Abstract

Berliana, Andi Nathasya. (2025). The Effectiveness of “LEO Network” Website in Enhancing Grammar Proficiency Among the Seventh-Grade Students of SMPN 9 Salatiga. Graduating Paper. English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty. UIN Salatiga. Counsellor: Norwanto, S.Pd., M.Hum., Ph.D. LEO Network website is a digital platform designed to support EFL/ESL learners and teachers in mastering English, especially grammar. Established in the United Kingdom in 1999, it has served more than 21,000 users worldwide by providing free access to a wide range of learning materials. These include English vocabulary, grammar resources, pronunciation aids, listening exercises, and interactive tools. This study examines the ability of seventh-grade students at SMPN 9 Salatiga to use grammar during the pre-test and post-test. Besides, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of LEO Network website in enhancing grammar proficiency among them, with a particular focus on the present continuous tense. In this study, 28 seventh-grade students from class 7D at SMPN 9 Salatiga participated in a one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design. Before and after a week learning session utilising the LEO Network website, the participants took a grammar test using Google Forms. The results showed that following the treatment, students’ grammar scores significantly improved from 48.29 to 68.14. The post-test results demonstrated significant growth, with more students reaching higher competency levels, but the pre-test results suggested poor comprehension of the target structure. With a p-value less than 0.001, the statistical study, which employed a paired sample t-test, verified that the improvement was significant. The research’s findings demonstrate that the LEO Network website is effective in improving grammatical proficiency, particularly in the present continuous tense. EFL teachers and students may find this site to be an alternative for digital grammar learning. Key words: Grammar Proficiency; LEO Network; Digital Platform.
