As the part of life, English has become an important language since it is used
as a formal language among countries in the world. To master the language, one
factor should be considered well is grammar. For L2 learners, grammar seems hard to
master because they think about formulas and less practices. In grammar, one of the
parts is adjective clause.
In vocational high school‟s curriculum, English only has a very limited time a
week so that the teacher needs to manage the time very well in order to manage the
theory, vocabulary, material, and grammar. For that reason, the writer uses Engage,
Study, Activate (ESA) method which focuses on grammar especially adjective clause.
Through the quasi-experimental design of the research, the writer conducts the
research in order to know whether the use of ESA is effective or not in teaching the
students‟ mastery of grammar.
The writer conducts the research for about four months and he takes place in
SMK Rosyahal Fikri Wonosobo. He takes all population as his sample because the
population is only 46 students using saturated sampling technique. For the instrument,
he uses test of grammar in the form of multiple choice both for pre-test and post-test
and for experimental group and control group.
Here, the writer uses two analysis method namely descriptive analysis and
inferential analysis and from the computation, the mean score of the students of pretest
are 67.83 and 66.96 and in post-test, their mean score is 78.26 and 70.65. Then, to
answer the hypothesis, the writer employs t-test formula. Knowing that the data has
normal distribution (9.55 and 10.42 < 11.070) and homogenous (1.043 < 2.048), the
result of t-test computation shows that the tvalue is higher than ttable (2.248 > 2.015)
which means that the Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. So, it can be concluded that
the use of ESA method is effective in teaching adjective clause.
