THE USE OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN WRITING RECOUNT PARAGRAPHS AT THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS OF MTs
ISLAMIYAH PALANGKA RAYA ABSTRACT
The principle purpose of the study was to find out significant difference of the students’ English writing scores between those who taught using authentic materials and who taught using non-authentic materials of VIII grade students of MTs Islamiyah of Palangka Raya.
In this study, the writer used quantitative research type with comparative design to answer the problem of the study. The population of this study consisted of VIII grade students of MTs Islamiyah Palangka Raya with the total number of students were 62 students. The sample was determined using cluster sampling and also recommended by the English teacher at the school. To get the data of the study, the writer used two methods; they are test and documentation. The form of the test, the writer used written test, where the students were asked to complete a recount text using suitable words that provided, then the writer corrected and analyzed.
After getting the data, the writer analyzed the data used t – test. The main finding of the study showed that tobserved was -12.969. Then, it was consulted with ttable (tt) which db or df = (N1 + N2 ) – 2 was (22 + 22) – 2 = 42. Significant standard 5% ttable (tt) = 2.02 and significant standard 1% ttable (tt) = 2.71. So, 2.02 < 12.969 > 2.71. It can be said that since the value of tobserved (-12.969) was higher than ttable in the 5% (2.02) and 1% (2.71) level of significance, it could be interpreted that there is a significant difference between who taught using authentic materials and who taught using non-authentic material of eighth grade students of MTs Islamiyah of Palangka Raya
Key words: cluster sampling, recount.
PALANGKA RAYA ABSTRAK
Tujuan dasar dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan yang signifikan pada nilai-nilai siswa menulis bahasa Inggris antara siapa yang diajarkan menggunakan materi asli dan siapa yang diajarkan menggunakan materi tidak asli pada siswa kelas VIII MTs Islamiyah Palangka Raya.
Pada penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian perbandingan untuk menjawab permasalahan penelitian tersebut. Populasi pada penelitian ini terdiri atas siswa kelas VIII MTs Islamiyah Palangka Raya dengan jumlah sebanyak 62 siswa. Sampel yang ditentukan menggunakan cluster sampling dan berdasarkan rekomendasi dari guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah tersebut. Untuk mendapatkan data, penulis menggunakan dua metode yaitu; test dan dokumentasi. Bentuk tes yang digunakan adalah tes tertulis, dimana siswa diminta untuk melengkapi teks recount rumpang menggunakan kata-kata yang sesuai yang sudah tersedia, kemudian penulis mengoreksi dan menganalisa hasil tes tersebut.
Setelah mendapatkan data, penulis menganalisa data menggunakan t – test. Temuan utama dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tobserved adalah -12.969 yang db atau df = (N1 + N2 ) – 2 adalah (22 + 22) – 2 = 42. Standar Signifikasi 5% ttable (tt) = 2.02 dan Standar Signifikasi 1% ttable (tt) = 2.71. Jadi, 2.02 < 12.969 > 2.71. Ini dapat dikatakan nilai tobserved (-12.969) adalah lebih besar dari pada ttable 5% (2.02) dan 1% (2.71) tingkat signifikasi, ini dapat diterangkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara siapa yang diajarkan menggunakan materi asli dan siapa yang diajarkan menggunakan materi tidak asli pada siswa kelas VIII MTs Islamiyah Palangka Raya.
