Mariano Marcos State University. May 2021. EFFECTS OF ONLINE AUTOMATED GRAMMAR TUTOR ON STUDENTS' ACCURACY IN WRITING. Major Adviser: Ronald Candy S. Lasaten, Ph.D. 		Using the descriptive research design, this study determined the effects of online automated grammar tutor, Grammarly, on students' accuracy in writing.

Only those students whose first written outputs from the first quarter of Grade 10 English containing 200-250 words were the ones included in the study, 	The main tool used in gathering data was the modified rubric patterned after the rubric developed by Glasswell and Brown (2003). The said tool was used to measure the students' level of accuracy in writing before and after using the online automated grammar tutor. An interview guide was also used to gather data on the students' and the teachers' perceptions on the use of the online automate grammar tutor. The data were statistically analyzed using frequency, percentage, standard deviation and mean. T-test was used to determine the significant difference of the variables.

However, after using the online automated grammar tutor, the students' writing accuracy level falls under very proficient level along with contextual spelling and punctuation. While the other criteria remained on the proficient level, there still an observed increase along with grammar, sentence structure, and style. 	Results also revealed that there is a significant difference on the students' level of writing accuracy before and after using the online automated grammar tutor.
