Abstract

Despite its significance particularly when it comes to writing competence, numerous studies have revealed that grammar is still considered complicated to grasp and used by students. The purpose of this study was to determine how video-based instruction affects students' understanding of grammar in writing assignments. This sequential explanatory mixed-method study aimed to investigate how students' grammatical skills especially in degree of comparison might be improved. Quantitative evaluations such as creating written test materials for the students and qualitative interviews with both teachers and students were employed. The findings showed that students' comprehension of grammatical rules for statistical tests had improved. Descriptive data evidenced that the students were clearly excited, enthralled, and actively involved with the tactics; served as a scaffold to lower obstacles; enhanced language learners' understanding; and increased students' vocabulary. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches evidenced the significance of implementing English videos to promote students’ grammatical competence in writing skills. The study's implications and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

Numerous of recent studies indicate strong improvement of the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka (The independent curriculum), primarily by showing numerical data and claiming that it was relevant to the globalized world, and it has improved. However, few researchers potraying the different results to different areas to English Language Teaching (ELT). This study is meant to fill this gap and address the representation of English outcomes through documentation as well as to figure out the process of its implementation. It focuses on theories, curriculum, implementations, and results in ELT. This research is literature study research. The analysis results are then used to know (1) representation of different results in the English language (2) Knowing the implementation process of the independent curriculum in ELT. The results showed that numerous distinct outcomes of the independent curriculum mostly happen in less representative area either in western or eastern Indonesia. Further, the implementations of the independent curriculum indicate strong revitalization need to the student and schools. As the conclusion, the implementations of the independent curriculum sparked the teachers’ readiness as well as revitalization based on students’ need before implementing the independent curriculum.
