1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Humans need a language to communicate each other. Along with language, human can express the thing to be conveyed and receive well the things put forward. Language is not only as communication, but also as unifying nation.

Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. Emerson (1876) as cited in Fromkin (2011, p. 430) states that “Language has built by every human‟s contribution”. So that, it is the

responsibility by each people to have an ability on language.

Harmer (2011, p.1) states that “Although English is not the

language with the largest number of native or „first language‟ speaker, it

has become a lingua franca. A lingua franca can be defined as language is

different from each other‟s and where one or both speakers whose native

languages are different from each other‟s and where one or both speakers

are using it as a „second‟ language.” English will become a priority

language in the future. Even, it has just become lingua franca. But, that is

not change anything because finally people use English as unifying

language.

Learning English is very needed for every people in this era.

(16)

“English is a number of future possibilities, all of which question the

certainty of English as the number one of the world.” As Graddol says, at

the internet and the World Wide Web, Graddol try to remind people that

most of the communication in the internet use English language. It is

clearly enough that English will be common language in the several

aspects such as: economics, geographies, trades, arts, socials, cultures,

educations, etc. People need English language to make transactions even

just a communication. Moreover, as the students, they have to an ability

and capability in English. At least, students can understanding English a

pieces.

Harmer (1989, p.16) states that “English has four languages skills.

They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Speaking and writing

include language production, they are productive skills. On the other hand,

listening and reading involve accepting the message, so they are as

receptive skills.” Students have to learn all of the skills above because

government had been arranged the curriculum of English lesson. But, not

all of them are capable in those skills.

One of those skills above is reading skill. According to Elizabeth

(2013, p. 6-7) “Reading is one of the parts of daily activities. People read

many kinds material of written, such as read message, newspaper, book,

magazine, novels, advertisement, and so on. From reading people can get a

lot of information, knowledge, solution, entertain, and so on. To get all the

(17)

3

reading actually is the part of daily activity. Without reading, people

cannot understand something around them.

Students also can start to understand English from reading

comprehension. By reading comprehension, students can understand the

idea or the meaning of the text. As Scanlon et al (2010, p. 276) explained

that “Comprehension is an active, constructive process in which the

ultimate understanding of the content is determined by combination of

what is stated directly in the text and the readers‟ knowledge related to the

topic of the text.”

In the fact, several students did not like reading. As the case in the

SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru, some students did not like reading because

feel lazy and too tired to read. Even, the other did not know about the

meaning of vocabularies. That made the students does not find anything in

the text. Moreover, SMA Kartika III-1 is one of military school that

prepared them to be an Indonesian National Armed Forces for students

wants to be.

From the explanation above, the teacher has to find some methods

and equipment that suitable with this condition. To solve the problem in

reading comprehension, the writer proposes to use pictogram to improve

students‟ reading comprehension. Pictogram should be applied in teaching

reading to make the students interested in the text. They also will be ready

than before. Therefore, they will have high motivation in learning English

(18)

Otsubo (1988, p. 536) explains that “Pictogram is a stylized

figurative drawing that is used to convey information of an analogical or

figurative nature directly to indicate an object or to express an idea.”

Another definition by Noble and Bestley (2003, p. 119) states that

“Pictograms as visual communication design are meant to be easily

understood and modernist design movements such as „De Stijl,

Constructivism, and the Bauhaus endeavored to celebrate functionalism

and rationality under the maxim that „form follows function”. Pictogram

has a simple shape but full of meaning. By pictogram, students can express

their idea widely.

Many people who are mentally retarded learn to read simple

“cementing-words” as they read. If pictogram is supplemented with a

number of such words, the text becomes linguistically correct. Falck

(2001, p. 34) suggest “With new functions in “Write with Pictures”,

pictogram inspires those who are mentally retarded to enjoy some exciting

reading.

By the explanation above, the writer tries to solve those problems

by doing classroom action research there. The writer conducts the study

entitled “Improving the Students Reading Comprehension by Using

Pictogram (A Classroom Action Research of the students of X IPA-2 in

(19)

5 B. Problems of the Study

Based on the background of the study, there are some problems of the study are as follows:

1. How is the implementation of Pictogram to improve the students‟ reading comprehension of the students of X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 in the academic year of 20III-17/20III-18?

