The research followed narrative inquiry under qualitative- research design. Semi-structured interview with five non-English teachers was the main research tool to collect data. Participants were purposively selected from five different schools. The collected data were interpreted and analyzed thematically and descriptively. The research reveals that teachers are in favor of EMI in community schools realizing the importance of English language at present time but they are not enjoying the current practices. Similarly, it is also found that there is vast gap between the formulated polices and the ground level practices. Furthermore, it is found that EMI has become more challenging now because of many circumstances such as lack of due level of preparedness from the stakeholders (educationists, policy makers, local levels, teachers, students, parents, institutions etc.), and governmental side. Furthermore, the research shows the needs and interest of students and parents on EMI is increasing in community schools but it has become difficult for teachers which has created a pressurized condition in school level education system. Finally, it is concluded that, for the effective implementation of EMI, all community schools should be prepared well and, the effective supportive system should be provided by the concerned educational authorities.
