ix ABSTRACT
Ulya, Himmatul. 2012. The Listening Ability of the Eighth Grade Students of MTs
NU Mu’allimat Kudus in Academic Year 2011/2012 Taught by Using
Dictation Technique. Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher
Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (i) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M. Pd., (ii) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd
Key words: Dictation Technique, Listening Ability
Listening is the process of understanding speech in a first or second language. The purpose of listening is to get the information from the sound streaming into the sense of hearing. Listening skill is one of the basic skills and the important skill than the other skill. But, in fact many people or students
especially the eighth grade students in MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus have
difficulties when they get listening material. From this fact, the teacher must have creative technique to improve listening skill. One of the technique is dictation technique.
The objectives of the research are as follows: (1) to find out the listening ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 before being taught by using dictation technique. (2) to find out the listening ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 after being taught by using dictation technique. (3) to find out whether or not there is a significant difference between the listening ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using dictation technique.
The design of of this research is an experimental research using test instrument. This experiment uses one group pre test and post test design, because it is done in one group only without control group. This experiment is applied to
the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus to explore the result of
their listening ability before and after being taught by using dictation technique. In this research, the writer gives the students a pre test and the implementation of teaching listening by using dictation technique and the last stage given to them is a post test. The sample are the students of VIII A.
The result of this research indicates that using dictation technique in teaching listening is effective to improve the listening ability of the students. It can be seen from the pre test and post test result. The pre test result of the mean is 76 and standard deviation is 7.681. So, the result of the listening ability before being taught by using dictation technique of the eight grade students of MTs NU
Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 is sufficient. Meanwhile, on the
post test result the mean is 83.875 and standard deviation is 8.507. So, the result of the listening ability after being taught by using dictation technique of the eighth
grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 is
x
Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using dictation technique. The result of t0 (12.27) is higher than t-table (2.021). Therefore, it can be said that the Null Hypothesis is rejected, while the alternative hypothesis of the research is confirmed.
xi ABSTRAKSI
Ulya, Himmatul. 2012. Kemampuan Mendengarkan oleh siswa kelas delapan
MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012 Diajarkan
menggunakan Teknik Dictation. Skripsi. Program Studi Bahasa Inggris
Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing:(1) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M. Pd,. (ii) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M. Pd Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Mendengarkan, Teknik Dictation.
Mendengarkan adalah proses memahami pembicaraan/pidato dalam bahasa pertama atau bahasa kedua. Tujuan mendengarkan adalah untuk mendapatkan informasi dari suara yang masuk ke indra pendengaran. Kemampuan mendengarkan adalah salah satu kemampuan dasar dan kemampuan yang terpenting dari pada kemampuan yang lain. Tapi, kenyataanya banyak orang atau siswa-siswa terutama siswa-siswa kelas delapan di sekolah MTs NU
Mu’allimat Kudus, mereka masih mempunyai kesulitan ketika mereka
mendapatkan materi tentang mendengarkan. Dari kenyataan ini, guru harus mempunyai teknik yang kreatif yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan mendengarkan. Salah satu tekniknya adalah dictation (mendekte).
Tujuan dari penelitian ini meliputi: (1) untuk menemukan kemampuan
mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran
2011/2012 sebelum diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation. (2) untuk menemukan kemampuan mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation. (3) untuk menemukan ada atau tidaknya perbedaan antara kemampuan
mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran
2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation.
Rancangan penelitian ini adalah penelitian experimen dengan menggunakan instrumen tes. Penelitian experimen ini, menggunakan satu kelompok pre test dan post test, karena penelitan dilakukan hanya dalam satu kelompok tanpa kelompok pembanding. Penelitian ini diterapkan untuk siswa
kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus untuk mencari hasil kemampuan
mendengarkan mereka sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan teknik dictation. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis memberikan pre test kepada siswa, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pelaksanaan pengajaran mendengarkan menggunakan teknik dictation dan langkah yang terakhir memberikan post tes pada siswa. Sempel yang digunakan adalah siswa kelas VIII A.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunujukan bahwa menggunakan teknik dictation dlam pengajaran mendengarkan lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mendengarkan pada siswa-siswa. Hal ini dpat dilihat dari hasil pre test dan post test. Hasil pre test, nilai rata-rata (mean) = 76 dan stantar deviasi = 7.681. Jadi, hasil dari kemampuan mendengarkan sebelum diajarkan
menggunakan teknik dictation pada siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat
xii
test, nilai rata-rata (mean) = 83.875 dan standar deviasi = 8.507. Jadi, hasil dari kemampuan mendengarkan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation pada
siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 adah
sangat baik. Hipotesis pada tingkat signifikan 0.05 (5%) = 2.021 dan tingkat kebebasan (N-1) = 39, menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan antara kemampuan
mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran
2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajrkan menggunakan teknik dictation. Hasil to (12.27) lebih tinggi dari t-tabel (2.021). Oleh karena itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa null hipotesis ditolak, sementara alternatif hipotesis diterima.
