Abstract

The present study entitled ''Students' Perceptions on the Use of Pair work Technique'' endeavors to identify the students' perceptions on the use of pair work technique in teaching English at secondary level and aims at suggesting some pedagogical implications. In order to collect data, the primary and the secondary sources were used. Forty students studying at secondary level in five different private schools of Kathmandu Valley were selected through simple random procedure. The main tool for data collection was the questionnaire. The participants were requested to respond to those questions. The raw data obtained from them were analyzed and interpreted statistically as well as descriptively. After analysis and interpretation of the data, it was found that students have very positive views about using pair work. Thus, pair work technique is an important technique which can be used to teach English at secondary level. This thesis has been divided into five chapters. The first chapter consists of background of the study, statement of the problem, rationale of the study, objectives, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definitions of the key terms. Chapter two deals with the review of the related literature, implication of the review for the study and finally theoretical and conceptual framework. Likewise, chapter three presents the design of the study, sources of data, population of the study, sampling procedures, tools for data collection, data collection procedure. Similarly, the fourth chapter deals with result and discussion. Finally, the fifth chapter deals with summary, conclusion and implication.
