The idea of this topic reflected me when I was at my practicum place where one of the teachers strictly remained in the boundaries of designed lesson plan and followed it with form and spirit. While another senior and having many years of teaching experience at many reputable institutions in Canada paid a little attention to formal chart of class activities. She claimed that every idea was in her mind and she knew what, when and how to do in her class. My interest doubled when I found her teaching learner-oriented, though her delivery was lacking sequence of activities but the tone of teaching was delightful and understandable. When I looked back to my university classes, Prof (D) balanced the content and form and the lesson plan and performance. He always achieved his target of designed activities within time with sequence. Further he successfully maintained learners' motivation for class activities. Prof (R) neither followed a lesson plan nor any kind of format to engage learners into learning process. Prof (Jan) however strictly followed lesson plan-sequence of activities.

The BISE is well aware of problems and have, introduced drastic measures to help address critical issues as a result. For example, the BISE introduce four measures:(1) introducing the master training program for teachers; (2) introducing vigilance teams to monitor teaching in the classroom; (3) introducing monthly tests to evaluate students" progress; and (4) opening more colleges to reduce the number of students per class. The aim of the current paper is to identify the potential factors affecting the teaching and learning of students in the BISE. Adopting a case study approach, this study suggests that there may be four potential causal factors that undermined the quality of teaching/learning in the BISE: (1) overcrowded classrooms (2) course content (3) teachers" professional development and (4) the examination system. To explore these issues, this study set two research questions:
The Study has looked at the learners" perceptions and instructional strategies in grammar.
