Using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), the result showed a significant difference in the level of grammatical competence of the students when grouped by section. Furthermore, when the variables were tested using regression analysis, the independent variable which was the utilization of language websites had significant influence to the dependent variable which was the grammatical competence.
