Abstract

This study set out to find out if grade 8 students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu could talk more fluently after using the Talking Stick Technique. This is a quantitative research study that evaluates the growth of students' speaking abilities using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-and post-test. The Talking Stick Technique significantly improved the students' speaking abilities, according to the results. The gathered data was statistically analyzed to identify any noteworthy variations between the experimental and control groups. According to the results, the experimental group's mean post-test score (60.26) was greater than that of the control group (47.70). Furthermore, the analysis of hypotheses showed that the T-test Table (2.262 1.676). This demonstrates that the study's hypothesis was verified. In conclusion, eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu can improve their ability to speak by using the Talking Stick technique.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of choral and repeated reading strategies in improving the reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 20 Sigi. Using a quasi-experimental design, 46 students were selected through cluster random sampling and divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through multiple-choice and essay tests administered before and after the intervention. The experimental group’s mean pretest score was 45.96, increasing to 81.35 post-test, while the control group’s mean rose from 50.30 to 76.04. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement, supported by a two-tailed significance value of 0.000 and a correlation coefficient of 0.696. These findings confirm that choral and repeated reading strategies positively impact students' reading comprehension.
