Learning sentence structure is usually not seen as an enjoyable learning
experience, while writing is a complex system of communication, which means
learning how to write can pose some difficulties. Thus, “Walking Phrase”
activity was introduced to 26 young learners of Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri
Wangsa as a technique for engaging them in reading phrases and writing
sentences. The objective of this study was to investigate the perception of these
young learners towards the use of “Walking Phrase” as an effective strategy
in engaging them in English phrase reading and sentence writing. “Walking
Phrase” is a learning strategy that involves simple phrases and then learners
try to use them in structuring sentences. As for the present study, the students
each wore a phrase card. Then they read and memorized the short phrases
written on the cards. The students then wrote the phrases in their writing
booklets and also wrote complete sentences using the phrases. A questionnaire
which comprised sixteen “Yes”/“No” questions was administered each of the
26 participants who were Year 6 students of the primary school in order to
investigate their perception towards “Walking Phrase” activity. Based on the
findings obtained, the majority of the students viewed “Walking Phrase”
activity as an effective strategy in engaging them in reading phrases and
writing sentences of English. |
