Introduction
It's been observed that schools are facing an array of complex challenges from diverse population of students to integrating new approaches teaching, meeting rigorous academic standards and goals. To meet these challenges educational institutions work more closely with teachers because teachers' growth is directly related to the students' growth.

The main aim of Yaqeen Education Foundation (YEF) is to provide an on-going support to the teachers to grow personally and professionally. As Barth (1991) says, "Probably nothing within a school has more impact on students in terms of skills development, self-confidence, or classroom behavior than the personal and professional growth of their teachers" The main purpose of any professional organization is to revisit and make changes according to the need and circumstances of learning environment.

English language is playing very imperative role for imparting education.

English has now become the dominating language throughout the world and has vital means of communication for million of people around the world. Therefore, English, as second language is the best way to communicate information conveniently to others.
