INTRODUCTION
In this research the researcher discusses five topics related with the
research. The topics include background of the study, statement of the study,
purpose of the study, significance of the study, and limitation or scope of the
study.
1.1
or any other countries that force the community themselves to learn English and
turn English become the second language, but in Indonesia, English becomes
complementary language only. The majority of Indonesia thinks that English is
language that is studied to pass the final test of study. Not only does they think
that English is not important but also English is very difficult to learn. It is caused
by their opinion that English is something difficult and not important to learn.
Because of those, Government tries to increase the system of English education
but it faces many trouble things. They come from the system that the students
happen and that have not realized about the importance of English language
because they think that English is language that is screaming and difficult.
English is one of the lessons that are avoided by many learners because
English can not be studied instantly. It needs high concentration to master English
education. The last exam of nationality uses English also and it emphasizes in
grammar, listening, reading, writing and speaking to get the standard of passing
the final test nationality. The learners think that Grammar is very elaborate that
others.
Grammar constitutes language element (language component) one that its
implementation shall integrated into 4 (four) skill gets language (Language skill)
which is Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing Skill. In brief learning can be
integrated on listening, speaking, reading or writing even. If it is looked on urgent,
therefore grammar needs to be taught by communicating to props skill to get
student language. Grammar learning makes an abode to have ices fringe:
Communicative approach, Students Centered Learning, and integrated minimal
Research Problem
Based on the background of the study, the problem of this study is
formulated as follows:
1. How is students Grammar Achievement before being taught by using
EGRA?
2. How is the students Grammar Achievement after being taught by using
EGRA?
3. Are there any significant different scores of the students grammar before
and after being taught by using EGRA?
1.3
1.4
The first is theoretical benefit and the second is practical benefit. The theoretical
benefit is the significant of study based on the reference or the source of the book.
The practical benefit is the significant of the study based on the real subject.
1.4.1
to the students and gives good effect to the students. The students are more
interested in teaching and learning English and they are closer to the teacher and it
is easier to them to get the science. Hugh c. Foot and Rosalyn H. Shute (1990,
107).
1.4.2
The researcher hopes that result of the study will give contribution to:
1.
more affective, interesting, and enjoyable for students. The researcher also hopes
that it can make them easy to understand and to master English and can lose the
scaring lesson in our mind. So, it can give new stimulus to love English and can
make them realize that English is not difficult but easy.
7
2.
The Teachers
The researcher hopes that the method of EGRA can give the additional
method and new method to increase the quality of education and the researcher
hopes that it can increase the quality of the teacher and can give mixed method
next time.
3. For the department
It can be the icon of method that can give special method to the students and it
can great the quality of the department or the teacher itself.
4. For the readers
The researcher hopes that it can give new information that the method of
studying or teaching English is not monotonous. We can use many kinds of
method to master in English.
5. For the society
The researcher hopes that it can increase the awareness of the society that
English is essential language that must be learned by all aspects of society to face
the globalization era.
6.
The Writer
The writer can enrich her method of teaching Grammar structure because it
will give some knowledge about EGRA as the affective method. Therefore, the
researcher knows the benefit of teaching Grammar by using EGRA optimally, the
researcher gets useful experiences in teaching English Grammar by using EGRA.
1.5
using EGRA in teaching Grammar. It is conducted only for the second grade
student at MTs Jamiyatul Ulum. Thus, the result of this study only generalized or
applied to the target population, especially to the second grade student at MTs
Jamiyatul Ulum.
The scope of the research was restricted by the discipline, content, and
activity.
a. By discipline, this research was bringing the students to use good grammar in
four English skills.
b. By content, this research used the variety of the text recount such as Toms
experience, an unlucky day and My football experience.
c. By activity, this research applied EGRA technique as a strategy to improve the
ability especially to write recount texts, its procedures were:
- Experience
Experience: The structure is presented to the students before they learn the
form of its rules. Example: the students read a dialogue a text that inside it,
there are some examples of its structure.
-
Generalization
Generalization: The students cooperate to find its rules or the usage of its
rule; teacher must help and guide them in this step. Example: the students
are asked to make generalization about the form of text or must fill the table
with the relevant structure or same.
