Abstract
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Question and Answer (Q&A) method in teaching English grammar to Grade VI students at MI Islamiyah Ujung Bom. Grammar is a fundamental component of English language learning; however, many elementary school students experience difficulties in understanding grammatical concepts due to teacher-centered and monotonous instructional methods. To address this issue, this research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. The subjects of this study consisted of two groups of Grade VI students: an experimental group taught using the Question and Answer method and a control group taught using conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through grammar achievement tests administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis to determine the effectiveness of the implemented method.The findings revealed that students in the experimental group showed a significant improvement in their grammar achievement compared to those in the control group. In addition, the Question and Answer method increased students’ classroom participation, confidence, and motivation in learning English grammar. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Question and Answer method is effective in improving students’ English grammar mastery at the elementary school level.
