Development of basic English Grammar Learning Material with Interactive Multimedia for SD Negeri 03 Rantau Selatan

Abstract

This study aimed to develop interactive multimedia-based learning materials for teaching basic English grammar at SD Negeri 03 Rantau Selatan, with the goal of improving students' grammar comprehension and engagement. Traditional grammar instruction often fails to maintain students’ attention or provide sufficient opportunities for active learning. Multimedia learning, which integrates visual, auditory, and interactive elements, offers a potential solution to these challenges. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, including pre- and post-test assessments, surveys, and classroom observations, to evaluate the effectiveness of the multimedia materials. The developed learning materials included videos, quizzes, grammar games, and interactive exercises designed to reinforce key grammar concepts such as sentence structure, tenses, and subject-verb agreement. The materials were implemented over a period of six weeks with 30 students in the fifth grade. Data was collected through pre- and post-assessments to measure improvements in grammar knowledge, as well as through surveys and teacher feedback to assess student engagement and motivation. The results showed a significant improvement in students' grammar skills, with the average post-test score increasing by 24% from the pre-test. Students reported greater enjoyment and engagement with the lessons, with 90% expressing that they felt more motivated and confident in applying grammar rules. Teachers observed increased student participation and noted that the multimedia materials allowed for more individualized learning. These findings suggest that interactive multimedia is an effective tool for enhancing grammar learning, increasing student motivation, and fostering a more engaging classroom environment
