English Language Education Practices in Nepal

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of English language education (ELE) practices since its adaptation into formal education seven decades ago in Nepal. It serves as a compilation of empirical studies on all aspects of Nepalese ELE practices from hand-picked scholars, and presents a description of the current state of affairs of Nepalese ELE practices. It articulates the concerns and challenges that English language practitioners face between the theoretical standpoints and their implicational concerns in relation to the practice of English, and showcases the diverse states and practices of ELE. Written around practice themes and contexts in which the Nepalese ELE is most resilient, the chapters reveal evolving perspectives and practices adopted by English Language Teaching (ELT) practitioners in their respective contexts. This book serves as a useful resource for teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders who are involved in ELE. It is also a helpful guide for mobile practitioners who teach or plan to teach across international geographical boundaries.