-
Reinforcement phase
Application
Application: The students must use structure itself, at least or not is helped
by teacher. Example: write a story by having a conversation, giving a
demonstration on the map or describe a picture.
1.6
method to bring or make the better one. It can be a result of interactional between
individual ability and his environmental climate.
Grammar: grammar here means that we use to select and combine word
about the system and pattern. It is emphasized on simple sentence not in
compound, complex, or compound complex. The grammar that is used here about
tenses and only simple present, present progressive, simple past, past progressive,
simple future, and future progressive.
EGRA: is the ways of teaching grammar which it stands for E for
Experience, G for Generalization, R for Reinforcement, A for Application. We use
EGRA when we teach grammar.
1.7
Research Hypothesis
Hypothesis is a temporary answer on the research till it is proved by
collecting the data. There are two hypotheses in research study. The first is Null
hypothesis (HA) and the second is Alternative hypothesis (HO).
1.7.1. Null hypothesis
Null hypothesis or we can call statistic hypothesis is hypothesis that is
done by statistic. It means that it is calculated by statistic and according to its
10
name that Null hypothesis is hypothesis that has no different or the influence
between two variables.
If t-table was higher than t-test, null hypothesis was accepted and
alternative hypothesis was rejected. It means that there was no significant
difference between the students ability in writing recount text before and after the
use of EGRA technique.
1.7.2. Alternative hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis that is often called HA states that it has
relationship between variable X and variable Y or it has different thing between
variable X and variable Y.
If t-test was higher than t-table, null hypothesis was rejected and
alternative hypothesis was accepted. It means that there was significant difference
between the students ability in writing recount text before and after the use of
EGRA technique.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
There have been some researchers done related to this research some of them are
stated below:
1. Isna (2008) in her research on A Descriptive Study on the Method of
Teaching Writing and the Problem Faced by The Students at SMA
Muhammadiyah 2 Gemolong Surakarta she found that the teacher at SMA
Muhammadiyah 2 Gemolong Surakarta have used EGRA technique for teaching
and faced the problem their students.
2. Heri (2009) conducted a research on Teaching Recount Text to Improve
the Writing Ability of the Second Year Students of MTs Mahad Ponpes DDI
Pangkajene through EGRA Technique. The result of his research indicated that
12
the students writing for experimental group was higher than control group
because they wrote recount paragraph through EGRA technique.
3. Dedi (2011) conducted a research on The Effect of Using Egra Technique
in Learn Structure Towards Students Ability in Speaking English at The Second
Year Students of Ma Ummatan Wasathan Pesantren Teknologi Riau Siak Hulu
District Kampar Regency. It was concluded that the speaking ability of the
second year students of Ma Ummatan Wasathan Pesantren Teknologi Riau Siak
Hulu District Kampar Regency could be improved after they were taught by using
EGRA technique.
Based on the explanation above the researcher found that the previous
research and this research are about the same technique that is EGRA technique
and how to use the technique in teaching and learning English. The differences
between previous researches from this research are the focus, procedures or
process and the population of the research. Isna with her A Descriptive Study on
the Method of Teaching Writing and the Problem Faced by The Students at SMA
Muhammadiyah 2 Gemolong Surakarta she found that the second year students
of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Gemolong Surakarta have a better ability in English
using EGRA technique. Heri used EGRA as technique to improve the students
ability in writing recount text and also used experimental; Dedi used EGRA
technique to improve speaking ability of the second year students of Ma Ummatan
Wasathan Pesantren Teknologi Riau Siak Hulu District Kampar Regency.
Based on the findings above, the writer concluded that the students need
many exercises to improve their English grammar. In this case the teachers are
13
expected to give some tasks about grammar lesson. Indeed, there are some
manners to develop that English grammar. Concerning with that, this research
tried out the use EGRA technique to teach English grammar. In this research, the
researcher only used one class: experimental class.
2.2
might not be so important since the learners can get exposure to the language
somewhere outside the classroom. They might listen, read, speak and write to
communicate with them in English anywhere.
It is very important for the teacher of English as a foreign language to
provide classroom activities so that the students get enough input of the language
and enough practice to develop their language skills. None of the four language
skills should be neglected and also, if any of the four skills should get more
emphasis, it is the writing skill especially giving the tutorial method to the
students, as it is the most difficult or that makes the heaviest processing demands
for the foreign language learners because they must store information in short
term memory at the same time as they are working to understand the information
(Rubin, 1995) as stated in a book Learners Strategies.
