This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of interactive teaching methods in fostering ethical and social skills in students at secondary-level schools for implementing standards-based education in Sindh, Pakistan. Non-participation observation was adopted by using an observation inventory of ethical and social development as the research instrument for data collection. Students enrolled in grade X were targeted for the data collection and randomized into two groups of classroom size. One was taught through the currently practicing teaching methods and the other was taught through the interactive teaching methods. The obtained numerical data was analysed using statistical tools to compare the groups’ mean values to measure the effectiveness of teaching methods in students’ ethical and social development. The findings determined that interactive teaching methods were significantly effective in fostering students’ ethical and social skills and values while teaching them the English language. The findings of the study suggest that using interactive teaching methods possesses more opportunities to follow ethics and interact socially to be groomed while learning the English language.
