Using new pedagogical technologies in teaxhing grammar

Here’s how it works:
1. Roll the die. Match the number rolled with the corresponding row on the Roll and Write chart.
2. Write a simple sentence about the topic you land on.
3. Continue the process by rolling the die, then writing the correct type of sentence for each roll about the topics you land on.
4. Read the six sentences as a completed, crazy paragraph!
CONCLUSION
Based on the findings and discussion presented in the previous explanation, it can be concluded that teaching grammar-in-context is effective in minimizing grammatical errors in students' writing. It is proved by the significant improvement of the experimental group'smean score. Additionally, the F-ratio obtained from the analysis exceeded the critical value. Clearly, since there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and accept the working hypothesis, it could be concluded that teaching grammar in context can reduce more grammatical errors in students'

writing. Based on the findings, some suggestions are recommended for
English teacher, for Islamic Senior High School students, and for the future
researchers. It is suggested that English teachers implement this technique to their writing classes by teaching grammatical items integrated with writing skill, and the students need special efforts to find an appropriate technique in order to able to practice correct grammar in their writing. To have the paragraph correct, they can find the grammatical items in the recount texts made by outstanding writers in many textbooks. The study has provided the basis for future researchers since teaching grammar-in-context has been proved effective in reducing grammatical errors in students' writing; the findings of the research will be very helpful for the improvement of the students' writing ability in the future. At last, the future researchers may confirm, modify, or add the findings of the study.
