects the growth of a child to learn particular language skills. Therefore, it isconsidered as the responsibility of parents to enhance their relations with members that help
