Abstract
This research entitled Female Teachers' Motivational Factors in Teaching English was an attempt to explore the Female Teachers' motivational Factors in teaching English. The objectives of my study were to explore and analyze motivational factors that influence in the female teachers' teaching at basic level and to suggest some pedagogical implications. I used to qualitative approach, under this approach I used to narrative inquiry for the data collection. The sample of the study included four female English teachers of basic level from Kanchanpur district. They were purposively selected. I collected data through face to face interview. The study was mainly based on primary sources of data. It also included secondary sources of data. The primary sources were the four female teachers teaching at four different public schools at Kanchanpur. The findings of the study showed that the female teachers are motivated to their profession by their teaching responsibility and accountability, family support, respect by society; their interest and desire to work, student's behaviour, support from the colleagues, whereas the hindering factors are insufficient salary, gender inequality, and lack of administration support, transport problem and lack of training. The findings showed that female teacher faced most of the challenges and tension due to their gender. Dual responsibility makes them even more depressed. Transport is the major problem for women. Poor socio-economic condition of the area where school is situated decreases the teacher's motivation.
