Abstract
In Pakistan, the Urdu medium of instruction is mostly used for teaching at public and private Higher Education Institutions. Students are facing many challenges to learn the English language through traditional teaching techniques. This manuscript explicitly explains the study of the employment of problem-based learning in higher education institutions of Pakistan where non-native English language students are studying. This is a semi-statistical study in which 900 undergraduate students have participated. The results show that students have a positive attitude in the learning of the English language through problem-based learning and the same technique has a positive impact on the learning skills of learners. The results also indicate that problem-based learning can be implemented on small and medium-scale public sector colleges without any financial impact. The results also indicate that there is a dire need to train the students and teachers in the theory and practices of problem-based learning to successfully implement it in colleges.
