Subject-Verb agreement (SVA) Hop to improve writing skills among Year 4 learners
description <p>This study aimed to develop and determine the effect of Subject-Verb Agreement</p><p>(SVA) Hop on Year 4 learners writing skills. This study employed mixed qualitative</p><p>and quantitative approach. A stratified sampling of 30 Year 4 lower intermediate</p><p>learners was assigned. The treatment was conducted by using SVA Hop for four-week</p><p>periods. The instrument chosen in this study were a set of pre and post-tests, three sets</p><p>of worksheets, observation checklists and a semi-structured interview session. Data</p><p>were analysed by using descriptive and thematic analysis. Descriptive analysis</p><p>involves SPSS Statistics analysis of mean scores of pre and post-tests and three sets of</p><p>worksheets while thematic analysis through Nvivo software describes interest in</p><p>constructing simple sentences among Year 4 learners. The findings showed that there</p><p>was a significantly difference between pre and post-tests and three sets of worksheets.</p><p>The participants showed an improvement in constructing simple sentences from given</p><p>verbs. It was observed that research participants enjoyed SVA Hop and were able to</p><p>construct at least four sentences correctly based on the pictures given verbally and in</p><p>written form. Besides, data from semi-structured interview showed that learners were</p><p>interested in constructing simple sentences after intervention of SVA Hop. The</p><p>implication of the study indicated that SVA Hop has improved Year 4 learners basic</p><p>writing skills in constructing simple sentences by using correct subject-verb</p><p>agreement. It helps learners in completing their homework, answering quiz and</p><p>constructing simple sentences in essay writing. In addition, it aids the ESL teachers to</p><p>conduct grammar lesson in a fun and engaging way. This study reflects that social and</p><p>conducive environment factors play a large role in empowering the community</p><p>through social interaction. Overall, the study shows SVA Hop could enhance basic</p><p>writing skills among ESL learners in an ESL classroom. It helps learners to pick up</p><p>grammar rules in a conducive environment.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Key words: Subject-verb agreement, SVA Hop, SPSS Statistics, Nvivo Software,</p><p>sentence writing, grammar rules</p>
