Assalamu'alaikum.. Hello fellas !! This is my first assignment blog in 4th semester, and this blog will contain a review of journals that will become the foundation when I do research later. Well, I chose a journal about grammar. Certainly among you many who think that grammar is difficult, grammar is complicated, etc. The reason I'm choosing a journal about grammar doesn't mean I'm proficient in grammar, but grammar always makes me interested in continuing to learn English in depth. The trick I do to master grammar is to diligently read and understand and practice. So guys, for those of you who still think that grammar is difficult, let's be diligent in reading because we are studying together.

This time I refer to one of the journal compiled by
Mukminatus Zuhriyah under the title PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’
GRAMMAR COMPETENCE. Just looking at the title, I was immediately interested
because this learning centered on problems. well, from the whole, I caught
the core of this journal, PBL turned out to be one of the student-centered
learning methods and the teacher only became a facilitator. Is it the same with
SCL huh? Etherington (2011: 54) which states that problem-based learning is
where students are given the task of solving problems related to their material.
PBL is also an innovative method where students are formed in small groups to
collaborate in analyzing and solving problems.

Then how about the introduction in this journal? Let's
look at the paragraph I paraphrase.
INTRODUCTION
Grammar is one of the subject
subjects that must be studied by students of English language education
throughout the university because grammar is a component of language that is
very important to master. Grammar has an important role in 4 English skills,
when reading, grammar is needed to understand context in text with well. When
writing, grammar is needed to get understadable writing. It is also happens
when listening and speaking. Additional, Priya (2015: 72) that communication
argues become coherent and logical by using grammar.Then, baleghizadeh and
Mozaheb (2011: 364) state that the learners' age, their proficiency level, and
educational background levels of grammar to be different.
That is the fact that learning
grammar is not easy. Many 5th semester students of English language education
at the Hasyim Asy’ari University (UNHASY) held on November 7, 2016, students
still have weak grammar competencies as evidenced by the value they got. Their
average score was 65. The highest value was 70. The presentation of students
who get 70 was 22%. The cause of weak grammar is that it can be from students
or teachers. Matas and Natolo (2010: 371) state that teaching grammar needs
student-centered methods. One of the student-centered methods is PBL because it
is a learning method where students get assignments and they analyze and
complete the material in a collaborative manner in groups in the class and it
is easier for students to understand more quickly because they practice
directly independently. That is the reason why PBL was implemented in this
research.
That is the introduction review of this journal,
essentially the PBL method can be applied in our learning so that we can
analyze the material well and understand grammar faster so we can improve our
English language skills well.
