3.6 Results and Analysis
After all the raw data were collected, the statistical analyses were made with the help of SPSS to check if the two
teaching methods had significantly different effects on developing grammatical competence. The results of the
statistical analyses will be presented in relation to the research questions:
(1) Whether learners in the Experimental Class can make a significant progress in grammar learning after
experiencing an experimental semester;
(2) Whether learners in the Experimental Class can make more progress in grammar learning than those in the
Control Class through the experimental semester.
(3) Whether the Grammar Translation Method is more effective in improving learners’ learning confidence and
motivation than the Communicative Approach?
