Effectiveness of Grammar-Integrated Authentic Assessment in Enhancing Language Proficiency among High School Students: A Meta-Analysis Review

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of grammar-integrated authentic assessment in enhancing language proficiency among Junior and Senior High School Students through content analysis. Struggling to enhance language proficiency among Junior and Senior High School Students, Grammar- Integrated Authentic Assessment practice of English as a Second Language (ESL) Teachers would be effective. Traditional methods of grammar instruction often isolate grammar rules from practical language use, potentially limiting students' ability to apply these rules in real-life contexts. By integrating authentic assessment techniques, which involve real-world tasks and applications, this research aimed to bridge the gap between grammatical knowledge and its practical usage. The results showed that students exposed to the grammar-integrated authentic assessments performed far above those who were taught through traditional grammar instruction in language proficiency improvement. The conclusion of this study was that integrating authentic assessment into the teaching of grammar is one way to make language proficiency more appropriate for high school learners of the language and to give them a more holistic or practical understanding of the usage of the language.
