Abstract

Learning sentence structure is an important element in mastering English, as it allows learners to convey thoughts and ideas in a meaningful way. However, mastering sentence structure in English can be difficult for English learners, as English has a unique sentence structure system that is different from other languages. This research aims to explore the role of sentence structure in learning English, the challenges that English learners face when mastering sentence structure and strategies to help English learners overcome these challenges. The research will focus on the challenges that English learners face when mastering sentence structure, such as the influence of native language, the complexity of English sentence structure and the impact of English proficiency. The results of this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of sentence structure in English language learning and provide information for the development of more effective language teaching methods and strategies. The results of this research may be useful to English language lecturers and curriculum developers interested in improving the quality of English language education for English learners.

The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of sentence structures in learning English and inform the development of more effective language teaching methods and strategies. The results of this research can be useful for English language instructors and curriculum developers who are interested in improving the quality of English language education for ELLs. The study highlights the importance of sentence structures in learning English and offers insights into how ELLs can be supported in acquiring this crucial aspect of the English language.
