ABSTRACT

—— This study aimed to determine the Effectiveness of Task-based Language Strategy 9TBLTS) to the literacy performance of the Grade 8 pupil in English. The findings of the study served as a basis of a proposed intervention plan. This study used the QuasiExperimental method of research to determine the significant difference of the aforementioned variables. The researcher utilized Universal Sampling in identifying the respondents of the study. the test of difference between the scores in the pre-test and post-test of Grade 8 students in control and experimental group. It was revealed on the table that the two groups differs on the results where Grade 8 section A with a test scores, the computed t value with the critical value, the decision is the hypothesis is accepted and interpreted as not significant, while Grade 8 section B with the test scores with a computed T value of and critical value the decision is, the hypothesis is rejected and interpreted as significant. This means that from control group their result was consistent from pre-test resulted to good level of performance both pre-test and post-test without applying the Task-based language teaching strategy, while experimental group or section B students were able to understand with the use of the strategy which is the task-based language teaching strategy. This means that there is a significant difference between scores in the pre-test and pot-test from Section B. This implies that with the use of the task-based language teaching strategy is effective and students were able to understand the concepts, attainment of the objective is visible which helps improve the performance of the Grade 8 students. The results in Table 3 regarding the test of difference of the pre-test and post-test performance of Grade 8 students the integration of task-based language teaching strategy, it implied that students performance will vary on the strategies injected by teacher and how the teacher delivered the lesson well which resulted to improve the level of performance. In other words if that strategy will be applied all throughout the school year, chances are, the performance of the Grade 8 students will really improve.
