'Teaching English Through Communicative Method: A case Study’

Abstract

The research entitled 'TEACHING ENGLISH THROUGH COMMUNICATIVE METHOD: A CASE STUDY', presents on analysis of the use of communicative approach in language teaching. In order to do so the researcher administered the questionnaires and observed the classes of 50 teachers (Government aided School teachers and Private School Teachers; among them some trained and some untrained teachers) of Nuwakot District. The study found out that all the respondents focused primarily on communicative approach to ELT. Private schools teachers and trained teachers were basically found to be the facilitator where as all the respondent teachers faced problems in applying it due to lack of facilities and large size classroom and lack of sufficient training in ELT. Majority of the teachers were found playing the role of facilitators though they faced difficulties applying communicative approach. This study found that all the four skills were integrated in ELT but some of the teachers failed to do so. Interaction was used to achieve the targeted goal of the Commutative Approach in ELT classes where as drilling was also present in it.

The present research is divided into four chapters: The first chapter deals with the general background, characteristics of communicative approach, objectives of the study, significance of the study, and review of related literature. The second chapter deals with the methodology, sources of data collection (primary and secondary), tools for data collection, process of data collection and limitation of the study. Similarly, the third chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of collected data. The data is tabulated and interpreted both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally, the fourth chapter presents findings and recommendations. The findings were made on the basis of the analysis and recommendations were done accordingly.
