3.6.5.4 Date analysis of the item 4: Much progress in English grammar learning has been made after one semester’ learning.
Item 4 is about the results of one semester’s grammar learning. From table 3-9, we can see 85.7 percent of the
students in the experimental group think they have made progress in grammar learning. Not only does the progress
refer to the mastery of grammatical rules, but also it refers to the improvement in students’ confidence in grammar
learning and enthusiasm for grammar learning. Compared with only 63.7 percent in the control group who are
taught by the Communicative Approach, the result shows that the Grammar Translation Method is more effective in
improving students’ confidence and enthusiasm in grammar learning than the Communicative Approach.
