The purpose
of study was to make a historical survey of pedagogic analysis of English
language teaching\learning activities and particularly, this dissertation has
mainly focused on comparative study of latest methods call oral structural
situational approach and communicative approach. The study was carried out with
the hypothesis that "Teaching English at secondary level can effectively
carried out only through the proper use of communicative approach."
It was found that the schools of Kavre
district have not used oral structural situational approach, the teachers and
learners were very interesting to use communicative approach, the target aim of
teaching\learning English language in Kavre district is not fulfilled. The
researcher thinks that similar situation prevails all over Nepal
On the basis of the findings of the
study, the following conclusions have been drawn.
(i)
The teachers of Kavre district
are not fully known about the application of communicative approach, but due to
the lack of proper training, they are not successful to motivate the students
All the teachers and the
headmasters realize that due to present approach teaching new course design,
many students have not failed in S.L.C. examination in English subject as
compared with the previous S.L.C. results.
Still, the teachers have
compulsion to use Nepali language in the classroom because the students have
poor base in English.
Most of the schools have not
provided English newspapers and sufficient materials of teaching aids like
cassette player, visual aids etc. The condition of the libraries is very poor.
The headmasters have no
knowledge of English language teaching, so they feel difficulty to observe the
class of English teachers.
The teachers have no time of
checking homework regularly, because they have to teach six or seven periods in
a day, about 100 students in class.
Mostly, the students do not
know anything about question model of S.L.C. before sent up examination.
The headmasters and the subject
teachers have the following common views about the weakness of students in
English.
English is not our national
language.
The backgrounds of students are
poor in elementary level.
They hesitate to speak English
outside the class room. So, they have to talk in English outside the classroom
also.
