Abstract

The effectiveness of using the snowball throwing method to teach descriptive texts in order to improve reading comprehension in ninth-grade students at SMPN 6 Tolitoli is discussed in this study. This study focuses on how well children can read descriptive literature. This study aims to determine whether the snowball throwing method in teaching reading comprehension to third-grade children at SMPN 6 Tolitoli is effective. The participants in this study were ninth-grade students at SMPN 6 Tolitoli. This study is an experimental study. This study was conducted in one class. The snowball throwing method was used to teach descriptive texts to the experimental class, and pre- and post-tests with research instruments were used to collect data. The pre- and post-tests were normally distributed and had the same variance based on the findings of the normality test study. The paired sample t-test is another formula used to examine the data. This was done to see if there was a difference in the overall average score of the experimental class. Statistics show that the average pre-test score of the experimental group was 41.45. The average post-test score of the experimental class was 77.35. A significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 × 0.05 was achieved using paired-sample T. There is a difference between the mean scores of the post-test and pre-test because Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. In conclusion, the Snowball Throwing technique effectively teaches descriptive texts in reading comprehension to ninth-grade students in the 2023/2024 academic year.

The sample of this research was class B students in 2 semesters at Madako University, and the data were obtained from interviews. The researcher took five students as a sample. The result of this research showed that students have difficulties in pronouncing the vocabulary. The students lack the self-confidence to pronounce the vocabulary because they fear producing it incorrectly. They feel too lazy to learn a new vocabulary, and the students have difficulties pronouncing the new words because the written and pronunciation are different. This research was conducted on students of the second semester class B in the English Department at Madako University, who have enough self-confidence in pronouncing the vocabulary because they are afraid to produce it incorrectly, they also feel lazy to learn new vocabulary because they did not know how to pronounce words correctly, and the written words and the pronunciation were totally different. Doing more practice and always being guided by the lecturer when practicing will help them solve their difficulties in mastering vocabulary.
