Currently, the hostel life is so necessary for the students. During their higher studies, the students face a lot of problems of accommodation. After the solution of accommodation, the students face the issues in the hostels regarding their provided services. The data of students’ feedback is gathered from the Director MIS, MUET, Jamshoro by taking the sample of 60 students from each boy’s hostel. For analysis, we use the tool Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS V.16). This study revealed the analysis of two services, water supply and first aid in the seven boy’s hostels of MUET, Jamshoro. The null hypothesis is accepted for all hostels except Rashidi, Hyder Bux Jatoi and Shah Abdul Latif. These results determined the strong relationship between the services water supply and first aid. From this study, we suggest to authorities of the university management to provide the necessary betterment regarding the water supply and first aid facilities in Rashidi, Hyder Bux Jatoi and Shah Abdul Latif hostels.

Methodological Aspects

This chapter investigates the didactic potential of a project-based learning (PjBL) methodology as a means of modernizing curriculum and improving an ESP course at the university level. The chapter outlines in detail the main elements of the negotiated teaching framework and discusses why such a methodology is appropriate for teaching communicative competence and developing learners' performance in English in a professional context. It also presents practical devices for the implementation of the designed conceptual framework. The first part of the chapter focuses on outlining methodological aspects of the undertaken case study. The second part concentrates on the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the results of the PjBL framework intervention. Within this context, a discussion about the influence of the PjBL course implementation on 48 students is provided. The authors also specify some factors contributing to the effectiveness of the development of learners' target skills attributed to the introduction of the featured model for the ESP project-based course.