Rivers and Temperly (1978:63) in A Practical Guide to the Teaching of
English as A Second or Foreign Language state that teaching is giving the
information to others or transform to others.
14
From the texts explained above, the researcher concludes that Language
is toll of communication and it gives stimulus and respects one another.
H. Douglas Brown (1980, 239) states that language teaching has as its
foundation certain theoretical underpinning. And these foundations almost always
combine more than one discipline. Language teaching is not just linguistics or just
psychology, but involves both, along with pedagogical, sociological, and other
interdisciplinary considerations.
Helen de Silva Joyce and Anne Burns (1999:102) states that in language
teaching, especially in teaching spoken, language teaching is important to
consider how we can systematically make students aware of the different element
16
2.4 Grammar
Helen de Silva Joyce and Anne Burns (1999:03) states that grammar can
be taken from two definitions. The first definition is from the Macquarie
dictionary. It is focused on grammar as a system, while the second definition that
is from Longman definition. It is focused on the idea of grammar as a rule. He
only states that grammar is essentially about the systems and patterns we use to
select and combine words. In order to communicate we must share a common
system, which is why people who speak different languages cannot understand
one another they are using different system, grammar is one of the essential
system, so it means that people must know about grammar in order to use the
language appropriately in social context.
David Nunan (1999:96) states that there are three kinds of definition of
the grammar. The first is an analysis of the structure of a language, either as
encountered in a corpus of speech or writing (a performance grammar) or a
predictive of a speakers knowledge (a competence grammar). A contrast is often
drawn between a descriptive grammar, which provides a precise account of actual
17
usage, and a prescriptive grammar, which tries to establish rules for the correct
use of language in society. The second is an analysis of the structural properties
which define human language (a universal grammar). The third is a level of
structural organization which can be studied independently of phonology and
semantic.
David Nunan (1999:96) also takes the definition that is used by Richards,
Platt and weber (1985). It is said that grammar is a description of the structure of a
language and the way in which linguistic units such as words and phrases are
combined to produce sentences in the language.
Dan Isaac Slobin (1939) states that grammar is the rule of how educated
people, that is also called prescriptive grammar. It is also described that grammar
attempts to describe the knowledge people must have in order to speak and
understand language.
According to J. A. Bright and G. P. McGregor (1970: 08) nobody
disputes that the foreign student must learn the grammar of English in the sense
that the sentences he produces must conform to English patterns in the accepted
model. We cannot be content with communication, however clear the pain sense,
if it carries also such depressing messages to the reader about the writers level of
literacy. The learner has got to master the conventional use of the grammatical
signals of the language.
Grammar is sometime defined as the words are put together to make a
correct sentences Penny Ur (1996:75). However, we can apply the term
18
Internal achievement
a. Willingness
It comes from the bottom of the students heart. The students
will lose their achievement if the do not have any willingness to get the
knowledge. The students should know that their achievement is in their
hold, not from others. The students also should know that their
achievement in knowledge is same with other, but sometime they do not
know and care.
b. Intelligence
Commonly students who have good intelligence have high
performance and who have less performance have low performance.
19
The students who have good performance, they have good confidence.
Because of that, they have better achievement than students who has no
intelligence.
2.5.2
External achievement
a. Motivation
It can be started from the family that always supports the
learners to get good achievement. Commonly, students that have good
achievement always get the motivation not only form their family and
their friend, but also they can motivate themselves. Because, when they
students get so many motivations from their family and friends, they
can motivate themselves.
b. School
School is one of factor that can increase the achievement of the
students. It can be the infrastructure that is in that school. Infrastructure
here means that the school has complete infrastructure to support the
students to get the knowledge. Infrastructure is not always expensive,
can be our environment and make by themselves.
c.
Teacher
Teacher is one of element that can increase the students
achievement. Commonly the students will easy to get the knowledge if
the students themselves love the teacher first. If the students do not like
the teacher first, they will difficult to get the lesson so that the
achievement of the students will be down.
20
d. Method
The students will have good achievement if the teacher that
teaches them has different method and creative method. The method
that the teacher uses will influence the students achievement.
