Abstract

Mastering advanced English grammar can be particularly challenging for young learners, especially when it comes to complex tenses. These difficulties often lead to low engagement and limited retention when taught using traditional methods. This study aims to improve the understanding of the Future Perfect Tense and Future Perfect Continuous Tense among elementary school students through the use of an educational game titled “Future Time Travelers.” The research was conducted at SD Negeri 064037, Medan Tembung. Given the abstract and complex nature of these grammatical structures, young learners often struggle to grasp them through conventional teaching methods. Therefore, this study introduced an interactive, game-based learning approach that integrates storytelling, time-travel missions, and visual aids to contextualize the use of these tenses in a fun and engaging way. Using a classroom action research method, data were gathered through pretests, posttests, teacher observations, and student reflections. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ comprehension and ability to apply both tenses correctly in sentence construction. The educational game not only enhanced their grammatical skills but also increased their motivation and participation during English lessons. This research highlights the effectiveness of game-based learning in making advanced grammar more accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the various challenges experienced by students in understanding two important aspects of English grammar, namely comparative adjectives and prepositions. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it was found that the main obstacle for students lies in the lack of conceptual understanding due to teaching methods that are too theoretical and the minimal use of supporting visual media. In addition, the differences in language structure between Indonesian and English also become obstacles in the learning process. To answer these problems, this study developed and implemented a contextual learning strategy that combines role play and visual storytelling approaches to create an interactive, communicative, and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Through this approach, students not only find it easier to understand the function and use of comparative adjectives and prepositions, but also show significant improvements in active participation, confident when speaking in English, and overall grammar understanding. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and documentation, thus providing a complete picture of the effectiveness of this innovative learning strategy in the context of elementary schools.
