چکیده:
This paper introduces a set of English grammar symbols that the author has
developed to enhance students’ understanding and consequently, application
of the English grammar rules. A pretest-posttest control-group design was
carried out in which the samples were students in two girls’ senior high
schools (N=135, P ≤ 0.05) divided into two groups: the Treatment which
received grammar lessons with grammar symbols; and the Control which
received grammar lessons without the symbols. The experiment lasted for 30
hours spanned in three months. The statistical test revealed a significant
higher gain scores for the Treatment group. Thus, the author strongly
recommends using these symbols (or similar ones with the same
characteristics) at least for two reasons. Firstly, students do not have to
memorize all of them (72 tense symbols and 50 other symbols). That is, with
just a few rules to learn, and then applying the existing algorithm, other
symbols are easily shaped. Secondly, using these symbols enables teachers
and students to have a general idea as to what to expect next because several
grammatical rules and formulae can be predicted in advance.
