Abstract

Throughout the history of second/foreign language teaching, several methods and approaches have been developed. Among them, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has been a popularly practiced method in the modern context as there are a large number of teachers around the world who claim that they are using CLT. However, previous studies revealed that there is a discrepancy between their claim and their performance in real practice. Therefore, this research aims at exploring the perceptions of Secondary-level English teachers towards the CLT method along with the activities they use and the challenges they encounter. Using a qualitative descriptive inquiry, a close-ended questionnaire was sent via e-mail to the four purposively selected teachers teaching in public Secondary-schools in Kanchanpur, Nepal. In addition, an interview protocol was used with Four of the teachers. The findings of the study revealed that the teachers had positive perceptions towards the CLT method. However, the present study also highlighted that the teachers did not involve many communicative activities which are essentially needed for the successful implementation of the method. This study further exposed that the participants seem encountered several challenges while implementing the CLT method which is quite similar to the challenges faced by the teachers in the region. These results emphasized that the teachers should try to contextualize and maximize communicative activities amidst the challenges.

Abstract

Recently there has been a growing number of interests in classroom research primarily focusing on interaction and language learning as these two issues are considered to be essential components in communicative language teaching which is widely practiced today. This current study was aimed to find out the classroom interaction situation and factors affecting it in public Secondary schools of Kanchanpur district, Nepal. The participants of this study were three English language teachers teaching in the secondary level. The researcher used semi-structured interview and observation of video recordings of classes for collecting the data. In analyzing this study, the researcher used types of interaction proposed by Kumaravadivelu (2006) that include: interaction as textual activity, interaction as an interpersonal activity, and interaction as an ideational activity. The findings showed that all types of interaction activities proposed by him were present in the class. The study also revealed that the teacher often dominated, controlled and initiated the interaction. It further showed that there were several affective factors that prevented the teachers from having classroom interaction. The implication of the study is that the teachers should include all three types of interaction activities in the class and maximize group/pair work for effective teaching and learning of language.
