ONLINE-BASED GRAMMAR INSTRUCTION via MICROSOFT TEAMS: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the effects of online grammar teaching on the grammar achievement levels of EFL students. It was also aimed to reveal the perceptions of EFL students towards the use of online grammar teaching to improve their grammar knowledge. It is a quantitative study that includes 43 EFL students who were chosen via the convenience sampling strategy. The data of the study were collected through pre-and post-achievement tests and a questionnaire. The data acquired via the data collection tools were analyzed by using SPSS 25 Statistical Package. The results of the study demonstrated that providing online grammar teaching improves students’ grammar proficiency. It was also revealed that students were able to learn various grammar topics effectively during the online education process and contented with the effort provided by the instructor to improve their grammar knowledge. Another finding of the study is that despite the advantages of online grammar teaching, the participants still insisted on receiving face-to-face grammar education.
