摘要：This study aims to find out the effectiveness of using melodic sentence structure on enhancing the pupils’ ability to write sentences. The study adopted a mixed-method approach where two types of data collection tools were used — a pre-test and a post-test as well as an interview. The participants of this study were Year Five pupils from a rural area school at Southern Perak. There were altogether 20 pupils involved in this study who had problems in writing sentences with correct sentence structure. Based on the findings, the pre-test and post-test results showed that the mean score of post-test is significantly higher than the pre-test. This increase in post-test indicated positive improvement in the pupil’s performance level in sentence writing. The findings from the interview revealed that the pupils have positive perceptions about using the melodic sentence structure as a strategy to improve sentence writing. Five themes obtained from the interview summarized all the perceptions of pupils’ in the effectiveness of using this type of sentence structure on improving sentence writing. The findings strongly concluded that melodic sentence structures or the help of using songs and music to write sentences can be an effective tool in aiding the pupils to master certain sentence structures.
