In order to carry out this research, I have used non-random judgmental sampling procedures to select five teachers from five government-aided schools in Syangja district. The tools applied for data collection were observation checklist and taking note. The data obtained was analyzed descriptively and interpreted using simple statistical tools. After the interpretation of the raw data obtained from the teachers, it was found that the teachers are using many techniques for teaching a single grammatical item. Like deductive and inductive ways of teaching, lecture, explanation, illustration, demonstration, group/pair, task-based, discovery, teaching through text, elicitation and teaching with fun and games activities techniques while teaching grammar. There is the vast majority to use illustration and task-based techniques in grammar teaching (i.e. 87.5% classes). Likewise teaching through text and lecture/explanation techniques were also mostly used techniques and deductive way of teaching, discovery and demonstration techniques were least used techniques. From the classroom interaction, students enjoyed learning through task-based and teaching with fun and games activities techniques. This thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter consists of background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives and significance of the study.
