The students were divided intoexperimental and controlled groupson the basis of pre-test scores. Both the groupswere taught for 25classes. After experimental teaching, the post-test was administeredby using the same sets of test items.Itis fund thatcooperative language learningmethod was more effective, interactive and fruitful in teaching language functions incomparison to other usual methods since experimental group excelled controlledgroup by6.53percentage in terms of functional category and17.03percentage interms of item category holistically.This thesiswasdivided into four chapters. The first chapter consistedof thebackground of the study, review of the related literature and objectives of the study.Similarly, chapter two includedthe methodologyadopted for the study. It refersto themethodology and procedure followed by the researcher to collect the data fromprimary and secondary sources.

I have done an action research among the class five students to clarify that children learn better through pictures than other materials.It proves that a picture speaks thousand words. They are curious to learn if we show them different pictures related to the curriculum or particular course and teaching learning activities will be effective and fruitful. In this research, I have developed a picture gallery based on the content or syllabus of class five and done an action research. I used mixed research as a method for collecting the data. I collected the pictures that can be used to teach the curriculum of class five in English subject and did different experiment over 21 students by using simple random sampling strategies and took test to find out the pictures are really effective to learn and teach or not.From the data collection, I have finalized that pictorial materials are really effective in language learning. Students can learn and understand language immediately and effectively. Although students understand the content, all of the students couldn’t get as much as satisfactory marks in second test due to their weakness in vocabulary and grammar but they had improved more than how much they could. In my finding, to reduce vocabulary and grammatical problem, pictorial materials or visual aids should be used from the 0 level. And every course book should have included sufficient pictures to teach and learn language. It helps students make creative and increase proficiency level on language and Students learn language effectively. This thesis has been organized into five chapters. This first chapter deals with the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study, and operational definitions of the key terms.

The tests were developedto collect data from the sampled population of eighty students of grade nine ofShree Chandra Ma. Vi. Siraha. These tests were prepared on two levels:competence level focused and performance level focused test items.Competence oriented test items were used to see how they selected suitableverb forms and the performance oriented test items were administrated to findout how theyselected suitableverb form,to express their daily life situations.Both the test items were prepared to identify the errors at the morphologicallevel. To make descriptive study of the morphological errors committed byMaithili speakers, their responses were taken as the data for furtherinterpretation on the basis of which further pedagogical implications could bederived. Item-wise analysis was done to identify the errors and to compare theirstrengths and weaknesses in relation to one another. Holistic analysis was doneto describe the quality of test items mainly in deriving the students commiterrors in selecting verb forms. In totality, sixty percentage students committederrors in attempting performance oriented test items in comparison tocompetence oriented test item. Test item A wasattempted more accurately incomparison to test item B. Twenty percentage students used S + is /am/are +going to +v to express their future plans. Forty percentage students used was /were +v-ed formsinstead of using v-ed while narrating past event theyhad eyewitnessed in person.This thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter one is an introductory. Oneincluding general background, objectives of the study, review of the relatedliterature and significance of the study. Chapter two includes the methodologyadopted to carryout the research. Chapter three consists of the analysis andinterpretation of data.
