| dc.description.abstract | The title of this thesis isA Study on the Challenges Faced by English Teachers and Students in Using Pair Work. The main objective of this study was to find out the problems in pair work of Grade ten students and explore into the possibility of solving the problems. For this study, I used teaching observation check-list and questionnaires as the tools for data collection.I selected fifty students of ten different government schools of Ilam district to work in the questionnaires.I selected ten government schools purposefully. I observed the classes of the teachers teaching English in Grade ten.After analyzing and interpreting the collected data,it was found that all teachers did not divide the class into pairs, they did not use English as medium language,most of them punished their students. Noise, time consuming,shyness of the students, etc. wereothermain problems in pair work.Forming pairs of mixed–ability students, using simple language in the class, encouraging students,involving students in practice, giving feedback and providing guidance and counseling, giving clear instruction and avoiding immediate correction were suggested as the ways of overcoming the problems in pair work.On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that students should be involved in speaking activity.English should be taught by creating funny environment as children learn effectively and successfully in a learner-friendly environment. This thesis is divided into four chapters: Introduction, Methodology, Analysis and Interpretation and Findings and Recommendations.
