Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to prove the effectiveness of using pedagogical cues in the form of comic strips, NLP graphics and color when learning the grammar of the English language. The experiment presented in the research (in which 57 students from 17 to 25 years of age participated) proved that grammar rules are comprehended easier, faster, and more effectively if visualized cues are used when memorizing the material. A methodology for teaching grammar with the use of comic books was developed as well as the methodological materials for teaching grammar to students of technical higher education institutions. The experiment confirmed that in case of applying the proposed methodology the formation of grammatical skills is 17% faster and more effective.
