Abstract

Language skills and components are important aspects in learning English that cannot be separated each other. Students can learn speaking, listening, reading, and writing better if they have good knowledge of grammar. However, many Indonesian students have difficulties in learning English, especially grammar. There are so many ways for the English teacher to give variation in teaching grammar, such as by playing games. Games help children not only gain knowledge but be able to apply and use that for learning. Thus, to investigate whether or not there was a significant effect of using Racing Game on the eighth grade students’ interactive grammar achievement; Racing Game was used as the alternative technique in teaching grammar in this research.
