Teaching speaking skill through picture description method at grade nine

Abstract

The research entitled, “Teaching Speaking Skill through Picture description Method” in grade nine students is way to help students in speaking skills who were comparatively weak than the other skills. In order to carry out this study, I selected 13 students from grade Nine form Laxmi Secondary School Jantedhunga Rural Municipality, Khotang district. In the adequate availability of numbers of teaching speaking techniques, I chose the picture description method considering the ease of students and relevancy of teaching materials to use in the teaching learning processes. In the variation of student’s interest, level, and different social background, I found my students are comparatively weak in speaking skills and I planned to make them speak more than before by carrying out this action research type study. For this purpose of achieving this objective, I taught them for 19 days in extra class except from the usual one. While taking classes I also took three different tests i.e. pre, progressive and post test in order to test their progress than the prior one. Teaching and learning speaking in second language through picture description remained motivating since picture can encourage them from the root level of learning and exploring new ideas and information. In this thesis, there are altogether 5 different chapters, the first chapter deals with background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the problem, research question, significance of the study. Similarly the second chapter deals with review of related theoretical literature and conceptual framework. The third chapter deals with the research design, sources of data, population and sample procedure and method of analysis of data. The fourth chapter deals with results and discussion. And the last fifth chapter deals with conclusion and recommendations.
