Abstract

This study set out to identify the types of hybridity that arise from postcolonial cultural interaction with colonial formation. The depictions of Parvez and Ali from Hanif Kureshi's short story My Son the Fanatic are hybrids, according to researchers. The Homi K. Bhabha concept of hybridity was used in this study, which followed a post-colonialist strategy. Bhabha's viewpoint (1994), it is the result of a tangential interaction in distinct cultures. In this instance, hybridity is understood to be the result of the dominance of colonial power dynamics which involves not only the merging of cultures but also cultural objects that are situated in social as well as historical space as a result of post-colonialism. Due to its significance in analyzing descriptive text in predetermined literary works, the qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this research. According to the research's findings, there are two different ways that hybridity is represented in this research. First, because of the content creation that was created, mimicry has a character that is ambiguous and contradictory in the context of cultural fidelity. Parvez, an individual in the narrative, serves as a metaphor for mimicry. Second, Ali, his son, represented ambivalence in the story. Ali resisted the construction because he understood how colonialism discriminated against his culture, but he was confused about what identity he should adopt. The short story "My Son the Fanatic" by Hanif Kureishi depicts cultural hybridity through the characters Parvez and Ali, who represent mimicry and ambivalence resulting from the dynamics of colonial and postcolonial power.

Abstract

English phraseology is a required subject taught at the Pakistan graduate level. Even after surveying the English terminology for over 14 years, the plurality of learners arriving from non-elite organizations, need the basic grip in English language skills to maintain their elevated schooling and proficient fields. With this reasoning, the recent investigation concentrated on developing English composition and assignment techniques, and in Karachi private non-elite organizations confronted the difficulties while developing these techniques at the SSC (Secondary School Certificate) level. Qualitative as well as quantitative method has been used. The variety of the investigation included 20 SSC level students, 12 SSC level English language teachers of non-elite private schools, and 5 student notebooks. Characteristics were composed through open-ended votes, committees’ consultations, and tablet examination. Data were examined adopting subjective analysis. The conclusions disclosed that developing English language assignment strategies involve reading the passage aloud, paraphrasing the passage, furnishing the basic suggestion and significance of tough phrases to the students. The prominent difficulties struggled by the instructors in instructing reading skills are learners’ absence of attention in reading, absence of pursuit, and soft reading cognition skills. The investigation also indicated methods of teaching writing skills such as the requirement of standard texts and appropriate terminology sections. The main dilemmas while developing writing skills include a shortage of pre-writing recreations, beginners’ deficient grip over vocabulary, punctuation, grammar, and spelling, voluble syllabus, and restricted time.