2. How far is the improvement of the students‟ reading comprehension of the students of X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 in the academic year of 2017/2018 after being taught by using pictogram?

C. Objectives of the Study

According to the problems above, the objectives of the study are as follows:

1. To describe the implementation of using Pictogram to improve the students‟ reading comprehension of the students of X IPA-2 of SMA

Kartika III-1 in the academic year of 2017/2018.

2. To identify how far the improvement of the students‟ reading comprehension of the students of X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 in the academic year of 2017/2018 after being taught by using pictogram. D. Significances of the study

This study is expected to be used theoretically and practically: 1. Theoretically

(20)

6

it can be used by other writer as a reference for those who want to conduct a study in English teaching and learning process.

2. Practically

The result of this study is expected to be useful for the students, English teachers, and institution:

a. Students

The finding of this study can motivate the students in order to involve them in learning process actively. Another finding is hoped to improve their reading comprehension especially by using pictogram.

b. English teachers

The finding of this study can be a new knowledge for the English teachers in teaching reading comprehension. The writer hopes the teachers know the importance of Pictogram to improve the students‟ reading comprehension. The teachers can improve

their capability through many ways to develop the new methods of language learning to increase the knowledge about reading comprehension.

c. Institution

(21)

7 E. Limitation of the Study

In this study, the writer only focuses on the use of pictogram to improve reading comprehension. The aspects of reading comprehension are the completeness of answer, understandable contain, and clear information.

F. Definition of The Key Terms

To avoid misinterpretation and make easy to understand the title of this study, the writer clarify and explain the terms used in this study as follows:

1. Pictogram

“Pictogram is a stylized figurative drawing that is used to convey

information of an analogical or figurative nature directly to indicate an object or to express an idea” (Otsubo , 1998, p.536)

2. Reading Comprehension

Arthur (2007, p. 5-6) states that “Reading is exceptionally performance one of considers the number of levels and component that be mastered. Comprehension is an active process in arrange of meaning. Reading comprehension is a cognitive action that is contextual condition. With the purpose of improve aspect of comprehension.”

LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Review of Previous Studies

In this study, the writer takes three previous studies from previous researches. Firstly, a graduating paper by Tugiyarti (2016) with the topic: improving students reading comprehension by using Lectora Inspire. This research is aimed to improve the students‟ reading comprehension through Lectora Inspire. Tugiyarti gave the treatment by using Lectora Inspire to the students by two cycle, cyle I and cycle II. Each cycle was containing pre-test and post-test. The result showed that students reading comprehension improves significantly. The T-calculation result showed that T-calculation of cycle I is 4, 87 and T-calculation of cycle II is 9, 69.

definitely a way to reach a larger audience, while at the same time altering gameplay enough to be exciting, but not changing the fundamental feeling of console gaming that has been recognized and loved since the 1980‟s.

The last is a dissertation by Scott (201opics 0). Scott use PicTopics (an educational tool presented as a set of card and each card has different pictograph or pictogram) the objectives of this research to find PicTopics could trigger and cultivated storytelling, enable engagement between people and opened communication channels between the educator and students. The writer used pictures of objects and people interpreted in a graphic style that the writer saw every day to facilitate creativity and story-telling, made perfect sense. So that, the writer made his own PicTopics to encourage the reader to use the PicTopics in any way that would be of benefit to learning process. The result were the PicTopics could be used as way to encourage a creative approach to teaching and learning and the cards could play a transformational role. It was demonstrated by the stories documented at the artSpace Gallery, and by the storied performances of the DUT drama students.

(25)

11

B. Educational Technology and Other Teaching Equipment

Harmer (2011, p. 134) said that a language teachers used a variety of teaching language to understand the meaning or the construction, made the students feel interested in the whole activity. Some of that variety could be helpful both for practical and for motivational reasons, such as: 1. Pictures and images

Students were already familiar with some pictures in their daily activity. So that, the teachers could use picture or image to use in the teaching language. The picture or image could take from books, newspapers and magazines, or photographs. Picture also could be in the form of flashcards (a card that made the students easy to learn), large wall pictures (another picture with more big size), cue cards (a small cards that could be used by pairwork), photographs, or illustrations (typically in a textbook). Furthermore, images could be from slides or drawn by the teacher at the white board.

