Title Peer Coaching and Professional Development: Enhancing English Language Teaching in Pakistan

Author(s) Mehnaz Kousar

Abstract This study explores the impact of peer coaching as a professional development strategy to enhance English Language Teaching (ELT) in Pakistan's higher education context. Focusing on lecturers at The University of Lahore, Lahore campus, who participated in a peer coaching program from September 2023 to January 2024, the research adopts a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through document analysis and interviews and analyzed using descriptive and content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that peer coaching—structured around pre-observation planning, classroom observation, and post-observation reflection—significantly improved instructional strategies, classroom management skills, and collegial relationships among English lecturers. Participants reported increased collaboration, a stronger sense of community, and enhanced teaching confidence. However, the study also identifies key challenges, including the need for communication training, time allocation, and institutional support. The research highlights the untapped potential of peer coaching in Pakistan’s higher education institutions and recommends its integration into teacher development programs to address gaps in pedagogical training and improve ELT effectiveness.
