English Language in Grade Eight" for this, Shree Jyoti secondary school,
Topgachhi, Jhapa was selected purposively. Thirty students studying in grade 8
were the primary source, since the primary date for the study were obtained by
administering tests among them. Then they were divided into two groups on
basis of result of test to make equal level of proficiency of both the groups and
were termed as 'control' and 'experimental'. Both the groups were taught the
selected items for the equal length of time by the researcher. But the control
groups were taught without using teaching materials, except the textbook and
blackboard, whereas, the experimental group was taught using teaching
materials. At the end of the classroom teaching, a post-test was administered
with the same set of items used in the pre-test. The obtained data were
compared, analyzed and interpreted to determine the effectiveness of teaching
materials. The study found that the teaching materials have very high positive
effect on teaching English, since the experimental group performed better in all
the areas in post-test except in listening ,with higher progress rate in comparison
to that of 'Control' group whereas ,live voice of the teacher was found effective
to teach listening.