Another picture or image could be a pictogram. Because Fromkin (2011, p. 542) explained that “Pictograms are clearly „picture writing‟.

Unlike modern writing systems, each picture or pictogram is a direct image of the object it represents.” By pictogram, students actually

(26)

12 writing were the early drawings made by ancient humans, cave art, called petroglyphs, such as those found in the Altamira cave in northern Spain, created by humans living more than 20.000 years ago, can be „read‟ today” (Fromkin, 2011, p.542)

Meanwhile, people were not using pictogram at the time. They need a process to arrive in the pictogram era. Abdullah and Hubner (2006) as cited in Scott (2011, p. 62) said that the system of pictograms developed by Viennese educator and philosopher Otto Neurath (1882-1945) and illustrator Gerd Armtz (1900-1988) was developed as the International System of Typographic Picture Education (ISOTYPE).

According to Paramita (2011, p.2) “The first used of

(27)

13

that, pictogram was used for make the communication easier. Lupton (1989) as cited in Scott (2011, p. 63) stated that Neurath hoped to establish a “global standard for education and to unite

humanity through one ordered, universality readable language of vision. Furthermore, the use of pictogram was advanced by degrees.

2. Definition of Pictogram

There are many definitions of pictograms like Abdullah and Hubner (2006) as cited in Scott (2011, p. 63) said that pictogram is a pictorial representations, ISOTYPE, an iconic sign which represents complex facts through visual carriers of meaning. Pictograms are used to warn, guide, or protect and need to be immediately decipherable. According to Noble and Bestley, (2003, p.119) “Pictograms as visual communication design are meant to be easily understood and modernist design movements such as „De Stijl, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus endeavored to celebrate functionalism and rationality under the maxim that „form follows

function”. Although pictogram contained some complex meaning,

it has a simple shape until used in the daily activity. It means that pictogram was very easy to understand by the people.

(28)

14

From that explanation, it can conclude that pictograms are one of the ways to communicate each other by using picture or symbol which has a meaning.

3. Classification of pictograms

Pictogram has some classification that provided by Dreyfus as cited in Davies et al (1972, p. 6) Collect and reviewed twenty thousand graphic symbols and developed three categories, such as: representational, abstract, and arbitrary. But, this study just used representational and abstract.

a. Representational

Representational is a simple pictogram that contains of picture or symbol briefly. It was used to representation of the objects.

Figure 2.1 Representational Pictogram

(29)

15

elements to inform the message into graphic terms. Abstract showed a resemblance of activity.

Figure 2.2 Abstract Pictogram

Pictogram not only has a classification, but also content of a sign. Easterby and Hakiel (1977) as cited in Davies, et, al (1972, p. 6) described:

a. Descriptive

(30)

4. Advantages of Pictogram

Pictogram has some advantages in the daily activity according to Ismagilova. The writer use some advantages related to the study such as:

a. Pictograms are the more quickly and accurately interpreted than words. By using pictogram, students could translate the meaning to their own language. Because some of them did not understand every vocabulary they got.

b. Pictograms could improve understanding of warnings by visual or literacy difficulties.

c. Pictograms could compare by textual information to make the readers‟ understanding easily. In this study, the writer compared the text and pictogram to build the students‟ reading

(31)

17

5. Pictogram as an Aid in Reading

Many people who are mentally retarded learn to read simple “cementing-words” as they read. If pictogram is supplemented with a

number of such words, the texts becomes linguistically correct. Falck (2001: 34) suggested “With new functions in “Write with Pictures”, pictogram inspires those who are mentally retarded to enjoy some exciting reading”. It means that pictogram could compare by the

information text as an aid in reading. The writer applied this way in the treatment and post-test of cycle 2. The writer compared pictogram and narrative text.

Figure 2.7 Pictogram as an Aid in Reading

18

skills, listening, speaking, and writing. Specially, reading is a process of reconstructing from the printed pattern on the page, ideas, and information intended by author”. Even, reading became a part of daily

activity. So that, students has to be able to read anything around them. Harmer (2001, p. 68) explained “Reading is useful for other purpose too: any exposure to English (present the students understand it more or less) is a good thing for language pupils. Reading text also provides good models for writing, and the opportunities to study language: vocabulary, grammar, punctuations, the way make sentences, paragraph, and text”. The explanation means that reading was important in the several of sector.

