and plural of nouns form. In this case, drilling is expected to be able to help the students in understandingirregular singular and plural of nouns form. Drilling is a
technique in which students work independently within a learning environment. It is educates them to participate active in the classroom, so that it can increase the
students’ interest in learning English especially in learning irregular singular and plural of noun form.
In teaching irregular singular and plural of noun form by using Drilling can provide opportunities for students to active engagement with material. Moreover,
drilling suggests that students must do more than just listen; they must read, write, discuss or be engage in solving problems. Most important, to be active involved,
students have had the opportunity to work and have life experiences that have shown them that they can learn things on their own and can participate and
interact with both other students and the teacher in the classroom. Therefore, use of this method in the classroom is vital because students can improve their skill.
