The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) advocates for the promotion of skilloriented, life skill-based, employment-driven and value-based school education.
It envisions developing the human capital dedicated to nation, nationality, national
integrity and Nepali specialty. English textbook for grade 11 has been prepared
following the spirit of NCF 2076 and Secondary Level Curriculum 2076 (Grade 11
and Grade12). An attempt has also been made to incorporate the emerging needs of
learners. The book includes the contents to develop all four language skills blended in
the tasks and activities with contextual grammar and related vocabulary.
The book has two sections: language development and literature. The language
development section includes a range of contemporary issue-based local and global
thematic texts intended to develop intensive reading skills and foster competence in
grammar, vocabulary, speech and writing of different types. The literature section
includes genre-based literary texts for both intensive and extensive reading so as to
enable the learners to discern different aspects of the literary texts and practise creative
writing. Each text is followed by adequate exercises to foster creativity and critical
interpretation in the learners along with interactive skills and sensitivity about the
culture and tradition.
