After understanding the importance of grammar in learning English, it is needed to have learning media that can solve students' problems in class.

The purpose of this research is to find out how the movie segment can improve the grammar mastery of fourth-semester students. The use of authentic material in the classroom can create a pleasant atmosphere because it can reduce anxiety levels and provide examples of English applications in the real world. Movie Segment is one type of authentic material in the form of video clips that are used to teach grammar. It is also equipped with worksheets, exercises, and answer keys so that it can facilitate the teacher to use the appropriate material and create a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom. The research design used is Classroom Action Research. Meanwhile, The criterion for success in this study is 75% of students achieve 75 in learning Grammar (Simple Past tense). The results of this study indicate that the mean value on the pre-test was 65.2 and the average value of the post-test in cycle 1 increased to 72.8.
