CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. Findings
1. The interpretation of the Result of Students’ Achievements Test
This section deals with the presentation and the elaboration of data about pre-test and post-test, and the students’ improvement in listening comprehension before and after employing treatments. In addition, mean score of pre-test, post – test and standard deviation of pre-test and post-test as consideration in this research is also explored further. The detailed result are provided in the further data presentation.
a. Scoring Classification of Students’ pre-test
The presentation of data in this part was obtained through the listening test interpretation. It was analyzed in three stages : Scoring the students’ listening test, classifying the students score, and calculating the mean score. The students scores in pre-test are presented in the following table :

b. The mean score and standard deviation of students pre-test.
Before the treatment were performed, the writer was given pre-test to know the students’ prior knowledge. Furthermore, the purpose of the test was to find out whether the students at the same level or not.

Based on the pre-test and post-test data above, the researcher found that there was a significant increase after being given the treatment. in the pre-test, the total score was 1320, the mean score was 52.80 and the standard deviation was 14.439 whereas in the post-test, the total score was 2110 with a mean of 84.40 and a standard deviation of 16.970. the total score and mean post-test were higher than the pre-test.
e. Test of Significance (t-test)
After conducting the students’ pre-test and post-tests in pre- experimental, the writer used the t-test for hypothesis test. The t-test was to measure whether or
not there was a significant difference between the result of the students’ mean scores in the pre-test and post-test. By using inferential t-test analysis or a significance test run with SPSS Version 21.0, significance differences could be easier to analyzed.
In this research, the Null hypothesis (Ho) stated that the implementation of Spotify Application can’t enhance the students’ listening comprehension in English at nine grade of SMPN 35 Makassar in the academic year 2020/2021.
While the Alternative hypothesis (H1) stated that the implementation of Spotify Application can enhance the students’ listening comprehension in English at nine grade of SMPN 35 Makassar in the academic year 2020/2021. If the value of significance 2 or sig. (2-tailed) lower than 0.05, H1 accepted and Ho rejected.

The result of t-test stated that Sig. (2-tailed) was 0,0 0. The result provided that the Sig. (2-tailed) table was lower than level of significance. So, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It means that the Spotify Application can enhance students’ listening
