Its main focus is on the effect of the Access Program and public schools ELT practices on linguistic achievement of learners. It is an experimental research in which an experimental group (Access students) was treated through Access teaching model while the controlled group (public school students) was taught through traditional method as used in public schools. All Access students and those public school students who appeared for the test to get admission in the Access Program were the population of the study. The respondents of this study were selected through cluster sampling from the Access Program and random sampling from public schools. A diagnostic test was used as a tool for data collection. The diagnostic test was comprised of two parts: written (assessing reading and writing skills) and oral (assessing listening and speaking skills) parts. It was used as pre and post-test for data collection from the respondents. Data were analyzed through SPSS using independent sample t and dependent sample t tests. There was no statistical difference between the mean scores of the Access Program and public school students in the pre-test while there was a significant statistical difference in the mean scores of the Access Program and public school students in the post-test. The Access Program students showed better linguistic competence and performance than the public school students. Hence, it can be inferred that ELT practices used in the Access Program can bring better results than those used in public schools.  \nKeywords: Access Program, Learning Achievement, Test Score, ELT Practices  \n* Ph.D Scholar, University of Management and Technology, [Lahore.

A large amount of funds and a lot of human resources have been utilized in this program to improve the linguistic performance of students in Pakistan. This research is an endeavor to evaluate whether ELT practices used in the Access Program has some effect on students’ achievement or not. The researcher has observed that this program has been producing better results, though this observation has not been proved through any research (no research has been conducted before to establish this observation) . The observation suggested that within the span of two years, the program has produced confident, accurate and fluent speakers of English language as compared to the students of public schools. The mentioned observation stimulated the researcher to undertake the current study. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of the Access Program (AP) and public school (PS) ELT practices on linguistic achievement of students. For this very reason the prime research question was undertaken‘What is the effect of the AP and PS ELT practices on linguistic achievement of their learners?’  \nThe U. S. Department of State funds for the English Access Microscholarship Program which is implemented in more than 80 countries. It is a scholarship program for the socio-economic disadvantageous youth of 13 – 20year-old. In this program, they learn English language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) in after-school classes and intensive sessions within two years. In addition to language skills, the Access students also gain an exposure to the U.S. culture and democratic values (global culture and values) through enhancement activities (guest speakers, field trips and community service etc) .
