INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF INTERACTIVE VIDEOS ON LEARNING THE ORDER OF ENGLISH ADJECTIVES BY PRIMARY SCHOOL ESL LEARNERS OF LAHORE

Abstract

     This paper aims to examine the erudition of English adjectival orders, both immediately and after a passage of a specific time. It investigates the theory of Connectivism proposed by George Siemen in 2004 through the lens of Connectivism. It is quantitative research which uses a quasi-experimental design consisting of pre-test, post-test and delayed-post tests. The study sample is primary school students (ages 11 to 13 years) of two sections of Grade 5. This sample is based on convenience sampling. Five lesson plans are prepared for each group for an experimental period. Moreover, achievement tests are used to collect the data, and SPSS software is used to analyse the data. The significance of this research inculcates that by pairing adjectives, learners get more meaning to nouns, which raises the essence of their language innovatively. Furthermore, it is essential to understand that semantics impacts the order of adjectives because a slight change in order alters the sense of the sentence and produces a meaningless sound.
