Abstract
This study entitled Teacher’s Perception towards the Use of Multimedia in Teaching English Language was an attempt to explore the role of multimedia in teaching English Language and find out the perception of teachers towards it. It was carried out in Kathmandu district using questionnaire as a tool that consisted of closed and open ended questions. The major findings of the study were that multimedia devices can help for the teachers and students to enhance their academic quality, teacher’s professional development, address the learner’s differences, expand learning options and create favorable learning environment. While visiting different schools and colleges, it was found that the concerned authorities of schools were preparing for equipping institutions with ICT infrastructure and for training to the teachers to use digital technologies. The teachers found to use phone because the schools were not equipped or there is only one multimedia projector which was not sufficient. Teachers prefer audio and video clips rather than graphics and animations because they don’t have idea about creating such materials.