“Reading is also a language and communication process, it means

(33)

19

window of the world. It is process to understand the text even the structure, the semantic, and the pragmatic of the sentences.

2. Purpose of Reading

Reading has several purpose according to Grabe (2009, p. 8-10). There are several purpose related with this study such as:

a. Reading for information

Students actually search information by reading. Sometimes students understand what they looking for but the other was not. b. Reading to learn

Another purpose of reading was to learn. Students read the text then answered the question. They try to remember the main ideas and pull down the information as needed.

c. Reading for general comprehension

Reading for general comprehension is the most general purpose for reading range from fluent readers, and it is the dereliction judgments for the term reading comprehension

d. Techniques of Reading

There was several technique of reading by Wright (1989, p.159). In this study, the writer use:

a. Intensive reading

(34)

20 E. Reading Comprehension

1. Definition of Reading Comprehension

“Reading comprehension involves abilities to recognize words

rapidly and efficiently, develop, and use a very large introduction vocabulary, process sentence to build comprehension, use a row of strategic process and underlying cognitive skills, interpretation meaning in relation to background knowledge, and evaluate texts in line with the reader goals, and process texts fluently” (Grabe, 2009, p. 8). Reading comprehension was a series of process to make the readers understanding well. By reading comprehension, students not only get the information but also understand the text.

According to Scallon et al (2010, p. 276), “Comprehension is an active, constructive process in which the ultimate understanding of the content is determined by combination of what is stated directly in the text and the readers knowledge related to the topic of the text.” It means that comprehension was mastered all of the meaning even the topic outside related by the text.

(35)

21

understand the meaning of the larger idea. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that reading comprehension was a phase to build an understanding of idea that can express it by the readers‟ language and give some benefits for others.

2. Components of Reading Comprehension

Some of componets of reading comprehension by Davis as cited in Heilman et al (1961, p. 241) become five skills. The component used by the writer such as:

a. Recalling word meaning (vocabulary knowledge)

The writer was recalling word meaning in the treatment of cycle 1 and 2. Even, several question related to the material also used.

3. Levels of Comprehension

The readers may have different types or levels of thinking. Following to Heilman, Blair, and Rupley (1961, p. 246), there are three levels of comprehension. The writer used the levels of comprehension in this study such as:

a. Literal Comprehension

Literal comprehension is an understanding the ideas and information clearly whole in the passage. The abilities are following:

(36)

22

2) Recall of details directly stated and paraphrased in own words.

3) Considering of main idea explicitly stated.

4) Ability of ordering information presented in passage.

This study was focused in the literal comprehension. It was the based levels of comprehension because the ability of the students was appropriate with this level.

4. Factor Affecting Students on Reading Comprehension

The teachers have to understand the factors that influence comprehension. So that, Dallman, et al (1982, p. 25) stated that there were some factor affecting students on reading comprehension. But the factor influenced this study such as:

a. Difficulty of material

The students always thinking that the material gave by the teacher are difficult. That was why the students pessimistic to read the material

b. Intelligence

Some of intelligence among students was different. It made the ability of reading the text was different too.

c. Environment

Environment absolutely influenced the reading comprehension each students.

(37)

23

5. Strategies for Improving Comprehension Skills

Many strategies can be used effectively to develop comprehension skill. Some are important to build background, others useful for teaching the technical comprehension skills, and overcoming specific difficulties.

There are general principles of instruction which can be used as guides in implementing programs to develop the abilities which make up the specific skills of comprehension. Following to Kennedy (1984, p. 197-198), there are the strategies that could be used profitably in most classroom. But in this study, the writer used:

a. Providing practice in reading easy material

Practice is the best facility to development comprehension. Systematic exercise should involve reading materials that are within the experience and achievement formation of reader. The writer used practice in the easy material. According to the writer, pictogram was the practice and easy material to be applied in this study.

(38)

24 CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY

A. Location of the study

The writer conducted classroom action research in SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru. It is a military school. It is located on Jl. Raya Muncul KM 4 Banyubiru, Semarang. Now, the total number of students of SMA Kartika III-1 in academic years of 2017/2018 is 482 students from two majors: IPA and IPS. The headmaster of this school is Dra. Winarni.

