Effectiveness of Task based Learning to Enhance Functional Grammar Competency

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a new method of teaching English among the students of primary section, the researcher carried out an experimental study. Having just the understanding to English language and having competency over English language are two separate aspects. One must be accurate at the English language instead of just getting communicative competency. The researcher aimed to develop not only the functional grammar competency but also sub skills such as communicative and functional language competencies at English. It was an experimental study and both qualitative and quantitative type of study. Two group pre test programme and post test research design was selected for the study. The researcher implemented a set of tasks on selected chapters of grammar topics and implemented among the students of experimental group. The study found out that the students having the treatment of such programme have become more competent than the students learnt through the conventional mode of learning. The researcher also observed that all the students were excited and curious during the implementation of each activity of the programme. In all ten tasks on different grammar items were selected for preparing the programme.
