The Use of BBC Learning English in Improving Students' Grammar Mastery

Introduction

Integration of technology into EFL classrooms in this digital learning era is essential. Mohamad et al. (2020) stated that the use of  Information and communication technology (ICT) for  learning are dominated by Generation Z learners. Grammar is an important skill because it is the basis of a language that needs to be understood, but many people still find it difficult. BBC is one form of technology application in learning that provides free resources and activities for teaching and learning English. There are many contents such as quizzes, vocabulary, grammar, courses, and many other useful contents. According to findings from Saeedi and Biri (2016), students can improve their understanding of grammar through the use of videos watched with the help of technological devices. The results of pre-tests, post-tests, and interviews with students in the study showed that the use of technology in grammar teaching had a positive effect on students' mastery of grammar. This essay discusses how BBC Learning English is integrated into grammar teaching by highlighting its characteristics, how it is applied, and its benefits.

Literature Review

In language learning, BBC Learning English is widely used because of its multimedia base. Grammar material is presented through various features such as interactive quizzes, videos, and games. These features make grammar learning more flexible and interesting (Konotop, 2024). The integration of digital-based learning such as BBC Learning English can be implemented through blended learning. Research shows that regular or weekly use of such tools can increase student motivation, memory and vocabulary, as well as learning according to student abilities. (Hamdani & Puspitorini, 2021); (Sujana et al., 2020). BBC Learning English has been proven to have a positive impact on grammar comprehension, both for classroom teaching and independent learning, even though it is not specifically designed for grammar learning. (Paramita & Ayu, 2024).

Conclusion

BBC Learning English has been proven effective in improving students' grammar skills. Through contextual videos, interactive quizzes, and other multimedia content, learning becomes more engaging and easier to understand. The platform also supports independent and flexible learning, as well as increasing student motivation. Although it is not a grammar-specific application, its use has a positive impact on both classroom and independent learning.