B. Design of the Study

In this study, the writer used classroom action research. There were some definitions of action research from experts. According to Watt (2007, p.1) as cited in Paizaluddin and Emalinda (2014, p.8), “Action research is a process in which participants their own

educational practice systematically and carefully using the techniques of research.” Lodico, et al (2006, p.282) as cited in Wijaya (2016, p. 45) stated “Action research is research conducted by practitioners in

(39)

25

in the class. To implemented classroom action research, teacher and participant need to work together.

C. Subject of the Study

The study was applied for the students of second year of the students of X IPA-2. There were 32 students in total. Based on the writer‟s observation, this class has low score in English term,

especially in reading comprehension. The students have some difficulties to understand how to read and how the teacher used Bahasa to explain English lesson.

D. Schedule of the Study

The classroom action study was started from July 2017 and finished on September 2017. The schedule of study can be explained in the table below:

E. Techniques of Collecting Data

To carry out the study, the writer had several techniques of collecting the data. The techniques of collecting the data could be test, observation, interview, and documentation. In this study, the writer used test as the main method and observation to get the data.

1. Test

a. Pre-Test

Before conducting the cycle 1 and cycle 2, the writer give the pre-test for each cycle. The purpose tried to know the reading comprehension of the students before they got treatment in the cycle 1 and cycle 2. The students needed to answer the question based the text. The writer observed the pre-test to get data analysis.

b. Post-Test

(41)

27

students‟ reading comprehension after they were given

treatments.

2. Observation

According to Kothari (as cited in Wijaya, 2016, p. 48) has argue that “The observation method is the most commonly used

method especially in studies relating to behavioral sciences.” Therefore, in this study, the writer observed the study using observational checklist. The writer collaborate the study with the observer. There two kinds of observational checklist. Those were observational checklist for the teacher and students.

3. Interview

The writer used interview method to know the problems and the issues happening in the class. Before conducting classroom action research, the writer interviewed the students as well as the teacher to look for the problems.

4. Documentation

(42)

28

F. Cycles of Classroom Action Research

According to Kusuma and Dwigatama (as cited in Tugiyarti 2016, p. 37) , “Classroom Action Research is research that doing by teacher in their classroom with the method planning, implementation, and reflection the action in a collaborative and participative with the purpose to repair their work as a teacher, so can improve the student achievement in learning.”

The writer organized the research in two cycles, cycles 1 and cycles 2 have similar steps. There were four steps in every cycle:

1. Planning

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

A. Findings

1. Implementation of using pictogram to improve the reading comprehension of the students X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru

In this chapter, the writer would like to analyze the data from the action study activities. The data was obtained from teaching learning process and evaluation. The data analysis was function to measure improving the students‟ reading comprehension by

“Pictogram”.

In this study, the data consisted of the field note, result of pre-test and post-pre-test. There were two cycles in this study, cycle I and cycle II. For the whole stages of each cycle is explained in the description below:

a. Cycle 1

1) Planning

(51)

37

sheets of the lesson plan and syllabus. The writer also discussed the lesson plan with the teacher to improve the quality, validated the lesson plan and the syllabus with the teacher, prepared observation sheet to observe the teacher and the students activities, prepared camera for documentation, prepared the students attendance list as well as the students scoring list.

The writer used “The Four Season” text and the pictogram. The teacher would assess the students from the completeness, understandable, very clear, and include many details at the answer. The range of the score was 0-10 each number. The text used in the pre-test was descriptive text of “Huntington Beach California”. Meanwhile, the text used in the

post-test was “Safari Park” and “Taj Mahal” descriptive text.

2) Implementation of the action

The cycle 1 started from 23, 28, 30 July 2017. This cycle divided into three parts. The first parts, the writer conducted test on 23 July 2017. The text used in the pre-test was “Huntington Beach California”. The writer gave the

text and the question.

(52)

38

greeting the students, the teacher was not leading the students to pray because the lesson in the middle of the day, not in the morning. The teacher also was not checking the students‟ attendance list because already checked by previous teacher. Then, teacher was giving apperception referring the material by asking question and some students trying to answer it.

