| Abstract: The study investigated the effect of three strategies (i.e. explicit, implicit and conventional instructional strategies) on Private Colleges of Education students’ morphology competence in Osun State. The study also assessed the interaction effect of explicit, implicit and conventional instructional strategies on Private Colleges of Education students’ morphology competence based on gender in the study area. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental design with a 3x2 factorial matrix. The population consisted of approved Private Colleges of Education in Osun State. Simple random sampling was employed in selecting three Private Colleges of Education out of the approved ones. The sample size consisted of 115 students of 200 level of English in their intact classes in the three Colleges. The 200 level English students were assigned randomly to two experimental groups (Explicit and implicit instructional strategies) and one control group (conventional strategy). An instrument titled: Morphology Competence Test (MCT) was used to collect data for the study. Data collected were analysed using frequency, percentage, standard deviation, mean and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was significant effect of explicit and implicit instructional strategies on Colleges of Education students’ morphology competence in Osun State (F = 8.374; p < 0.05). Whereas, there was no significant interactive effect of the two instructional strategies and sex on Colleges of Education students’ morphology competence in the study area (F = 1.191; p > 0.05). The study concluded that explicit instructional strategy had a significant effect on Colleges of Education students’ competence in Morphology aspect of Structure of English in Osun State, Nigeria. |
