Spoken language is usually the first point of social contact. Speaking is a behavioural skill that is used the most and yet most difficult. Teaching English as second language to the student of vernacular medium has always been a challenge. But most of the time teachers never reflect on their teaching and blame students. This is where Classroom Research plays a pivotal role and teachers as researcher can answer their own possible challenges of classroom. A teacher can reflect on his or her teaching and address the necessary issues of speaking skills among the students. This paper will look into the possibilities how a teacher research can help a teacher to explore in a planned way to gather evidence and reflect to overcome his teaching practice and develop language learning in a multilingual context.

It is spoken in Shughnan District and it has more 27000 speakers. It has experienced challenges, especially in vocabulary; for instance, its speakers are losing the indigenous words and replacing them with Persian words. Questionnaire was the tool for collecting the data and participants responded questions in term of their background knowledge. The analysis demonstrates how indigenous words in Shughni language are losing. They are replaced by dominant languages, particularly Persian, which plays a vital role in Shughnan District. Therefore, I conclude by discussing some theoretical and methodological implications that resulted in convincible findings.

However, at this time, the main focus of research was on finding equivalent in these two languages. When translators are going to translation any text from Persian into English language or from English into Persian language, they have to find equivalents in these languages in order to make adaptations. At the same time, technology plays a very important role in translation in the context of Afghanistan. When the teachers want to play any video of native speaker in the class, there should be net, projector, computer and electricity. This paper ends with the role of technology in finding equivalent in academic translation in the context of Afghanistan.