After that, the teacher was prepared and gave the material about pictogram by descriptive text. First, the teacher explained about descriptive text, generic structure, and the language features, and Wh question. Then, teacher discussed the descriptive text by using pictogram entitled “The Four

Season”. Teacher showed several pictograms as represented the

text and the students try to guess the number. After they discussed about the pictograms, teacher discussed the text and gave the question about descriptive text to the students as several groups.

(53)

39

In the end of meeting, teacher gave feedback related to the material and discussed it with the students. Meanwhile,

The writer observed the teacher as well as the students. The writer observed the teacher activities about how he applied the lesson plan and the student‟s activities were also observed. The data of observation were recorded in the field notes. There were so many aspects of the teacher activities which were observed by the writer such as checking students‟ readiness for

lesson before beginning the teaching and learning process, giving apperception referring the material, preparing and giving the materials, asking students to numbering the pictograms (Picture and picture method), giving opportunity for asking question, giving explanation of the materials, giving feedback after the lesson, and informing next material for next meeting.

There were also so many aspects of the students‟

(54)

40

the puzzled situation from the teacher and writing on their books, summarizing and discussing what they have learnt then interpreting picture given by teacher, associating what they have learnt (include vocabularies, generic structure, language features) with a complete description text by teacher, and doing worksheet given by teacher by group. For more complete data about the field notes in the cycle 1, the writer had already attached it in in the appendix.

4) Reflection

The teacher along with the writer reflected the lesson plan and the action. The students‟ score and the field notes

were used to make proper reflection. The passing grade (KKM) for English subject is 75 but the students‟ scores of the post-test

show that there only 54% of the students who get score higher than KKM. In the pre-test, the students‟ scores show that there are 9,4% or less than 10% of the students who get score higher than KKM. It means that although there is an improvement, the writer and the teacher have to conduct the next cycle because there must be at least 75% of the students who get score higher than KKM.

After analyzing the students‟ score, the students‟

(55)

41

writer found that there was improvement on general understanding as well as accuracy in the students‟ answers of

the post-test but the teacher and the writer also got reflection that the students who got score lower than 75 in the post test were still confused in answering questions. They did not understand well about how to answer completely, the meaning of the question, and lack of vocabularies. Students also not had given yet a guiding very well. That was why their answers in the post-test were not complete or not detail.

The teacher along with the writer produced reflection. The teacher had to add additional activities in lesson plan to overcome those problems. The first additional activity was explaining to the students how to answer completely. The teacher also had to give explanation to the students about the meaning of the questions which were contained in the post-test. The second activity was discussing some vocabulary related the materials. For next cycle, the teacher along with the writer had changed the method.

b. Cycle 2

1) Planning

(56)

42

prepared the pre-test and the post-test for the cycle 2 based on the indicators of the lesson plan, prepared validation sheets of the lesson plan and the syllabus. The researcher also discussed the lesson plan with the teacher to improve its quality, validated the lesson plan and the syllabus with the teacher, revised the observation sheet to observe the teacher and the students‟ activities, prepared camera for documentation,

prepared the students attendance list as well as the students scoring list.

The teacher and the writer changed the new text and the new method for the cycle 2. The text is narrative text entitled “The Gingerbread man”. In this cycle, the teacher used reading

method. Then, the teacher had chosen the students to read the text one by one. In that text, students try to read and understand pictogram very well.

2) Implementation of the Action

(57)

43

faced by the students in the post-test of the cycle 1. They could not answer the questions completely.

The action in the cycle 2 was implemented on 27th 2017. After checked students‟ readiness for lesson and started the meeting before the lesson, leading the students to pray together, checked students‟ attendance, and gave apperception referring the material. The students also shared their experience related with the material.

After that, the teacher prepared and gave the materials by power point presentation (PPT) and sound system. Then, the teacher asked students to reading the text randomly, in the middle of discussing the text, the teacher played the audio related the text in order to make the students can hear the pronunciation clearly.

The next activity gave opportunity to the students for asked question. Some students feel interested to ask the meaning of pictogram in the text. Then the teacher gave explanation related to the question. After that, the teacher gave some question related to the text and guides the students‟

activity.