Method is the level at which the theory is put into practice and at
with choices are made about the particular skill to be taught, the content
to be taught the order in which the content will be presented. Another
word, method is a generalized set of classroom specification for
accomplishing linguistic objectives. Methods tend to be concerned
primarily with teacher and student roles and behavior and secondarily
with such features as linguistics and subject matter objectives,
sequencing and materials.
2.6 Definition of EGRA
In oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary of current English states that
technique is method of doing something expertly. Richards (1968:15) states that
technique is implementation that which actually take place in a classroom. It is a
particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplishing an immediate
objective. Further, Brown (1994:51) says that technique is any of a wide variety of
exercises, activities, or devices used in the language classroom for realizing lesson
objectives. According to Anthonys model (1998:15), technique refers to the level
at which classroom procedures are described (implementation). By this technique,
classroom can run well because the teacher teaches according to the procedures.
21
22
b. Generalization
In this stage the students are led through tasks to discover form,
meaning and function of a structure they have been exposed to. The rational for
the generalization is the learner better remember conclusion about the form and
function(s) they make for themselves. Harmer (1991:113) says that the best way
to ensure learning was for the students to work out the rule himself.
Ramirez (1995:22) says that this stage focus on grammatical items
themselves. The objective here is to move away from the context and concentrates
on the rules govern the various aspects of the structure.
The teacher will not tell the students about the form, meaning, and
function of the sentence but let them find out by themselves. Krashen (1987:62)
states that learning is facilitated if the learners discovers or creates rather than
remember and repeats what is to be learned.
The generalization is the central of EGRA technique where students are
expected to make a discovery of language structure. Rivers (1968:77) says that
generalization become more comprehensive as the students advanced in
knowledge of language and is able to recognize characteristics feature of the
language structure.
In this step the teacher will guide through leading questions to find out
the generic structure of the text, for example, the form, meaning, and function of
the sentence. Learning experience, which the students have gained, will facilitate
23
them in the discovery process, which becomes the main purpose of the
generalization.
c. Reinforcement
Reinforcement is a learning stage where students are provided with
correct and conscious knowledge of the form, and functions of the structure item
that they have been exposed to. The objective of this stage is to help learners to
check or revise their generalization that students should have corrected and
consciousness of the form and function of a certain structure item.
In this step, the teacher explains again what the students have
discovered so that they get reinforcement. Alexander (1980: XXI) says that the
aim behind all explanation should be to reinforce theoretically what the students
has already practiced.
After the students have got self confidence through teachers
reinforcement or explanation, they will do task again. Thomas (1984:81) says that
reinforcement practices also tend to help individual focus on special activities. In
other words, reinforcement sharpens the individuals attention or concentration for
the second task.
Giving full attention to the classroom situation is also very important
for the teacher in order to get effectiveness of using reinforcement in learning and
teaching process (Grasha 1978:82). Furthermore Kenneth (1976:82) says that
reinforcement occupies a central and crucial role in the behaviorist learning
strategy.
24
25
and Application will lead the students to be better at teaching grammar and
interested in English.
2.8
a test that discusses about understanding, using, and forming of the word, phrase,
and sentence. Testing grammar structure can be essay, multiple choices,
completing test, short question test, and others.
Hughes Arthur (1990;141) states whether or not grammar has an
important place in institutions teaching, it has to be accepted that grammar ability
or rather the lack of it, sets limits to what can be achieved in the way of the skills
performance. Many, if not most, language testing handbooks encourage the testing
of grammar by means of multiple choice items, often to the exclusion of just
about any other method. Here the types of grammatical test:
2.6.1 Test forming word
a. Shows the root of the word
The students remain the root word of the word :
e.g. Dangerous . (From Danger)
Heroes ..( From ...)
Horses..( From )
b. Give the bound morpheme
The students give the bound morpheme in each root word:
e.g. King ..( become Kingdom)
Write .( become )
Child.( become .)
c. Make the appropriate word
The students determine the appropriate word in the sentence:
e.g. The sun (to rise) in the east. (become rises)
You have to finish your work (quick). (become ..)
He said he wanted (to talk) to the teacher. (become .)
