Personal Pronouns in English and Doteli Language: A Comparative Study
(2025) Awasthi, Ramesh Prasad; Guru Prasad Poudel
This study Personal Pronouns in English and Doteli Language:A Comparative Study aimed to analyze the personal pronouns as they are used in Doteli and English languages. The data were collected from thirty Doteli native-speaking students of Ajayameru Rural Municipality, Dadeldhura, selected through random sampling. Using a survey research design, the study employed questionnaire as the primary tool for data collection. The data were transcribed, tabulated, and analyzed descriptively within the framework of contrastive analysis theory. The findings show that Doteli has a greater number of personal pronouns than English, with the addition of the suffixes -lai and -khi to mark the objective case, a feature absent in English. Furthermore, Doteli distinguishes between honorific and non-honorific forms in the second- and third-person pronouns, whereas English does not have such distinction. Unlike English, which uses distinct pronouns (he and she) for gender differentiation, Doteli employs the same third-person pronoun “U” for both male and female, with gender distinctions instead reflected in accompanying adjectives and verbs. These insights indicate structural and cultural differences in the use of personal pronouns across the two languages.
This study is organized into five chapters. The first chapter presents an introduction, including the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study, and definitions of the key terms. Moreover, the second chapter reviews related literature, outlines the implications of the study, and present the conceptual framework. In the same way, Chapter three describes the research methodology, including sampling procedures, data collection tools, and process of data collection. The fourth chapter focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the collected data. Finally, Chapter five refers to the findings, and recommendations, followed by the references and appendices. .

(2025) Makhim, Sanjita Hang; Gopal Prasad Pandey
The present thesis entitled Classroom Activities Adopted by Novice English
Language Teachers in Teaching Writing Skills aimed to explore classroom
activities adapted by novice English teacher for developing writing skills. To
accomplish this study, I adopted qualitative research design. I collected data through
classroom observation check list and interviews with the selected participants. I
selected five novice English language teachers from different schools of Dhankuta
district by using non-random purposive sampling procedure. I analyzed the
instructional writing activities of five novice teachers through classroom observations
and interviews, using an observation checklist and semi-structured questionnaires as
the primary tools for data collection. The major findings were that novice teachers
used product and process-oriented writing approach to ensure learners creative power
for the writing skills. Novice teachers faced various challenges in teaching writing in
the classroom, study also reveals that teachers motivated their students and used
materials to insure them in writing. In addition, novice teachers took help from
experienced teachers and administration for solving the classroom problems.
This chapter was structured into five chapters. Chapter one consists of
background of the study, statement of problems, objectives, research questions, and
significance of the study, delimitations of the study, and operational definitions of key
terms. Chapter two is related to literature review and it includes related literature sub
topics. Simply chapter three deals with methods and procedures of the study. Chapter
four incorporates the analysis and interpretation of the collected data and the fifth
chapter discusses the conclusions and implications of the study.
Social Process of Cultural Trauma in Khalangama Hamala
(2025) Dulal, Sudip
Khalangama Hamala is a trauma narrative of a young girl, Radha Paudel. It is a live
story of the day of the Maoist attack on Khalanga Bazaar and hardship of Jumli people from
the prospective of a health worker. Paudel has presented detail on what had come about
during the day of assault at Khalanga. She clears line between perpetrator and victims and
becomes very objective in the representation of the events at the same time her protrusion is
parted. Researcher claims such a projection of binary between two rebelling forces and
finger-pointing at narratives do not lead society into reconciliation and ever lasting peace
settlement rather it raises a sense of revenge among the conflicting groups and ultimately
leads to never ending divergence. To analyze such a complicated composition of the society,
I adopt the theoretical tool eni by Jeffrey C. Alexander: Cultural Trauma. This theory deals
with how does identity of social group configure and refigure within their societies? How
does a suffering of a certain member will be the suffering of the entire cultural group? Who
and how victimized narrate their horrendous incidents? How can the war be end at
reconciliation? At the same time, I seize some idea from Anker smith and Ronald Barthes
who focus on dialogic nature of language and unpredictability respectively. I assume author
as ethical and moral character of society they should focus on what is right instead what truth is.