(58)

44

lesson but the teacher also informed next material for the next meeting. The last, the teacher dismissed the class by praying together.

3) Observation

The writer observed the teacher as well as the students. The writer observed the teacher activities about how he applied the revised lesson plan and the students‟ activities

(59)

45

There were also many aspects of the students‟

activities which were observed by the writer such as answered the greetings, prayed together, shared their experience concerning material. The students also guessed the answer of the puzzled situation from teacher and write on their books. After that, they identify the vocabularies individually then one student presents what he/ she have found. After that, they also read the text given by the teacher, associated what they have learnt (include vocabularies, generic structure, and language features) with a complete description text given by teacher, guessed the meaning of pictogram in the text, do worksheet by group, and recapped main point of the lesson.

4) Reflection

The teacher along with the writer reflected the revised lesson plan and the action of the cycle 2. The students‟ score and the field notes were used to make proper reflection. The passing grade (KKM) for English subject is 75. The students‟ scores in the post-test of the cycle 2 showed that there are 86 % of the students who get score higher than KKM. The students‟

(60)

46

the students who get score higher than KKM. It means that, after reflection from the cycle 1 was applied in the acting of the cycle 2, the students‟ scores improve as many as 45% in the post-test of the cycle 2. The teacher and the writer stop the cycle because 86% of the students have already passed the passing grade

2. Improvement of the students’ reading comprehension by using

pictogram.

The teacher and the writer gave score to the students based on the rubric of reading comprehension. Each answer of a question was given point. The highest point was 10 point and the lowest point was 0 point. The writer and the teacher processed those scores mathematically and statistically to ensure whether the use of pictogram to improve the students‟ reading comprehension or not.

Those score are presented as follows:

CHAPTER V

CLOSURE

A. Conclusion

1. Implementation of using pictogram to improve students’ reading comprehension at the X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru.

After conducted this research, the writer conclude that the implementation of using pictogram to improve the students‟ reading comprehension at the X IPA-2 SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru was successful. Using pictogram can improve the students‟ reading

comprehension. It can be seen from their scores of the pre-test and the post-test. In the cycle 1, the writer and the teacher got reflection that some students did not understand about Wh question and how to answer it, they also did not well understand about the meaning of each question in the test. They had lack vocabularies to answer the questions. They also did not understand yet the meaning of pictogram. After those reflections were applied in the acting of the cycle 2.The improvement of the students‟ reading comprehension become much

better.

(80)

66

passing grade (KKM) improvement much better because it was helped by the reflection from the cycle 1.

2. Improvement of the students’ reading comprehension after being

taught by using pictogram.

After analyzing the students‟ score in each cycle, the writer

concludes that there was significant improvement of the students‟ reading comprehension after taught by using pictogram.

In the cycle 1, the mean of the pre-test is 65, 46 and the mean of the post-test is 75, 93. The number of the students who pass the passing grade (KKM) in the pre-test is 9,5%. In the post-test 54% of the students successfully pass the passing grade. The mean of post-test is higher than the mean of the pre-post-test. It means that there is significant improvement. In this research, the writer uses the significant level as many 5%. The value of T-table is 2,039. After calculating the students‟ score, the writer finds that the value of T-test

(81)

67 After calculating the students‟ score, the writer finds that the value of

T-test is 5, 4 the value of T-test is higher than T-table. Moreover, the writer finds that the value of the T-test in the cycle 2 is higher than the value of T-test in the cycle 1. Moreover, the writer concluded that using pictogram can improve the students‟ reading comprehension of the students of X IPA-2 of SMA Kartika III-1 Banyubiru. Finally, the writer stops the cycle because the numbers of the students who pass the passing grade are more than 75%.

B. Suggestions

Based on the classroom study result, the writer would be like to give some suggestions:

1. To the teacher

(82)

68

in the classroom. Moreover, using pictogram in teaching and learning process is very easy to be applied. Teachers can get pictogram easily in the books or internet.

2. To the student

The students can use pictogram to improve their reading comprehension. By using pictogram, readings feel interesting and more understanding. Students can understand the meaning although did now understand the vocabulary.

3. To the other writer

The writer suggests the other writer to conduct classroom action research about the use pictogram to improve students‟ reading comprehension. It can be in term of speaking
