Abstract:
This study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of animated video application as a tool to teach students in mastering the verb of Iban Language subjects. A total of 30 Iban and Baketan from three classes in a primary school in rural area in Kapit, Sarawak were involved in the study using a Quasi- experimental design. These students were divided into two groups; the treatment group was taught using the tool approach and the controlled group was taught with the conventional approach. The research instrument uses pre and post tests as well as questionnaires. The collected data were analysed and examined using t-test using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) Version Ninja. The difference between the treatment group and the control group with t-value=1.45, p<0.10 (0.340). The results of the study showed that students were able to master the verb in Iban Language using technological methods and non-technological methods. Students’ motivation towards learning Iban verb during the application of Talking Tom was high with a mean value of 5.35. Animated video application is able to increase students’ motivation towards learning.
