Abstract
Fluency is the backbone and basic component of the reading skills of any language specially a foreign language like English. Secondary level is a complete stage of education in itself as after its completion a certificate is awarded. Secondary level is also a transitionary stage which leads towards higher education. The researcher focused on the evaluation of the teaching of fluency in the English reading at Secondary level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa District Mardan. The data regarding the mentioned topic were collected with the help of class room observation. Ten classrooms of English at Secondary level were selected as sample of the study from 10 different Boys Higher Secondary Schools of Mardan. The observation checklist (sheet) covered all the aspects of the teaching of reading fluency. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed with the help of chi-square formula. The analysis of the data revealed that there is a dearth of highly trained English language teachers in District Mardan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). This research paper is very beneficial for the English teachers especially for the Secondary level English teachers to look back over their practices of teaching English language.
