Abstract

The research aimed to find out the effect of Herringbone Technique on students’ reading comprehension at grade eight of SMP Negeri 7 Pematangsiantar. There are also several main theories used to support this research, namely; Brassel and Rasinski (2008), Cahyono et. al. (2011), Deegan (2006), Pang et. al. (2003), Patel and Jain (2008), Richards and Renandya (2002), Sweet and Snow (2003). This research was designed as a quantitative method with quasi-experimental research design. Eight students’of 4 and 5 were selected as the participants. The experimental class was treated using Herringbone Technique while the control class was not treated using Herringbone Technique. The data were obtained through pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The pre-test was held to know the students’ basic ability or score before treatment was given. Meanwhile, the post test was held to know the students’ achievement and significant effect after the students’ were taught using Herringbone Technique. The data shows that the difference or the improvement as the whole students’ got in post test from control to experimental group is 345 or 11,5 point in average. The score of t-test (7,17) is higher than t-table (1,67) at the level of significance 5% for two tailed test, so Alternative Hypothesis is accepted and Null Hypothesis is rejected. Finally, by knowing the result, it is better if English teachers apply Herringbone Technique to improve the students’ achievement on reading comprehension.

Abstract

This research aimed to assess the impact of dictation techniques on the ability of students in class VII to write descriptive texts at SMP Negeri 7 Pematangsiantar. The theoretical framework was based on the work of Macon, Bewell, and Vogt. A quantitative research methodology was employed for this study. The population consisted of class VII students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematangsiantar during the 2024/2025 academic year. The researcher selected two classes as samples: VII-1 served as the experimental group with 32 students, while VII-2 acted as the control group, also comprising 32 students. The experimental group received instruction using the dictation technique, whereas the control group continued with conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests administered to both groups. The average score for the experimental group in the pre-test was 67.46, while the control group had an average score of 68.125. Conversely, the average score for the experimental group in the post-test rose to 84.31, compared to 82.15 for the control group. To gather data, the researcher utilized tests as instruments. The t-test result of 3.00 exceeded the t-table value at a significance level of 5% (1.670). The significance value indicated that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. This finding suggests that the dictation technique significantly influenced the writing abilities of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematangsiantar in composing descriptive texts.
