The perception of undergraduates on the use of GramCHQ (Gram-Checked) for online distance learning (ODL) during the COVID-19 pandemic / Kimberley Lau Yih Long, Christine Jacqueline Runggol and Jacqueline Susan Rijeng
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our education system whereby the largest online movement in the history of education was witnessed and the way lessons were delivered was reshaped. The use of Grammar teaching tools from traditional white boards to electronic screens is worth investigating, espe...

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our education system whereby the largest online movement in the history of education was witnessed and the way lessons were delivered was reshaped. The use of Grammar teaching tools from traditional white boards to electronic screens is worth investigating, especially from the viewpoint of first year Diploma undergraduates as they transitioned from secondary education to tertiary education. This paper presents the acceptance of using GramCHQ (Gram-Checked), a grammar teaching tool designed for Integrated Language Skills 1 (ELC121) ODL lessons. The objectives of the study were to identify the perceptions of undergraduates towards lessons conducted using GramCHQ and elicit their feedback on the effectiveness of GramCHQ lessons. A total of 97 undergraduates from four different Diploma programs participated in this study. They were guided on how to use GramCHQ before being asked to experience the lesson themselves. After the lesson, they were asked to fill in e-questionnaires designed in Google Form. The findings from the survey revealed that participants reacted positively to GramCHQ with high learner's self-perceptions of GramChQ usefulness (m=4.12). In addition, good perceptions (m>3.80) were obtained in terms of GramChQ’s interest, relevance, presentation, technology, enjoyment, memorisation and future demand.
