IMPROVING WRITING SKILLS USING MODIFIED QUIPPER LEARNING MATERIALS: AN EXPLANATORY SEQUENTIAL MIXED METHOD STUDY

English Language

Writing is a complex skill that students still need help with. Despite English being a second language and students being exposed to it from early schooling, many students still need help using it in writing. Thus, this explanatory sequential mixed method study use the modified Quipper learning materials to test whether it effectively improves students’ writing skills. The paired t-test result greatly increased students’ writing competency level from below frustration to instructional. Though there is a significant improvement, it is still evident that students still have a long way to go to become proficient in writing, further supported by the qualitative data collected from the participants' responses. The students’ experiences and struggles explained the quantitative data results. Therefore, the modified Quipper learning materials are good learning tools; however, there is a need for more intervention to improve students’ writing skills.
