Abstract

For international students, learning English has never been easy, particularly when it comes to developing speaking and listening abilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the challenges associated with learning English language for SSC students at Higher Secondary School in the southern Punjabi district of Lodhran. Due to inadequate funding, unskilled instructors, a lack of multimedia project teaching and learning systems, and a lack of an English language environment, many kids do not acquire a Standard Education of English. It looks at inspiring young students to be able to acquire the fundamentals of four skills even in the absence of state-of-the-art resources. The researcher analyzed and gathered data for this aim using a questionnaire. Two hundred pupils were given a number of sets of questions to determine their basic proficiency in the English language. 100 pupils each, male and female. Students' varying opinions regarding the difficulties of learning English were expressed in their answers to questions. Analysis reveals that speaking skills, vocabulary, and English grammar are areas in which pupils struggle. The researchers made a conclusion and made suggestions after comprehending the intricacies involved in their English acquisition.  The goal of this study is to present a fresh perspective on English language instruction for Punjab secondary school students in the Lodhran District.
