The objective of this research was finding out whether or not the use of EGRA (Exposure, Generalization, Reinforcement, Application) method can improve the students’ grammar ability at SMPN 1 Metro.This research employed test design. There were two variables, namely independent variable EGRA (Exposure, Generalization, Reinforcement, Application) and dependent variable grammar. The problem statement was that how is the grammar ability of the students before applying EGRA “exposure, generalization, reinforcement, application, and application method in SMP N 1 Metro.To answer the problem statement, which is related to the objective of the research, the writer applied pre-experimental method which is one group pre-test and post-test design. The writer collected data by giving pre-test and post-test which are formulated in multiple choice items. The data collected through pre-test and post-test were firstly tabulated and the analyzed in percentage. The sample of the research was the second year students of SMPN 1 Metro. They consisted of 40 students. The writer used total sampling technique in this research. In means that the sample in that class was all taken.The instrument of this research was a test used in pre-test and post-test. The result of the data indicated that, there was difference between students’ pre-test and post-test. The mean score of post-test (5.64) was greater than the mean score of pre-test (3.28). from t-observed, the researcher found that, the value of t-observed (9.37) was greater than t-table (2.021) at the level of significance 0.05 degree of freedom (df) = 39.Based on the finding and discussion of the research, the researcher concluded that, the use of EGRA (exposure, generalization, reinforcement, application) method had good improvement the students’ grammar ability of SMPN 1 Metro.
