To meet the objectives of this study, ten English language teachers of secondary level from five institutional and five community schools located in Kathmandu district were selected as participants. The participants were selected using a purposive sampling strategy. The researcher collected data by using semi-structured interviews. The collected data were first transcribed and then analyzed thematically. After analysis and interpretation of the data, it was found that the majority of the teachers understand the value of learner-centered techniques for effective teaching in ELT classrooms. This study found that teachers faced challenges while implementing learner-centered techniques in their classrooms, for example, limitation of time, a large number of students, and inadequate resource materials.
