Abstract

This study investigated students' perceptions of explicit and implicit methods of learning English tenses. It also sought to identify the learning method that is more effective in improving students' understanding of English tenses. The mixed method approach was applied to students of Junior High School (SMP) DDI Mangkoso in South Sulawesi of Indonesia. The samples comprised 18 students from class VIII/a learning English tenses through the implicit method and eight from VIII/b using the direct method. The results showed that the implicit way significantly increased understanding of English tenses. Students using this method were more actively engaged in the learning process. The observation result and students’ responses indicated that implicit and explicit methods are equally enjoyable. However, learning with an explicit method made students unable to understand the materials delivered.
