I collected the data by administrating the questionnaire to 10 teachers of higher secondary schools of Kanchanpur district and 20 classroom observations of those teachers i.e. two of each teacher by using classroom observation checklist. They were from different higher secondary schools of Kanchanpur district. Two types of questionnaire (close-ended and open-ended) and classroom observation checklist were employed to elicit data. The sample of the study was selected through purposive non-random sampling procedure. The data were analyzed and interpreted in order to find out their beliefs and practices of using mother tongue in EFL classroom. I had conducted survey research to achieve the objective of the study. The major findings of the study show that mother tongue use in ELT classrooms is believed as positive and should be used in English classroom by teachers. The teachers used it for teaching difficult vocabulary, abstract concepts, to teach poems and other forms of literary genres/literature. Most of the teachers used mother tongue 10 to 15 minutes in English classrooms at higher secondary level. Moreover, it was believed that use of mother tongue is beneficial at higher secondary level in EFL classrooms; but it was also found that overuse of mother tongue in EFL classroom may hinder learning of the students. It is recommended that teachers are required to get training regarding appropriate and judicious use of mother tongue in EFL classrooms. This thesis consists of five chapters.

This research also attempts to study the advantages and disadvantages of using mother tongue in teaching English. The researcher collected the data by distributing the questionnaires to altogether 20 parents and 20 teachers from six different primary schools of Taplejung district. The samples of this data were selected through purposive non- random sampling. Two sets of questionnaires were used to gather the data. The obtained data have been analyzed in order to meet the objectives of the study. The major finding shows that the role of mother tongue in teaching English at primary level is vital. The teachers used the mother tongue for cultural translation and breaking the monotony of the students in the classroom. Moreover, it has been perceived that mother tongue is used to find out the main idea of the text in shorter time but it hinders to develop communicative competence in the target language on the part of learners and students become habituated to learn only through mother tongue even in the great level (i.e. grade 6- 10). This thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter is introduction of the study. The introduction consists of background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms. The chapter two deals the review of theoretical literature that consists of review of theoretical and empirical literature including conceptual framework.
