Abstract
This research study entitled Challenges Faced by Basic Level Teachers in English
Medium Instruction Implementation was conducted to explore the challenges in
implementing EMI at basic level and examine the existing situation of EMI at basic level.
I used qualitative research design and adopted narrative inquiry as the method to carry
out this research work. The population of the research included all the basic level nonEnglish
language
teachers
of
public
schools
from
Kathmandu
district.
In
addition,
four
non-English
language
teachers
were
selected
as
the sample
for
the study
by
using
nonrandom
purposive sampling.
I
conducted
open
ended
in-depth
interview
to elicit
the
required
data.
Moreover,
the
data
were
analyzed
by
using
thematic
approach.
From
the
analysis
and
interpretation
of the
data,
it was
found
that students
enrollment
is
increasing
due
to the
implementation
of EMI
in public
schools.
Likewise,
it
was
also
found
that EMI
enhances
language
proficiency
of the
students and it
would be
very
much helpful
for
their
higher
study,
career
development,
personality
development,
and communication.
However,
it shows that
due
to the
lack
of sufficient
knowledge
of English
language,
reference
materials,
orientation
classes,
appropriate
environment,
coordination
among
the
teachers
and
parents,
time
limitation,
linguistics
diversity
of
the students
and
lack
of ICT
based
materials,
implementation
of
EMI
seems
to
be
challenging.
