EFFECTIVENESS OF RHYMES IN LEARNING GRAMMAR AT MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using rhymes as a pedagogical tool for teaching English grammar (parts of speech) among middle school students. Experimental method was used for the study. The study employed the non-equivalent pre-test post-test design. The total sample consisted of eighty-one students from class six. For Experimental group, Rhymes based package was used to teach parts of speech and for the control group traditional method was used. Achievement test in parts of speech was given to both the groups as pretest. Post test was given after the experimentation. Results indicated that the students in experimental group exhibited higher achievement than the control group. It was found that rhymes-based package enhances the students learning in grammar.
