Abstract

This study was aimed to see the Influence of EGRA technique on
students’ Grammar Mastery at the eighth grade students of MTs Istiqlal
Delitua. The objective of this study is to get the empirical data of the
differences between students` score grammar test that were taught by
using EGRA technique and the students were not. The population of
this study consists of 126 students. The sampling process of this
research is cluster random sampling technique. The researcher took two
classes, VIII D as experimental class consisted of 32 students and VIII
C as control class consisted of 31 students. The design of this study is a
quantitative method using quasi-experimental design (non-equivalent
control group) with two group classes, namely experimental class and
control class. The data was collected through pretest and posttest. It
aimed to know whether the EGRA technique in teaching grammar can
improve students` grammar mastery. The research findings demonstrate
that the t-test value is 10.83, which is significantly higher than the t
table value of 1.670 (3.925 > 1.670). This signifies that the use of the
EGRA technique is effective in enhancing students' grammar mastery
among the eighth-grade students of MTs Istiqlal Delitua. Consequently,
the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, while the null hypothesis
(H0) is rejected
