Abstract

English as a foreign language is considered to be the most important language that the students need to learn because it is an international language which is used in many areas such as in trade, engineering, politics, and many others. In welcoming the globalization era, the need in mastering the English language as a means for communication with other nations has become so intense. Therefore, the government has put English as a subject included in the curriculum of the elementary school, to have the students learn the language in the early age. In studying English, one of the most important things to be mastered by the beginners is grammar. It is the foundation in learning the other skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening. However, learning grammar, is a tiresome task for most students, especially for elementary school students. As children, it is difficult for them to see the importance of mastering the grammar. Many students lose their interest in learning the grammar because it is hard for them to understand many complicated rules; moreover, many English teachers still use monotonous ways in teaching the language. Therefore to arouse the students' interest and motivation in learning the grammar, English teachers, especially teachers who teach young learners should vary their techniques of teaching by using various teaching aids. So far, most of language teachers use drills to reinforce the students in learning the grammar. However, many experts of language teaching proposed grammar games as a means to arouse the students' interest in learning the grammar, which will increase the students' ability in mastering the grammar. In this study, the writer tried to find out whether grammar games could really increase the students' ability in mastering the grammar. The writer used grammar games and drills as a means of reinforcement in teaching Present Continuous Tense. This study was a quasi-experimental study employing two groups only post-test design.
