Abstract

The purpose of this research was to improve Grade 7 students’ grammatical use of Preposition. The series of interactive game-based activities were implemented to help students master the types and functions of Preposition. To achieve the research objectives, the study used an experimental design since its main aim is to determine the effectiveness of interactive game-based activities in the learning progress of the Grade 7 students in terms of using Preposition. There were 2 groups of participants in the study with a count of 32 students per group. One group served as the Control group and the other one was the Experimental group. Both groups were taught with the same lesson in a week which was the Type and Functions of Preposition. A pretest was conducted to check the mastery in preposition of the two groups. Then, the Control group was taught using a traditional approach while the Experimental group was taught using the interactive game-based activities. After that, post-test was conducted to determine if there is a significant difference between pretest and post-test scores. The result showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores of the Grade 7 students. The Experimental group greatly increased with a mean difference of 5.87 compared to the control group with mean difference of 2.09 between pretest and post-test result. This showed that utilizing interactive game-based activities had influenced the improvement of learner’s grammatical use of Prepositions.
