INTRODUCTION
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is the term used to describe the study of English by non-native speakers in countries where English is not the dominant language.
This is not to be confused with English as a Second Language, also called English as an Additional Language, which is the practice of learning English in a predominantly English-speaking country (Nordquist, 2.
Regarding that, language is not only knowledge but also a means of communication.
When we learn a language, there are four skills that we need for complete When we learn our native language, we usually learn to listen first, then to speak, then to read, and finally to write.
These are called the four "language skills".
The four skills of language .
lso known as the four skills of language learnin.
are a set of four capabilities that allow an individual to comprehend and produce spoken language for proper and effective interpersonal communication.
These skills are Listening.
Speaking.
Reading, and Writing.
In the context of the first-language acquisition, the four skills are most often acquired in the order of listening first, then speaking, then possibly reading and writing.
For this reason, these capabilities are often called LSRW Productive skillshare consist of speaking and writing and they are significant because they permit learners to perform in communicative aspects such as oral presentations, written studies, and reports among others (Hossain, 2.
Therefore, these skills need to be developed and studied properly and more specifically in this research, we are studying about grammar.

said that grammar may be defined as the rules of a language, governing the way in which words are put together to convey meaning in different contexts.
Grammar has the rules about how these words change to show different things (Englishclub, 2.
For example.
Auis drinkingAy shows the action that happens now, and AudrankAy shows that the action happened in the past.
Some experts have some the differences about the term of grammar.
According to Harmer .
grammar is the description of the ways in which words are formed and can change their form and can be combined into sentences in order to express different meanings.
Thus, by studying grammar, we have to recognize the structures, rules, and also the regularity that is the foundation of language so that we can gain the language system.
Furthermore, we can know how the words or phrases are combined into sentences by studying According to Thornbury .
types of grammar are divided into two types, they are spoken grammar and written grammar.
Spoken grammar is used in casual formal Spoken grammar has closely studied that arguments have been advanced in favor of teaching.
Based on some studies, the students have difficulties in understanding grammar.

The grammatical correctness is described as analyzing and explaining in a sentence while the writing is focused in the attempt of making the learners understand how to use the language in a real context (Ameliani, 2.
Various studies have examined how ICT can give benefit for both students and teachers when implemented properly.
Cowie and Jones .
stated that ICT can nurture educational objectives like knowledge selection and creation, collaboration, and ICT use can make lessons more interesting, more enjoyable for both teachers and students, more diverse, more motivating, and more supportive of productive Additionally.

listed five obvious impacts on ICT use to support EFL learning and teaching.
First, it helps educators easily adapt teaching materials to meet circumstances, learnerAos needs, and responses.
Second, it offers access to authentic materials on the web.
Third, it allows to react upon and enables the use of recent/daily Fourth, it helps teachers combine or use alternately skills .

so that classes become more interesting and learnersAo engagement Finally, it enables teachers and/or students to focus on one specific aspect of the lesson .
rammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc.
According to Padurean and Margan .
ICT use in EFL class offers four benefits.
First.
ICT provides the capacity to control the presentation.
Unlike books which have a fixed presentation, computers can combine visual with listening materials, text with graphics, and pictures.
Second.
ICT offers novelty and creativity.
ICT facilitates teachers to use different materials for each lesson.
Third.
ICT provides fast feedback to students` answers through error correction.
Computers not only spot the mistake but also correct it and give the appropriate advice.
Fourth.
ICT offers adaptability.
Teachers can adapt computer programs to suit their students` needs and level of language knowledge.
This makes computer programs more learner-friendly, different from books which are produced in a single uniform format and need to be taught irrespectively of students` Many researchers had designed some ICT learning media especially in grammar For example.

Some strengths of AL Ae TENS app are as follows:
Atrract the students to learn grammar So far, students are only taught grammar material using textbooks so that the learning method feels monotonous.
With the AL Ae TENS app, students feel they get a new atmosphere because they use different learning media.
This, of course, can foster students' enthusiasm to learn grammar material.
The features presented can be operated easily As common in other applications.
AL - TENS app also has interesting features and is easy to operate.
In addition to presenting the material.
AL - TENS app also provides a background sound to accompany students in studying the material.
Can be accessed anywhere and anytime in offline mode Because it is in the form of an android application.
AL Ae TENS app can be accessed by students wherever and whenever they want without an internet connection.
This application can be installed on a cellphone with a minimum android type of Lolypop.
It is different if they have to carry a book that requires a larger storage space.
So, it is less effective if they have to carry a book everywhere.
Besides having advantages.
AL Ae TENS app also has some disadvantages.
