For this, I used a qualitative research design and adopted descriptive method to carry out this research work. To carry out this study, five secondary level English language teachers of community schools from Kavrepalanchok district were chosen as sample of study using purposive non-random sampling strategy. The data collected through semistructured interview were analysed using thematic approach. The findings of the study showed that school administration did not much focus in managing materials for teaching listening. Yet, teachers tried to engage the students in listening activities based on whatever materials they could manage themselves.They used activities such as listen and respond, listen and draw, and listen and answer the question given. However, teachers wanted training and materials to engage them in listening activities. This thesis consists of five chapters.
