    (Faculty of Education Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal, 2017) Subedi, Prakash
    Teaching grammar is one of the aspects of language teaching. Different methods such as teaching from rules, teaching from examples, teaching through texts have been employed to teach grammar since the past. Thus, this present study entitled “Exploring Ways for Teaching Grammar lessons at Secondary Level” aimed at exploring the practice ways for grammar teaching at secondary level in terms of; teaching prepositions, articles, tense, tags, causative verbs and subject verb agreement. This research was done to explore the practice ways for each of these grammatical lessons. Both the primary and secondary sources of data were used to carry out this research. Separate tools i.e questionnaire and classroom observation checklists were used to elicit the data. The result shows that most of the teachers use inductive ways to teach grammar lessons focusing on learner- centered techniques. The findings indicated that the teachers can use and select methods on the basis of level of the learners and context and nature of the text. This study comprises altogether five chapters. The first chapter is introductory part which includes background of the study, statement of the problems, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms. Similarly, second chapter includes the review of theoretical and empirical literature and its implications as well as the conceptual framework. In the same way, third chapter deals with the methods and procedures of the study under which design of the study, population sample and sampling strategy, research tools, data collection procedures, data analysis and interpretation procedures as well as ethical considerations are mentioned. Likewise, chapter four comprises analysis and interpretation of results. Chapter five includes summary of findings, conclusion and recommendations. Finally, the references and appendices are included.

He visited the selected schools at different times andadministered the test to the above mentioned population. They were given a limited timei.e. 20 minutes on each. The raw scores of the students were tabulated on the basis ofvariable specified. Simple statistical tools were used to analyze the data by calculating theaverages and percentages. This study found out that the listening comprehension abilityof the 7 graders is quite satisfactory.This study also shows that there was not muchdifference between the students of public and private schools though the private schools'students excelled the public. Similarly, marks obtained by the girls andboys also did nothave much difference even than girls obtained higher scoresthanthose ofboys. This study consistsof four chapters.Chapter one consists of the general background, review of related literature, objectivesof the study, significance of the study and definitionsof the specific terms. Chapter two consists of the methodology of the study. It deals with the source ofdata, population of the study, sampling procedures, tools for data collection, process ofdata collection and limitations of the study. Chapter three consists of the analysis and interpretation of the collected data.
