Abstract


This Research and Development (R&D) study addresses the issue of grammar proficiency among English Education students at Universitas Negeri Medan. The solution proposed is the development of a learning media in the form of a web-based English Grammar forum. The development involved the application of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model. This systematic framework led to the development of an innovative online discussion forum. In this forum, students take on the role of contributors, where they educate their peers on English grammar concepts, aligning with the "Learning by Teaching" method. In the evaluation stage, contributors' experiences were assessed, revealing that rigorous questions and an active community fostered an engaging and motivating learning environment. Users reported improved language skills and a deeper grasp of grammar concepts. The development of an English Grammar Online Discussion Forum, following the ADDIE model, showcases its potential as a learning media that is able to improve the grammar learning experience of the students.
