Abstract
The current study was done to compare the effectiveness of two approaches in teaching comparative adjectives to the Iranian high school grade1 students: mechanical vs. non-mechanical approach To understand the change has occurred for both groups between their pretest and post test separately, an Kolmogorov Smirnov is done.Finally, in order to compare the performance of experimental (non-mechanical) and control (mechanical) groups in the post-test, first their gain scores were calculated, then the gain scores of experimental as well as control groups were compared using an Independent T-Test. non-mechanical instruction of comparative adjectives to the Iranian high school grade1 students’ comparative adjective knowledge is more effective than mechanical instruction .Post test scores of the experimental and control group were compared by an independent T- test. The average of the scores in the Experimental group was meaningfully higher then the control group (p<0.00( . The average of scores in the EG was 16.83+ 1.78 and in the CG 14.03+ 2.65. Thus non-mechanical instruction of comparative adjectives to the Iranian high school grade1 students’ comparative adjective knowledge is more effective than mechanical instruction.
