Abstract
A rich curriculum contributes towards producing better humans. The
study targets assessing moral values embedded in English textbooks HSC-I&II
taught to college students of Baluchistan as recommended by Baluchistan board.
Moral values tend to be developed through curriculum taught to students at
school, college and university for sake of character-building. English textbooks
HSC-I&II content was inspected systematically from stand point of infusing
moral values among novice learners. At first, certain moral values were
explored and enlisted from existing literature and then textbook content was
critically analyzed using content analysis tactic method. Different moral values
found in the textbooks under scrutiny were categorized and enlisted. The
research findings showed content of HSC-II English language textbook
contained certain moral values-related content adequately whereas; HSC-I
textbook lacked moral values exhibition. It is fact college students pursue good
impression from textbooks because their minds are still raw at this stage of life.
Henceforth, this study recommends addition of additional Islamic and ethical
values in English language textbooks taught to college students at intermediate
level for grooming their personalities and character building which pay back in
numerous ways in personal and professional life of these students.
