Abstract
This thesis entitled “Techniques of Teaching Short Stories at the Secondary
Level” has been carried out to find out the techniques used in teaching short
stories by English teachers at secondary level. To fulfil the set objectives of
the study, the researcher has chosen the case study design. I had analysed
the data on the basis of activities recorded/noted from the class observation.
For this study I used judgmental non-random sampling procedure to select
two secondary level English teachers from two schools of Pyuthan district. I
observed 30 classes (15 classes of each teacher) of those purposively
selected secondary level (class ten). I used diary writing as well as ticked on
the observation checklist. After analysing the data it was found that teachers
used the student centred teaching techniques i.e. interaction technique,
discussion technique, problem solving technique and question answer
technique.
