ABSTRACT

This study assessed the effectiveness of Multi-media Resources in the Teaching English in the Grade Grade 4 Pupils of Linao Central School. The findings of the study were the bases for the An Instructional Technology Intervention Plan. The quasi-experimental study determined the effectiveness of the utilization of multimedia resources in the teaching of English in the Grade 4 pupils classified into control and experimental group of Linao Central School. Quasi-experimental research is an empirical study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on its target population. In terms of grammar structure, experimental group proved to have improved in its performance having a majority of good and an increase in pupils doing very good compared to the pretest. Not one pupil did poor in the post test.
On the other hand, the comprehension level in experimental group also proved to have gotten better in level 4 which recorded 0 in the pretest. The group also noted a decrease in level 2 since some improved to level 4. Word meaning took a good turn having 10 pupils doing very good and has a majority of pupils in level 2 which is fair.
Further findings revealed that in vocabulary, the experimental group managed to improve their performance having scored in level 4 unlike previous performance. Majority is still doing good in vocabulary knowledge in level 3.
The level of difference in the performance of the Grade 4 pupils classified into control and experimental group before and after multimedia utilization in the Standardized Test in English in terms of grammar and comprehension are not significant, hence, accept the null hypothesis. Unlike in word meaning and vocabulary, the difference is significant, therefore, reject the null hypothesis. The level of difference in the performance of the Grade 4 pupils classified into control and experimental group after multimedia utilization proved not significant in terms of grammar structure and comprehension. The decision was to accept null hypothesis because of nonsignificance. Conversely, findings in word meaning and vocabulary proved significant which lead to a decision of rejecting null hypothesis. The performance of the Grade 4 pupils classified into control and experimental group in Grammar Structure, comprehension, word meaning and vocabulary have increased to the level of very good in the post test.
The utilization of multimedia proved not significant in the performance of the Grade 4 pupils classified into experimental group in grammar structure and comprehension and proved significant in word meaning and vocabulary.
