Abstract

The study shows how classroom processes relate to students' learning outcomes in Urdu and English. For this purpose, five tools were used by the researcher in the Government Schools of Bahawalpur. The observation checklist by (Allwright, 2014); was used to personally observe the lectures of Urdu and English subjects by the researcher to check the verbal interaction between teacher and students and record these lectures. Second tool; test of English for 9th class, third tool; for the test of Urdu 9th class, fourth tool; for the test of English for 10th class and fifth tool; for Urdu 10th class were developed and conducted in same classes where observations were taken. After analyzing the data, the result was concluded, showing that classroom interaction is highly related to student learning outcomes. There was a negligible relationship between classroom management and students' learning outcomes. It was found weak but positive relationship between students learning outcomes and repetition reinforcement. There was a weak but positive relationship between students learning outcomes and encouragement and evoking stimulus by teachers. Research confirms that there was a negligible but positive relationship between teacher information explanation during lectures and students' learning outcomes. So Teachers should spend more time on students' learning instead of classroom management, discipline, and behaviors. Teachers are the lighthouses; who are working to guide the learners. Policy recommendation for Government Schools is; that highly qualified teachers should be appointed in Schools who are experts in the subject language, have effective communication skills, and have command of teaching and learning processes. Government should provide facilities to schools like language laboratories for language teachers for the better and more effective learning environment
