Analysis of ESL Students' Activities during Summer Holidays in Pakistan
Education is a continuous process, and students need to focus on their academic activities uninterruptedly throughout the academic calendar to achieve their targets. The current study aims to analyze ESL students' activities during the summer holidays in Pakistan. The target population for the current study was secondary school ESL students from the private sector. Sixteen participants were selected by using a convenient sampling technique. The participants were interviewed for gathering qualitative data. The data were analyzed by using interpretive and data reduction techniques. The findings indicate that the participants take part in different co-curricular and extra-curricular activities during the summer holidays. Some challenges faced by students are also highlighted. Based on the results, some implications for ESL students are suggested.
