Introduction
Curriculum for the graduating students requires grammar
should be part of their knowledge as a part of their learning at
school. As a prerequisite, grammar has been taught in high school
and at other school as well. In linguistics, grammar is the set of
structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases,
and words in any given natural language. The term refers also to
the study of such rules, and this field includes morphology,
syntax, and phonology, often complemented by phonetics,
semantics, and pragmatics. Also, grammatical competence is the
ability to recognize and produce the distinctive grammatical
structures of a language and to use them effectively in
communication. So, why study grammar? When you study
grammar, you are studying the structure of languages, and
learning about how languages work. Grammar all by itself will not
make you a good writer or a reader. The accuracy in the sentence
depends on the learners mastery and knowledge of grammar.
Grammar is believed to be the most important factor in terms of
language.
So why are there cases about the wrong grammar of the
students? In some cases, they are not familiar with the words
used in a particular sentence, or they really do not have interests
in studying grammar. Although in today's current situation,
grammar has been thought to students thoroughly by the
teachers, but students choose to pay a little attention to it. With
these, the status of the grammatical competency of the
graduating students doesnt have the assurance for the advanced
level of grammar.
Research Questions
The study aimed to determine the level of the grammatical
competencies of the students among the fourth year graduating
students of Bernardo Lirio Memorial National High School.
Specifically the study sought to answer the following:
1. What is/are the common mistakes of the fourth year
graduating students in their usage of grammar?
2. Does the English teachers teaching methodologies affects
the students competency level in the use of correct
grammar?
3. Is there relationship about the respondents' profile with
their competency level?
Research Objective
The aim of the work described in this research was to
improve the competency level of the students in grammar by
conducting this research, and formulating hypothesis for the said
problem. The research objectives include:
1. To determine the level of the grammatical competencies
of the fourth year graduating students.
2. To help our fellow graduating students to extend their
knowledge of grammar.
