 Abstract

The objectives of this study were to design a morphophonemic parser (MPP) and to get feedback from teachers and students after using the designed parser. Drastic changes have occurred in the field of education after the advancement of technology. New methods and techniques with digital content are widely used in this field. One of them is the use of parsers in educational institutions. Parser is a tool that helps to facilitate teaching and learning. The MPP is a parser that can be used in the teaching and learning process. The study used a mixed mode of research which includes qualitative and quantitative research methods. 400 school teachers and students were selected as informants for this study using a simple random sampling method. The study used a questionnaire as a data collection tool and analyzed using the survey analysis method. The main findings of the study are, that an MPP is designed with a set of morphophonemic rules and most of the teachers and students are satisfied and excited to use the designed MPP in their teaching and learning. The results show that 87% of the teachers and students strongly agree that they are satisfied and 64.5% of them said that the parser helps them to learn easily. These results suggest the use of MPPs in educational institutions.
