Enhancing English Grammar Skills of Grade 9 Students Through the Use of an English Grammar Application

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance the English grammar skills of Grade 9 students at Presbitero National High School, Pigcawayan, Cotabato, Philippines through the use of the LearnEnglish Grammar application. A quantitative pre-experimental research design was employed, involving 20 students who exhibited difficulties in English grammar. Over a two-week intervention period, students used the application to improve their skills. The results revealed a significant improvement in students' grammar, as evidenced by the difference between their pre-test and post-test scores. The most common grammatical challenges involved constructing basic sentences, using verbs, and identifying modals. Overall, the study highlights the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in improving English grammar skills among secondary school students. Future research could benefit from a more detailed examination of the application's features, the implementation process, and a discussion of potential limitations and broader implications.
