Abstract

The present study entitled Strategies Adopted in Professional Learning by Novice English Language Teachers is an attempt to find out the ways of professional learning that are adopted to develop professional life of novice English language teachers.

In order to carry out this study, I have collected the data from twenty secondary novice teachers who are teaching in Syangja district.The data collection tool questionnaire consisted of both closed and open ended questions. The major finding of this research is that all the teachers self-monitor/evaluate their teaching. Similarly, only 10 percent of the teachers involved in team teaching whereas 90 percent of candidates were found not adopted this strategy. This thesis has been divided into four chapters.
