Abstract

This study investigates the development and effectiveness of integrated English grammar worksheets utilizing Video-ISL Collective, a platform that combines video content with interactive learning tasks. The research was driven by the growing demand for engaging, student-centered materials that move beyond traditional, textbook-based grammar instruction. Conventional methods often fail to capture students’ interest or meet the diverse learning needs of today’s learners. In response, the study designed and implemented video-based grammar worksheets intended to create a more dynamic and interactive learning environment. The findings revealed a remarkable improvement in students' grammar proficiency, with an average pre-test score of 55 increasing to a post-test score of 90—indicating significant learning gains. Additionally, 93% of the students demonstrated mastery in grammar usage through the evaluations conducted. Feedback gathered from participants further underscored the approach’s success, with 100% of the students reporting high levels of satisfaction and appreciation for the video-based worksheets. Students found the materials more enjoyable, accessible, and effective in helping them understand complex grammar concepts. The study concludes that incorporating video-based learning tools like ISL Collective significantly enhances student engagement and grammar acquisition. It offers a more flexible, visually rich, and interactive approach to language learning. The positive outcomes suggest that such resources should be integrated more broadly into English language curricula. Future research is encouraged to explore the long-term impact of video-integrated materials and their application across other areas of language instruction.
