Abstract

The thesis entitled “Teaching English Through Animation” was an attempt to find out the effectiveness of animation in teaching English in case of primary level (class two) students in a private English boarding school of Kailali district. The study also aimed to suggest some pedagogical implications which will add something to the existing body of knowledge in ELT. To achieve the objectives of research twenty-five students of class two of Rastriya Higher Secondary School, Baliya, Kailali, were selected purposively. For this purpose, I analysed and interpreted pre-test, post-test, progressive tests as well. I used both primary and secondary sources of the data. The primary sources of the data were the twenty- five students of the school and secondary sources of the data that I used were Midas Edukit, Dorling Kindersley Series, Junior Kinder Garten, Nunan, (1992), Sharma and Phyak (2006), Norton (2009) and grade two English text book. In course of analyzing and interpreting the data, I found that the use of animation in teaching English was effective in the classroom in the case of class two students of Rastriya Higher Secondary School, Baliya, Kailali. The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter contains the general background, literature review, objectives, and significance of the study. The second chapter deals with the methodology which further contains the sources of data, tools for data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. The third chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of the data that was obtained from the field. And the fourth chapter includes findings of the study and some recommendations related to the study.
