Abstract

Many students find difficulty in learning English language. Moreover, we have overcrowded classrooms so individuality of a learner cannot be paid attention to. There can be many ways of learning a single topic. It was in this area that an attempt was made to teach Prepositions with the help of a self-learning technique called Work-card. With the help of Work-cards, the learners can move ahead in learning any topic at their own pace and this brings confidence in the learners. The objectives of the study were: (1) To check the effectiveness of Work-cards as compared to the Lecture method, and (2) To check the effectiveness of Work-cards on both the gender. The study was experimental in nature hence ‘two groups, randomized subjects, only post-test design’ was selected. The researcher evaluated the effectiveness both techniques by administering a post-test of 30 marks. The statistical analysis was done with the help of the software called SPSS. As a result, the work-card proved better than the Lecture method. And the girl students performed better than the boy students.
