Description
Summary:This study was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of integrating movie clips in the teaching and learning of English grammar in an industrial training institute. The study was designed to investigate whether integrating movie clips in English grammar lesson will affect students‘ performance in grammar. It also examined students‘ feedback towards learning English Grammar through integrating movie clips in their grammar lesson. The study was conducted within a period of six weeks where respondents were divided into two groups namely the experimental group and control group. Three types of activities were carried out during the treatment period for three week continuously on the experimental group. On the other hand, the control group was exposed to the same grammatical item using the traditional method. The differences in students‘ performance were tested using Pretest and Post-test. Students‘ feedback on learning grammar through movie clips was gathered using questionnaires. Results gathered showed that teaching of grammar using movie clips has the most significant improvement compared to the traditional method. Feedbacks from the questionnaires also showed that almost all students gave positive remarks on the teaching of English grammar through movie clips.
