Abstract
The present thesis entitled Strategies Employed by the English Teachers During
the Pandemic is an attempt to find out the strategies used by the secondary teachers
for handling classes in the difficult pandemic situation. To meet the objectives of
study, a survey research design was adopted selecting 20 secondary level English
teachers from 10 secondary schools of Baglung district as sample to collect the
intended data. In those schools, there were mostly 2 or 3 teachers teaching at classes
9, 10, 11 and 12. So, due to the remote areas and lack of several schools in rural
municipalities, 2 teachers from each school were selected. Non-random judgmental
sampling procedure was used to select schools and teachers. Close-ended and openended
questions
were
included
in the questionnaire
and
used
as
a
research
tool
to
elicit
the required
data.
The
collected
data
from
the
respondents
were
analyzed
and
interpreted
using
simple
percentage
and
number
of
participants
descriptively.
From
this
study,
it
was
found
that,
problem
solving
and
student
centered
methods
were
very
useful
strategies
to teach
English
subject
through
virtual
means
in
COVID-19
pandemic
situation.
Similarly,
ELT
teachers
could
solve
academic
and
technological
problems
by
using
lesson
plans, making
notes
and
encouraging
students to
listen
radio
programs.
