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.

KEGUNAAN MATERI ASLI DALAM MENULIS PARAGRAPH

RECOUNT PADA SISWA KELAS DELAPAN (VIII) MTs ISLAMIYAH

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.

Kata kunci: cluster sampling, recount.
