This study is focused on assessing the   ability of the first semester students of English Department,  Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Mahasaraswati Denpasar University   in academic year 2009/2010 in mastering English grammar. This study was intended to answer the Research Question: ‘To what extent is the acquisition of English grammar mastery of the first semester students of English Department, the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Mahasaraswati Denpasar University  in academic year 2009/2010?. The data required were collected by administering the valid and reliable research instrument in form of multiple choice test. Then,  the data were analyzed by using Norm Reference Measures of five standard values. The population  of the study is the first semester students of English Department in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Mahasaraswati Denpasar University  which consists of 120 students. They are considered to have heterogeneous characteristics. There were 30 students determined as the sample of the study   using quota random sampling technique. The result of the data analysis   showed that (1)  13.33% out of the whole subjects under study showed excellent ability in mastering grammar, (2)   6.66%   showed good ability, (3) 53.33%  showed sufficient ability,  (4) 23.33% showed insufficient ability , (5) 3.33% showed poor ability in mastering grammar. If the result of the study were used as the bases to assign level to the subjects under study, then  26.66% fail in learning and acquiring English grammar. It means that 26.66% of them still have low ability. The finding of the present study was trusted to have rather limited degree of validity and reliability because it was conducted using an ex post facto research design and it has some inherent independent variables which contaminate the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings of the study can be used as the bases in planning  better language teaching especially in mastering grammar.

<p>The role of knowledge on English Morphology for the students of English Language Education (henceforth ELE) cannot be neglected. However, the preliminary observations done by the researcher during the instructional process of English Morphology at the State College for Islamic Studies (STAIN) Kediri Indonesia, for three academic years shows that most of the students still get difficulty in understanding the course content.  The researcher, therefore, is of the opinion that the instructional materials used in the classes need to be developed. The adaptation version of Borg &amp; Gall (1983) model of R &amp; D  covering preliminary observation, designing preliminary product, expert validation, product revision, field testing or try out, and revision to produce final product is used to develop an instructional material on English Morphology. The products mostly concern on 1) the course content, 2) the exercises, and 3) the level of language difficulty or word choice. The researcher expects that the final product of this study could be used as a handbook for the students in studying English Morphology.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> <em>instructional materials, material development, English morphology</em></p>
