                       (An Action Research Report)

 

1.Background of  the study

Teaching grammar is one of the most important teaching   items of a language teaching process .The language based upon the grammar. But sometimes language is applied .So linguistically using language is more important than the grammar. Therefore, what the speaker speaks is more important in language. If he/she doesn't know the correct pattern of speaking his /her speaking will be applied.  

 

      I've been teaching in grade 8 since two years in my school as an English   teacher.  During this period, I've assessed and observed my students. I found they are very weak at writing negative sentences .I made them practice sometimes but the result was not satisfactory. Then, I thought of an idea and used it in that class to solve the problem. It was the practice of changing negative from affirmative and affirmative to negative which are related to the Subject , auxiliary /helping verbs and sometimes other words or the sentences like Let's go and Let us go change  into negative .The action research has been presented here.

 

2.Significance of the study

 

Action research is very important because it helps not only the current problem but also to generate so many innovative ideas and implement items in the teaching and learning process.

 

3.Objectives The objectives of the action research were as follows:                                       

• To make the students able to change simple sentences affirmative to negative and negative to affirmative.
•                             
• To make the students able to change complex sentences which don't have helping /auxiliary verbs. (i.e.; Let's go and Let us go)

 

4.Identification of problem                                                                              

In my school, most of the students of grade 8 were very weak in different types of grammatical items. Among them changing sentences into negative by using 'not' is also difficult for them .If there is any auxiliary verb or without   it.

4.1   Evidence of the problem

a . Regular class-work judgment

 

b.Before action research was carried out, I constructed a class test on writing simple sentences which have auxiliary /helping verbs into negative by adding 'not'.

 

c.Most of the errors are found in complex sentences for them which do not have auxiliary/helping verbs.

                                                                                                           

4.2. Possible causes of the problem

a.Lack of sufficient uses of those types of sentences at this level.

 

b.Inappropriate teaching methods and techniques.

 

c.Lack of pre-knowledge about this grammatical item

 

 

 

4.3 The intervening cause:                

            The inappropriate teaching teacher has been selected as the cause of the problems. It is the main cause of fact that teaching techniques is the main cause of success in teaching and learning well and makes the learner's more careful in those types of sentences.

 

4.4 Possible solution   to the problem

 Many inductive teaching techniques can be used solve the given problem .Like;

a.Repetition drills (drill practice)

b.Sentence formation contest

c.word game

 

4.5 The intervening solution

   The firstly mentioned solution i.e.; drills practice as repetition drill has been selected and implemented to solve the given problem. The students can learn easily and I can manage the class easily when I divide the class into different groups.

5.The implemented actions and date were presented as following:

Table 1-The Implemented date and actions

s.n.	Action	Date
1	Regular observation of the students writing skill with the help of class work.	2073 Magh 12 to 18
2	A class test of sentences changing negative to affirmative and affirmative to negative.	2073 Magh 20
3	Result of class work	2073 Magh 22
4	Implementation of drill practice in the class for this purpose. I divided the class with 40 students into 8 groups. I prepared different sentences and asked them to read and write in every group. They do in conversation drill and repetition drill as fun	2073 Magh 23 to 28
5	A class test in changing sentences negative to affirmative and affirmative to negative with correctly	2073 Falgun 1
6	Result of the class test	2073  Falgun 6

 

6 .Result of the study

The result of action research is presented as following:

 

Table-2:- Result of the Action Research

Before the action research carried out (average marks)	After the action research carried out (average marks)	Expectation	Difference between before and after the research	Indicator
2.0 out of 40	20 out of 40	15 out of 40	18	class test

7. Reflections

The implemented teaching technique i.e.; repetition drills seemed to be fruitful to involve the students in practice and they improved their sentences. I knew that the students enjoyed it while they were learning those types of sentences as a conversation game. The result of the action research showed that the expectation crossed in average.

 

8.Conclusion

More inductive and creative drill techniques should be constructed and implemented by the teacher while there will be problems in sentence formation (negative to affirmative and affirmative to negative) which doesn't have helping/auxiliary verbs. This also encourages the students from the exposure. Then I shared the idea to all the English teachers in my school .They were convinced to apply those techniques and they also inspire me to do such innovative works in the coming days.
