In this work, the pre-test, post-test and non-Identical control group approach was employed, which is a quasi-experimental approach. The total number of participants in the trial was 47. It has been found that there is exceptional improvement in students by an experimental process as gain in every aspect, that is, grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, fluency, and form is very much high.