2.6.2 Test forming phrase
a. Arrange the word
The students arrange the word become the right pharse:
e.g. book, read ..(Become reading book)
Water, fresh (Become )
Difficult, homework ..(Become)
b. Completing word

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter presents the research method. It focuses the method used in
conducting this study. The decision covers research design, population, sampling
and sample, variable data, data source, data collecting method and instruments
and technique of data analysis.
3.1
Research Design
This study is conducted in an experimental design using quantitative
In this research, the researcher uses pre experimental design. Preexperimental design is so named because they follow basic experimental steps but
fail to include a control group. In other words, a single group is often studied but
no comparison between equivalent non-treatment groups is made. The method
used in this research was pre experimental method with one group pre-test and
post-test design. one group pre-test and post-test design is A single case is
observed at two time points, one before the treatment and one after the treatment.
Changes in the outcome of interest are presumed to be the result of the
intervention or treatment. No control or comparison group is employed.

researcher researches. Population here means that the researcher collect the data
from the population to count the data that is made as basic sampling then and
sample here means that data that we use here takes one of method to get or
sampling to collect the data.
Population is the group to which the researcher would like the results of a
study to be generalizable; it includes all individuals with certain specified
characteristics stated by (R. Fraenkel 1996:587). The population of the research
30
was the second year students of MTs Jamiyatul Ulum Demangan Kras in
academic year 2011/2012, which has one class only. The number of population
this class was 26 students.
After defining the population here, the researcher selected the sample
from the population. A good sample must be as nearly as representative of the
entire population, so that the generalization that is true of the sample will be true
of the population. Sample is a subset of individuals or cases from within a
population (Nunan, 1989: 232).
Sample is a technique to taking the sample according to Sugiyono (2007).
Sample is also as a way the researcher select number of individuals as a sample
which represents the population. In this study, the researcher used purposive
sampling technique. Because the population only consist of one class, the
researcher took the class one as the sample, thus, it used total sampling technique.
3.3
Variable
A variable is a concept- a noun that stands for variation within a class of
objects. Variables can be classified in into two classifications. The most important
classification is on the bass of their use within the research under consideration,
when they are classified as independent variables or dependent variables (Ary,
1985:30).
3.3.1
31
3.4
that the primary data is data which are collected directly from the sample.
Primary data source of this study is students VIII class of MTs Jamiyatul Ulum.
3.5
The technique used in this study was administering a test. Test here means as test
to know the ability of the students. Test that is used in this research is pre-test and
post-test. Pre-test is used to take the first ability in grammar and post-test is used
to take the ability after getting EGRA method.
Arikunto (1992; 29) describes that Test is a set of the question or exercise or
other instrument used to measure skill, knowledge, intelligence and talent of an
individual or group.
32
3.5
Research Instrument
This study uses test as instrument for getting the data. It is supplying the
correct form test which asks the students to supply the correct form or words in
the bracket. The main point of this test is that the students can use the correct form
the complete sentence. The test consist of two, they are pre-test and post-test. Pretest is used to measure the students grammar ability before having treatment.
Post-test is used to measure the students grammar ability after receiving the
treatment. The result of those tests will be the data of this study.
Students in the control and experimental are provided with the same form of
form of test containing 25 items for pre-test, the total score is 100 points. It means
score in every item is 4 points. It is administered with a time limitation, forty five
minutes for the students to finish the test. The source of pre-test is taken from
Betty Schrampfer Azar (1999). Understanding and using English Grammar and
A.J. Thompson Martinet (1989), A practical English Grammar Exercise 2.
Then for the post-test, it contains 25 items also with 100 total score. It
means that in every item has 4 points. It is administered with a time limitation,
thirty minutes for the students to finish the test. The post-test that is used is the
same as pre-test and it is taken from the same source but it has different test.

The table of post- test depicts that after giving the treatment, none of the students
was best and good, 9 (34.6%) students out of 26 students was classified as fair
classification, 13 (50%) classified as less classification, and 4 (15.4%) classified
as poor classification. The data indicate that the students grammar test especially
simple present tense, simple past and future tense were getting better.

To know the degree of freedom (df) or (db), we can find the result from the
formula bellow:

Hypothesis Testing
The table above point out us that the result of t-test (6.667) is greater
than t-table value (2.064) with n = 26, degree of freedom (df) n-1 = 26-1 = 25 in
the level of significance 0.05.
