Descriptive research design was adopted. Five English teachers teaching in community schools of Lalitpur district were chosen using purposive sampling to gather information. Interview guidelines and observation checklists were used as tools for data collection. The data was analyzed and interpreted using descriptive approach. The findings of the study showed that all the participants were not involving students to talk on topic, using indigenous knowledge, providing materials, treating learners as cultural informants for negotiation and fostering language awareness and cultural consciousness to the students. All students were not seen with own ideas and opinion and working in pair and group. It is also explored that the tendency to PMP was good but their views indicated poor in application. However, they seemed quite eager to apply in their classes too but they forwarded various problems and challenges for adoption. Teachers were habituated on predetermined methods so they did not like to shift toward PMP. This paper contains five chapters.
