Abstract
The aim of this study is to conduct action research in the ESL classroom in Islamic institutions in Lahore, Pakistan. This research is conducted to find out the usefulness of Communicative Language Teaching method to teach English by taking into consideration their cultural values and norms. Culture plays a vital role in implementing the CLT methodology. For this purpose 8 male and 7 female students were selected purposefully. The results show that CLT proves to be a good source of learning as the students showed that it is increasingly interesting and effective for building language skills. However, the lack of skilled teachers is hampering the process. Although it was a new thing for the students still they took part in all the activities and seems to enjoy. This reduced their shyness and makes them feel that they are equal stakeholders in the classroom. Students also showed preference to those things which are culturally close to them.
