The study was designed to investigate whether integrating movie clips in English grammar lesson will affect students‘ performance in grammar. It also examined students‘ feedback towards learning English Grammar through integrating movie clips in their grammar lesson.

Three types of activities were carried out during the treatment period for three week continuously on the experimental group. On the other hand, the control group was exposed to the same grammatical item using the traditional method. The differences in students‘ performance were tested using Pretest and Post-test. Students‘ feedback on learning grammar through movie clips was gathered using questionnaires.
