Title ENHANCING WELL-BEING THROUGH ENGLISH GRAMMAR: A CASE STUDY OF HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Author(s) Nimrah manzoor

Abstract In addition to the learning needs of English language students, their psychological well- being remains an important consideration in English language teaching. This study aimed to investigate the impact of integrating Seligman’s (2011) PERMA model into the teaching of English grammatical tenses on both PERMA-based sentences construction and the well-being of higher secondary school students in Pakistan. The study employed a quasi- experimental, mixed-methods case-study design. The sample included 50 female students from a private college in Rawalpindi, divided into an experimental group (n=25) receiving a PERMA-based intervention through using techniques of CLT, and a control group (n=25) taught through the non-PERMA example sentences. The results of paired t-test analysis of the pre- and post-test quantitative data showed both groups had similar mean scores with no significant differences (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements across all elements compared to the control group (p < 0.001). These results indicate that the intervention was highly effective. Additionally, qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews indicated a noticeable enhancement in students’ well-being, as they reported increased positive emotions, deeper engagement in enjoyable activities, stronger relationships, a clearer sense of meaningful life, and a greater ability to set and achieve regular, small goals. The findings suggest that incorporating well-being principles into the English language teaching can create a more holistic and engaging learning environment, benefiting both academic performance and overall well-being.
