Abstract

This action research aimed to study simple sentence construction using past continuous tense in teaching year 4 pupils using the ‘Connect Me’ model. This action research attempted to address the following research objectives which were to determine whether the use of the ‘Connect Me’ model can help pupils in writing sentences with the past continuous tense and to demonstrate how the ‘Connect Me’ model helps in teaching constructing simple sentences with past continuous tense. A total of 30 research participants from Year 4 were selected for this research. Data was collected using pre-intervention tests and post-intervention tests, semi-structured interviews, and observational checklists. The results show that the implementation of the ‘Connect Me’ model helped the participants to improve their grammar knowledge of the past tense. However, some changes could be made to enhance the use of the ‘Connect Me’ model to teach pupils. The findings suggest the need for further research to add new action verbs and include pictures to define the meaning of new action verbs.
