Item Effects of intelligence on instructed second language acquisition(Department of English Education, 2012) Gautam, SangitaThe present research work entitled “Effect of Intelligence on Instructed Second Language Acquisition” was an effort to find out the effect of intelligence in EFL classroom where English has been taught and learnt as a foreign language. For the purpose of the study, the third grade students of Kathmandu valley were selected. Language Score and Raven’s Colored Matrixes were the tools of data collection. Raven’s colored matrixes were administered to find out the intelligence of the students. Similarly language scores of students were collected from the school record for finding out their language performance. After finding the bothtypes of data of the individual students, the average intelligence was calculated. From the calculated data it was found that the average score in intelligence and language achievement were not quite related. It showed intelligence and language acquisitions are not related to each other. Similarly, the coefficient correlation between intelligence and language achievement was calculated. The correlation between them also showed the moderate correlation. The average score on intelligence and language acquisition and correlation between them showed that there is no effect of intelligence of individual students on their performance or achievement. Yet, there are some rooms to say other several additional variables like personal and family background of the students bring differences in the students’ performance in language. But we can get enough proof to say that intelligence is not responsible to get proficiency in the foreign language. This thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter deals with the general background, literature review, hypothesis, objectives and significance of the study. The second chapter incorporates the methodology used in the study, the source of data, sampling procedure, and tools of the data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. The third chapter includes presentation, analysis and interpretation and presentation of collected data. The data obtained from the respondents were analyzed and presented systematically in the tables. Then the data are interpreted in terms of average score and Person Product moment of correlation. The fourth chapter deals with the findings, recommendations and pedagogical implications and this chapter is followed by appendices.Item Techniques of Teaching Poetry at Secondary Level(Faculty of English Education, 2021) Karki, NabinThis study entitled "Techniques of Teaching Poetry at Secondary Level" is an attempt to find out the techniques employed in teaching poetry. This research aims to identify the factors affecting the selection of the techniques. The researcher collected the data from both primary and secondary sources. Twenty classes of 20 English language teachers teaching poetry at secondary level schools of Itahari sub metropolitan city were selected using a non-random judgmental sampling procedure and observed by using class observation checklist. Likewise a set of questions were asked to the secondary level English teachers who have been teaching at different 20 schools in Itahari sub-metropolitan city. Through the research it was found that the teachers teaching at secondary level in Itahari sub metropolitan city used teacher centered techniques more than student centered techniques. It was also found that description, drawing background, reading aloud, translation, recitation, memorization, demonstration, summarization, discussion, comprehension, lecturing, investigation, integrating Ed. Tech, group work, pair work, etc are the techniques used by the teachers teaching at secondary level in Itahari sub-metropolitan city. The research found that description technique was used by most of the teachers while thematic description, memorization, drawing background, and summarization techniques were used by least number of the teachers. Similarly different factors such as format of the question asked in examination, classroom setting, students' background knowledge and cultural background, time, material, resources and the nature of the poem are responsible to select the techniques while teaching poetry at secondary level. This study consists of five chapters. Chapter one deals with the general background, problems, objectives, research questions, significance, and operational definition of the key terms and delimitations of the study. Chapter two deals with the review of ix theoretical and empirical literature, implications of the review and conceptual framework. Chapter three includes methods and procedures including design, population and sample and data collection tools. Chapter four entails results and discussion of the data and chapter five includes summary, Conclusion, recommendations and pedagogical implications of the study followed by references and appendices.
