Abstract

The present research study entitled Classroom Performance of Novice Teacher of English aimed to explore the classroom performance of English novice teachers. To meet the objectives of my study, I purposively selected twenty novice English teachers who have not crossed one year of real teaching experience from different schools of Kathmandu district by using non-random purposive sampling procedure. I have analyzed the classroom performance of three novice teachers on the basis of observation checklist tool with some criteria. From the study, it was found that novice teacher didn’t motivate students while starting lesson, they didn’t revise the previous lesson when they entered inside the classroom, they were found less prepared regarding initiation of the lesson and they were mostly concentrated only subject matter. The 60% novice teachers were found weak in their performance regarding the review of previous lesson, preparation of instructional materials, summarizing the lesson.
