The Use of Roll and Tell Activity to Improve Grade 9 Students’ Performance in English

This action research investigated how to improve the students’ performance in English of grade 9 learners in one of the public schools in Ozamis City. The study was conducted in the school year 2024 and employed a mixed-method design with 40 purposively sampled participants. Pre and post-tests were used to measure students’ performance, while a well-made lesson plan and questionnaire gathered information on improvements after the activity implementation. A researcher-made test was used for data collection, and the analysis included calculating the mean, and standard deviation, conducting a t-test, and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that there is a significant improvement in students’ performance. In conclusion, the implementation of Roll and Tell fosters additional improvements, including increased participation and proactivity, heightened confidence among students, and enhanced interaction with peers. These outcomes signify the multifaceted benefits of Roll and Tell beyond academic achievement, such as fostering a more collaborative and supportive learning environment. The research recommended that English teachers should continue incorporating interactive strategies into the English curriculum to enhance students’ performance and engagement. Additionally, teachers may undergo training and workshops, assess students’ progress, and encourage peer collaboration among learners.
