“…All linguistic levels, including phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexicon, syntax, and discourse, are expected to be significantly impacted by transfer (Wang, 2021). Also, pupils translate every single word into English, which is another negative connection between the first and second languages (Olana et al, 2015). When learning a second language, two kinds of transfers happen: positive and negative.…”

Learning another language which is crucial for academic and professional purposes has been an important focus of research. While learning second language, certain forces related to the language affect this process. One of those forces is the interest of this study. Thus, current study investigates how the mother tongue affects students writing abilities, who are taking English as a compulsory subject in middle school whose native languages are Urdu and Punjabi. Without language, education process in classroom would not be possible. Students experience difficulties in native language when speaking and writing English due to interference. Current research focuses on influence of mother tongue on Pakistani pupils' development of writing skills while studying English as compulsory subject in the classroom. A random sample of 50 pupils in grades 6, 7, & 8 aged amid 11-14 years was chosen from 3 schools, all speaking Urdu & Punjabi as their mother tongues. The Contrastive Analysis Model developed by Robert Lado (1957), proposed by Ellis (1985) was used to analyse data. Results reveal that errors in word order, grammar, & spelling were caused by L1's interference in pupils' writing in target language. Findings suggest that teachers should do the need analysis of the students at beginning of sessions with help of relevant and appropriate tools.

This regimented Earth has an ubiquitous sagacity and it largely depends upon the generous people, who do lead this wide-ranging globe in a befitting manner. But all the countries are not extremely developed in this massive Earth. Some are truly developing in deed. Moreover, those countries do not have the civilized infrastructure so far. In other words, they do not have the destined educational backbone due to limited net work and some inappropriate movements, respectively. That is the reason why they are in the mouth of unavoidable socioeconomic challenges since long. Besides their societal sustainability are being gradually uncertain and they are coming below a poverty line. They depend on the natural resources. Otherwise, they do not have the promising options to maintain their social momentum as a hole. Moreover, social fund strikes all those environmental issues along with a massive environmental need. Therefore, both social fund and the needful agricultural development might restrict the socioeconomic issues and, on the contrary, it might ensure the national gravity of a country to make it developed from the perspective of enriching infrastructure and handsome economic affluence, respectively.
