Abstract

This research study entitled Teachers' Experiences on the Implementation of EMI in Baglung District was conducted to explore the experience of basic level‟s EMI teachers (except Nepali and English) and to find out the challenges faced by them. For the purpose, I used qualitative approach especially adopted descriptive design to carry out this research. The population of the research were all basic level EMI teachers of Baglung district. Four basic level EMI teachers were selected as a sample for the study by using non-random purposive sampling procedure. I used indepth interview to elicit their stories. The data were analyzed by using thematic

approach. The analysis and interpretation of data found that local parents are excited

about EMI implementation, it is more effective in multilingual classrooms. Likewise,

it is taken as base for developing career and fit on the global market, teachers are not getting sufficient training rated to it. But, some of them do not have sufficient English

proficiency. The controversial policies of government, lack of support from major

stakeholders are pushing teachers to encounter problems in classroom management.

The relation of teacher and students were fading because of the lack of proper

communications.
