摘要：Writing is one of the most difficult language skills to master. In order to overcome the difficulties of writing and due to the influence of 21st century learning, Tweet Struck is used by the researchers to teach sentence construction to Year 4 pupils. This study aimed to investigate the use of Tweet Struck in improving primary school pupils’ sentence construction in English and the pupils’ perceptions of using Tweet Struck. 8 pupils from Year 4 in a suburban school in Mersing, Johor and Ipoh, Perak,Malaysia participated in this study. This study employed an action research design which was carried out through planning, acting, observing and reflecting. Writing tests and questionnaire were used as the instruments of collecting the data. The results of the post-test at the end of the treatments showed a significant improvement of the pupils’ sentence construction skills. The analysis of the questionnaire showed that most of the participants strongly agreed that pupils have positive perceptions of using Tweet Struck. The findings concludes that by incorporating Tweet Struck in English language classrooms, pupils will have significant improvements in their English language sentence writing skills.
