Abstract
This study entitled, "Implementation of Training Skills for the Professional
Development of Teachers" aims to explore the implementation of training skills by
secondary level English teachers. I have adopted the narrative inquiry as the research
design. The study was based on primary and secondary sources of data. The primary
sources were the three ELT teachers teaching at three different public schools of
Kathmandu valley. I have collected data through interview and observation. The
collected data were first viewed historically then analyzed thematically. The research
shows that all the teachers under study were well-qualified, long experienced and
certified with TPD training. However, they did not reflect the learnt training and
techniques in real ELT classroom. When I observed the classes of teachers their
classroom behaviour displayed that they could not prove themselves as they were
trained teachers. The classroom practice of training was found poor mainly in lesson
planning, construction and use of ELT materials. The sampled teachers were found
reluctant to implement the learnt skills and knowledge in the ELT classrooms due to
lack of sufficient resource materials, unfriendly school environment and weak
supervision and monitoring mechanism.
This thesis is organized into five chapters. The first chapter deals with the
introduction of the study along with the background of the study, statement of the
problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study,
delimitations of the study and operational definition of key terms. The second chapter
contains the review of related literature, implications of the review of the study and
conceptual framework. Similarly, the third chapter includes methods and procedures
of the study. Likewise, the fourth chapter deals with the results and discussion of the
data. Finally, chapter five comprises the conclusion, implications and
recommendation in the policy related, practice related and further researches. At the
