Abstract

Over two hundred thousand failed Part-I English in Annual Examination conducted by eleven Boards in 2014 (Punjab, FBISE, AJK Board) (Gul, 2016). One reason of such a large scale failure may be an inappropriate content of the textbooks. The study assumed that the content of Grade XI English (Compulsory) Textbooks did not cater to the interests of the students. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected by Questionnaire from 500 randomly selected students. The analysis demonstrated that content of the subject textbooks evoked antagonistic feelings in the learners which cause failure. The study suggests that a course-content that arrests and maintains attention of learners by designing such activities as are absorbing and inspiring is mandatory to make class environment lively and learning conducive. It is high time that we upgrade the standard of our English textbooks because to be poor in English costs substantially high due to its comprehensive market.
