ABSTRACT
Technology has seen a recent widespread integration into daily life, where
access to vast amounts of information is now available with ease. Today’s generation of
students has grown up with technology all around them in an ever-increasing manner.
To create an effective 21st century classroom that meets the needs of the students, a
modern teacher must factor a student’s motivation to learn and the effects technology
the performance of the learners. This was proven when the researcher used the
technology integrated intervention among her grade five pupils with performance in
The results showed that students feel motivated through the specific use of
technology in the classroom as intervention. Further study can aid in updating teaching
motivation.

Title: Technology Integrated Intervention for Improving Language Performance of

I. CONTEXT AND RATIONALE
grade five pupils with difficulty in understanding English subject specifically subject-verb
agreement. These students were selected because they are classified as learners with
poor understanding of the said concepts based on the result of the index of mastery. It
is through this reason that the researcher intended to improve the learners’ performance
materials are presented using computer technology about subject-verb agreement. The
students themselves learned the concepts through watching videos and answering
exercises on their own. Pre assessment data were collected using the result of the
index of mastery in the evaluation of the learning topic. The target pupils for the
minutes within lunch break every day for 5 days. After the completion of the intervention
period, the students again took the same evaluation of the topic given as post-test to

determine if their performance improved. The results from the post-test indicated that
the group improved their performance based on the increased mean scores.
Introduction
The ability to understand and use language correctly plays a vital role in pupils’
learning both in and outside the school. In almost all schools, English specifically
subject-verb agreement is one of the major topics that gives students difficulty when it
comes to learning. In the researchers’ school, English is one of the subjects where
pupils got low grades which means poor performance. The reality about classroom set-
up is there are students who can grasp concepts easily and there are also students that
are having hard time to fully understand correct relationship between subject and the
correct verb to use and thus categorize as poor learners. Understanding correct use of
language allows students to fully execute effective communication process. When they
don’t understand what has been taught, they can’t effectively use the learning. Learners’
feel helpless, become discouraged and frustrated leading to absences in school, poor
performance during tests, and worst possible scenario might result in drop out and other
negative reactions, all of which can have major and long lasting consequences for the
school and mostly for the pupils. A pupil with learning difficulty developed low self-
esteem and feel neglected. Without proper motivation and assistance the pupil might
end up losing interest in learning. Through the researchers keen monitoring and
performance in English.

Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching
basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Effective
tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows

Wang and Woo (2007, p.149) state that “integration of ICT in education is
basically a tool”. In the educational context they claim that it mainly refers to various
computer-based resources and tools (software). Other researchers view the integration
of useful tools that facilitate the link to various learning communities together in new and
different ways (Taylor, 2000). The integration of ICT in teaching and learning is a

Hooper and Rieber (1995) suggest that using educational technology means
applying ideas from various sources to create the best possible learning environments
for students. They note that educational technologists ask questions such as how a
classroom might change or adapt when computer-based learning is integrated into the
curriculum. They propose a simple model as a tool to help explain the patterns of
adoption by teachers after they are first introduced to educational technology. The
model describes five hierarchical stages for technology integration, through which all
teachers must progress in order to integrate the technology effectively, those are:

The use of computers can be integrated into subject learning in various ways,
depending on what learners actually do with recourses (Bialobrzeska & Cohen, 2005).
This integration operates on three levels: functional practice, integrative level, and

An important issue was discussed by Lim and Ping (2007) regarding the
integration of ICT in education. Their article examines and analyses where and how

observations, focus group discussions with students, and face-to- face interviews with
teachers, ICT-coordinators and principals, to know how the activity systems within and
between classrooms, and schools are generated. The study discussed essential issues
regarding the learning environment; for example, classroom management and orienting

0.Two learners got a score of 1.Five learners got a score of 2 and only one learner got
the highest score of 3. The mean score before the intervention was 1.7.
After the technology integrated intervention was used, the learner’s performance
increased. Four learners got a score of 7. Three students got a score of 8. Two students
got as core of 9 and one of the learners got the perfect score of 10. The mean score

The computed T-value is -9.82 and the corresponding p-value is < .00001 which is less
than .05 level of significance. Since the p-value is less than .05 level of significance, we
reject the null hypothesis. We can say that there are significant differences on the
performance of grade five learners before and after technology integrated instruction
The mean of the scores for the group who used the intervention increased from
1.3 to 8.0. As indicated also in chapter two, evidently it proves that Hooper and Rieber
