The study aimed at examining the hypothesis that read: “flashcards do not improve grammar mastery.” This study used an experimental of post-test only design, implementing an experimental group that received flashcards for the treatments of learning grammar, and the controlled group that received textbooks for learning grammar. The hypothesis testing at p=0.05 and n = 48 indicated that Ho was rejected and the result was significant (t-value = 3.377 and t- table = 1.68). This means flashcards significantly improved grammar mastery. In other words, flashcards as media of teaching grammar is superior than using textbook.
