| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| The purpose of this research study was to find out how group work enhances students’
participation in literature activities in an ESL classroom as well as the students’ views
on the use of group work in literature activities in an ESL classroom. This study was
carried out in a secondary school in Machang, Kelantan using an action research
approach. 21 students took part in this study. As for the data collection instruments,
classroom observation recording, classroom observation checklist and questionnaire
were used. The results of the classroom observation recording and classroom
observation checklist indicated that the students managed to participate well in
performing the literature activities in the classroom. Additionally, according to the
findings of the questionnaire made with Google Form, it revealed that the use of
group work in literature activities received positive views from the students due to the
high level of mean. Therefore, group work is considered to be successful in enhancing
students’ participation in performing literature activities. Further research into the use
of group work to be utilized in Malaysian classrooms to enhance students’
participation in literature activities may be aided by this study's useful information for
ESL teachers and Ministry of Education officials. |
