Research on reflective practice is prevalent in school level and not so much in university level. Therefore, this research entitled Reflective Practice: A Professional Learning of English Teachers is an attempt to find out if university teachers specifically of Tribhuvan University practice reflective practice in their classrooms and to unwrap university teachers' experience on reflective practice with the help of stories. I purposefully selected two university teachers from Tribhuvan University, Central Department of English Education, Kirtipur. Non-random purposive sampling procedure was used to select the university and the teachers. Interview guidelines were used to collect the data and stories of the university teachers were recorded. The findings of the study showed that teachers of Tribhuvan University practice reflective practice on their own efforts which has helped them in their professional learning. They shared their reflective experiences to students or expressed through journal publication. Although the university was not found to have any programs for the teachers to practice reflective practice, these intrinsically motivated teachers have practiced it in their own ways.

It also aimed to find out the teachers’ opinions towards teaching free writing.This research was based on survey based quantitative research design.In order to achieve these objectives, 15secondary level (especifically at grade 9)English teachers of Itahari sub metropolitan city were selected as the sample of the study through the use of purposive sampling procedure and observation checklist and questionnaire were used as the data collection tools. The data were collected, analyzed and interpreted by using simple statistical tools and description with percentage tables. The findings of the study showed that, all the teachers used these techniques in good way, they are: providing importance of writing composition, giving the significance of writing composition of that particular topic and asking the students to check their composition again to ensure clarity. And most of the teachers used oral medium for instruction in their classes. It was also found that the techniques that the teachers applied in real classroom teaching were not matching with what they theoretically mentioned in the questionnaire. From the overall findings, this study shows that most of the teachers were good in pre-teaching, while-teaching and post-teaching phase of teaching free writing. Very few have been found as an excellent and some of them were poor as well. That’s why, they should be provided training. In the same way, most of the teachers used only oral form for instruction. And they faced some problems while teaching free writing. In my view, it is better to use both mediums for instruction because only oral medium the students may not get the enough information and training should provide to the teachers for using techniques in VIII excellent way. Mostly, writing has taken as examination point of view. So, the students do not have enough practice in writing. Therefore, the problems occur in teaching writing.This thesis has been divided into five different chapters.
