THE EFFECT OF USING ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES ON SECONDARY EFL LEARNERS' GRAMMAR ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract
Abstract - This study aimed at investigating the effect of using active learning strategies on Saudi1st secondary EFL learners' grammar achievement. The researcher adopted the quasi- experimental approach. The sample of the study consisted of (45) male learners of King Abdullah Secondary School, Najran, Saudi Arabia. The participants were distributed into two groups. One of the groups represented the control group of (22) students; and the other represented the experimental one of (23) students. The active learning strategies were used in teaching the experimental group, while the traditional grammar teaching method was used with the control one. A 20-item grammar test was designed to be used as a pre and post- test. The data analysis of the post-test grammar scores revealed that there were statistically significant differences between mean scores of the experimental and the control group favoring the experimental group; that is to say, the experimental group outperformed the control group. Thus, the implementation of the active learning strategies proved to have a positive effect on Saudi 1st secondary EFL learners' grammar achievement.