It is proved that teaching tenses (simple present, simple past and simple
future) to improve the grammar ability of the second year students of MTs
Jamiyatul Ulum Demangan Kras through EGRA technique has a significant
influence in increasing the students ability to understand the tenses has influenced

Discussion
Before giving treatment, most of students achievement at grammar was
categorized poor and less. It was proven by the percentage of the total score of
pre-test. The mean score from the pre-test obtained by the students was lower than
the criterion. In the other words, the class that the researcher observed previously
had very poor ability at grammar specially composing tenses.
Based on the research method in chapter III in this study, teaching and
learning process was divided into three steps. First step is preliminary' study
where the researcher conducted a preliminary study to know the students'
grammar ability by using administering pre-test by teaching without using EGRA.
The second step was given treatment to the students. The treatment here
was teaching grammar by using EGRA technique. The students were given
material about tenses (simple present tenses, simple past and future tense). At the
43
first treatment, the researcher gave key word. The researcher decide student into
four groups. Each group there was six students. Then the researcher asked the
students to identify some sentences about simple present tenses, simple past and
future tense by using EGRA. After got the treatment, the students are more active,
effective and enthusiasm to study grammar because they enjoyed in teaching
learning grammar.
The score of grammar before taught by using EGRA is categorized less
and poor because the mean of the total score of 26 students was only (40.15). After
got treatment the mean score of grammar was (49.84). It was improved, with the ttest analysis that used by researcher, the result of t count was (6.667).
Then, the researcher gave interpretation to First, she considered the db = N
- 1 with the db is (25). She consulted to the score table t, at the significance
level of 0.05. In fact, with the db is (25), she can get the critic value or table at 0.05
significance t, is (2.064)
By comparing the t that she has got in calculation t = (6.667) and the
value of t on the t score table = (2.064 ). It is known that t0 is bigger than t1 =
2.064<6.667.
After giving treatment for four times, the students grammar achievement
showed a significant improvement. It is showed t-count was bigger than t-table
the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected, it
means that there is different grammar score of the second grade students at MTs
Jamiyatul Ulum Demangan Kras between before using EGRA and after taught by
using EGRA. The different is significant. It was indicated by the higher mean
44
score from the post-test obtained by the students. It was greater than their mean
score before getting special treatment. This figures out that students had better
ability at grammar (tenses) after being taught through EGRA technique.
Moreover, the achievement of the students after they were directed through EGRA
technique had a significant difference from their achievement before the
application of EGRA technique.
Based on the research finding, EGRA was the real effectiveness to
improve grammar ability. It was because EGRA can encourage the young learners
to study grammar more active, effective and enthusiastically. EGRA technique can
be one way that English teachers apply. They can make their students have better
ability through such a way that unconsciously involves more exercises.
EGRA technique is the way to teach which gives opportunity to the
students to explore their knowledge. The students can study by themselves and
easy to memorize the lesson because they study by themselves. In here, teacher is
tutor, giving motivation so the students can study enjoy and easier.

B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion presented in the previous sub-chapter, the researcher
tried to give some suggestions for the future research about the English teaching
method as follows:
1. For the Students: Grammar is one of the most important parts that we need to
master when studying English. Grammar is essentially about the systems and
patterns we use to select and combine words. In order to communicate we must
share a common system, which is why people who speak different languages
cannot understand one another-they are using different systems.
47
2. For the Teacher: The result of this research can contribute the information and
idea to the English teachers. The researcher suggests using EGRA technique to
teach English especially teaching grammar. From the data analysis we can find
that EGRA technique is effective to master English grammar. The teacher
should create the comfortable atmosphere in order that the students can enjoy
writing activity in learning process. The teacher of English should give the
students motivation, homework and review their lesson more frequently.This
researcher shows that the students achievement is reflected in their score. The
score becomes indicators of the students to succeed in teaching and learning
English grammar especially at MTs Jamiyatul Ulum Demangan Kras.
3. For the Readers: In order that the students can master grammar well, the
researcher can find the way in teaching and learning English grammar by
using EGRA technique. The researcher finds that the students who have been
taught grammar by using EGRA technique have better result; moreover, it
does not only give knowledge but also give an advantage for the readers that
use tutorial method. It can help the students in teaching and learning English
grammar.
