D. The Benefits of the Research
May the results of this research be benefit theoretically and practically for the students, the teacher, the researcher, and other researchers.
1. For Students By conducting this research, it is expected that the students’ difficulties
in learning grammar can be overcome in order that their knowledge of grammar can improve. They are also expected to experience their grammar
learning process in a new atmosphere with more communicative activities or tasks to arouse their motivation and interest in learning grammar so they can
participate actively during the learning process to improve their grammar mastery especially in learning English tenses.
2. For Teachers The research is expected to be the source for other teachers who have
the same problem. It is also expected to be the inspiration in teaching learning process. Teacher can implement the same method and create the various
activities using TBLT. Action research is also one of the ways for developing teacher’s
professionalism. By conducting this research, it is expected to improve the teacher’s awareness of students’ needs for learning to cope the students’
problem because the aim of this research is to identify the problems occurring in the teaching learning process.

3. For the Researcher The researcher expects that this research can improve my knowledge,
and experience about conducting the research in teaching learning process and make me more aware of the problem occurring in teaching learning
environment. This research is also supposed to increase my reflectivity to evaluate my own teaching professionalism to provide the learning process
more meaningfully. 4. For other researchers
This research is expected to inspire the other researchers to do the similar research due to the problem happened in English education and also to
conduct further research about the implementation of task-based language teaching in improving students’ grammar mastery. It is expected to increse
their awareness of the students’ problems in learning grammar and other educational problems, especially in teaching and learning process that can be
solved by doing the research. perpustakaan.uns.ac.id

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Theoretical Description
1. Grammar Mastery
a. The Definitions of Grammar Mastery
Grammar has been identified in many different ways and perspectives. Some experts argue that grammar consists of the study of syntax and morphology,
and others argue that it only refers to syntax. According to Galaso 2002: 3 and Radford 2009: 1 that grammar is divided into two inter-related studies consisting
morphology and syntax. Morphology is the study of how words are formed out of smaller units. And Syntax, on the other hand, is the study of how words are
formed in a phrase, a clause, or a sentence. Jeffries 2006: 6 states that grammar in the term of syntax is the study of words are structured in phrases and sentences.
Based on the definitions above I in this research will focus on grammar correlating with syntax.
Harmer 2001: 12 defines: “Grammar of a language is the description of the ways in which words can change their forms and can be combined into
sentences in that language.” According to Ur 2009: 87, Grammar is a set of rules that define how words or parts of words are combined or changed to form
acceptable units of meaning within a language. She also adds that Grammar does not only affect how units of language are combined in order to look right; it also
affects their meaning. Meanwhile Greenbaum and Nelson 2002: 1 define that 10
