Teaching Methodology Notes

• Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach — prioritise real-life language use.

• Each lesson should begin with a warm-up (5 min) and end with a wrap-up/reflection (5 min).

• Use pair work and group activities for Speaking and Listening tasks.

• Integrate local context — Nepal-based examples — whenever possible.

• Project work builds 21st-century skills: collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking.

• Differentiate instruction to support learners of varying English proficiency levels.
