Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of using blogs in
improving ESL narrative writing among primary school students in a school in Perak, Malaysia. The
participants were 30 Year Six students. There were four main objectives in this study. Firstly,
the study was to investigate how the use of blogs helps in improving students’
narrative writing performance. Secondly, it was to find out the students perceptions
towards the use of a teacher’s blog in writing their narrative essays. Thirdly, the study
was also to discover the roles of teachers, peers and parents that help students in the
blogging process. Lastly, it was to identify the positive or negative outcomes that
students have when they use blog that support narrative writing. The study employed a
quantitative and qualitative research design. The instruments of the study included a
pre-test and a post-test, questionnaires, and interview. The data obtained from the pre-test
and post-test showed that there was a significant difference on students’ performance in their
narrative essays. The students have improved their writing quantity and writing quality
especially in language use, content and vocabulary. The findings revealed the perception
of students towards blogs. They showed high interest in blogging (88.3%) and felt more
positive about writing narrative essays (80.8%). The students also felt that they gained
more ideas (76.8%), improved their grammar (78.3%), vocabulary (76.8%), punctuation
(76.8%) and benefited a lot from the blogs. Apart from that, the study also found that roles of
peers were more influential than the roles of teachers and parents in using blogs as medium of
teaching and learning (83%). The findings from the interview analysis with the teachers’ also
revealed that there are great positive outcomes when the students used blog in their narrative
writing. These results suggest that the use of blogs has a potential for improving students
performance in their narrative writing. As a conclusion, the study has shown positive evidence
towards the use of blogs in improving students’ narrative writing performance. Among the
implications of the study are that the use of blogs require better ICT facilities and changes in
teaching and learning pedagogy in a
technology-based teaching and learning approach.
