Syntex subject is one of the subjects that students of English Education Study Program should take it. Having online teaching in a pandemic situation is challenging for the instructor to build their students' comprehension of the concept of syntax, Structural Approach, and Syntactic Marker.

There were 35 students involved in this study.  This study was conducted in 14 meetings. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test. In data analysis, descriptive and Inferential statistics (t-test) were applied. The result of data analysis shows that students have a good comprehension of syntax. Computer-assisted instruction is effective in helping students to improve their syntax comprehension related to the concept of syntax, Structural Approach, and Syntactic Marker.
