  1. The seminar helped the participants to understand the different perspectives on teaching English language. The plenary sessions by keynote speakers were really enlightning, entertaining and thought provoking. I was surprised to see so many foreigners despite the prevailing situation in our country. Indeed it was a bold step on their part to come all the way from Holland, Spain, U.K, etc.and to talk about issues pertaining to teaching the language. Our own local educationists were equally good and hats off to them for throwing such good light on the issues, concerns , problems in Pakistan regarding ELT.A job well done by AKU!
