Sentence Auction: An Interactive Game to Increase Language Learners’ Grammar Skills

This study sought to determine the interaction between sentence auction methodology employed in English grammar classes and its influence on language learners’ performance in a grammar test. The participant pool comprised 40 language learners, with a gender distribution of 16 males and 24 females. Utilizing an interactive game-based approach, the study evaluated students’ learning through Pretest and Posttest results. Statistical analysis, employing T-Test, revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with a P-value below 0.05. This suggests that the incorporation of sentence auction in grammar instruction significantly impacts language learners’ outcomes. The descriptive results underscored the positive reception of the activity, emphasizing that students found it enjoyable, fostering increased participation in grammar classes. Additionally, qualitative data indicated that learners recognized the critical analysis, measurement, and learning strategy promotion facilitated by the intervention. The pedagogical implication of integrating game-based strategies in teaching grammar is evident, as it not only enhances academic performance but also cultivates a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Overall, this study sheds light on the efficacy of sentence auction as a pedagogical tool in English grammar instruction, contributing valuable insights to the field of language education.
