Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar

Abstract

This study assessed the effectiveness of the Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar developed by the researcher. The material was tried out to the BA English Language and BA Literature students of CTU-Tuburan Campus to determine its effectiveness. After using the material, a summative test was administered to determine their grammatical competence. Questionnaires were also accomplished by the students to gain an in-depth understanding of their attitude towards the use of the material. The result of the summative test revealed that the students’ grammatical competence was fairly competent. They have developed their grammatical competence after using the material, from being low-performing to fairly competent. However, it is highly reasonable to state that their grammar skills need to be further improved to particularly support their writing skill. They also showed a very positive attitude towards the material and found it very useful and effective. Thus, the Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar was recommended for use in the grammar intervention program of the BAEL and BAL students.
