grammar and their actual classroom practices. There was a need of such kind of study
in Pakistani context in order to make teachers realize the importance of knowing one’s
teaching beliefs before moving to changing them. This research is a mixture of
qualitative and quantitative research. Survey questionnaire, interviews and class
observations were used for data collection. Data was collected from three semi
government schools where as five teachers were conveniently selected for class
observations and interviews. The data was analyzed and interpreted to get the final
results. It is concluded that there is a deep woven correlation between teachers’ beliefs
about teaching English grammar and their classroom practices of teaching grammar. It
is recommended that teachers should know their existing teaching beliefs because it is
the need of the hour to improve our educational standards by making positive changes
in the teaching of grammar.

While learning second language, certain forces related to the language affect this process. One of those forces is the interest of this study. Thus, current study investigates how the mother tongue affects students writing abilities, who are taking English as a compulsory subject in middle school whose native languages are Urdu and Punjabi. Without language, education process in classroom would not be possible. Students experience difficulties in native language when speaking and writing English due to interference.

The choice is between teaching L2 through L2, teaching L2 through L1, or teaching using a mix of the two. Communicative language teaching (CLT) is a second language teaching approach that aims to create opportunities for the productive use of L2 in the classroom. CLT has been officially implemented in the Saudi Arabian context since 2004, where the use of L2 in the classroom is now encouraged. However, it is important to consider how well teachers' beliefs align with the specified use of L2 or L1 in the classroom. Importantly, this alignment is not generally taken into account, and so there is potential for resistance to this official pedagogy among teachers. This paper aims to explore the impact of Saudi teachers' reported beliefs on the use of L2 in CLT in observed practice. The methodology this paper employs is a systematic review of the related studies from 2014 to 2019 that examine teachers' beliefs and their alignment with their actual practice in the Saudi Arabian education setting. The results of this review of the studies show that SA teachers believe Arabic is still useful in the typical Saudi Arabian classroom where CLT has been officially adopted.
