Abstract

This research was conducted because there is a possibility to introduce online newspaper to the students to improve their ability in grammar mastery due to the rapidity of technology development. Online newspaper and grammar were chosen because online newspaper contains grammar which was written straightly correct because it will be read by all of people. The problem of this research is how effective the use of online newspaper in the learning of grammar is, and the purpose of this research is to find out whether it is effective or not. The subject of this research is eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 8 Batang. They were chosen because I had been experienced in teach them and know their grammar mastery is still low. The research design is quasi-experimental design, with post-test pre-test experimental and control group. The result of this research shows that the gain of experimental group score is not as high as control group. So, it can be concluded that using online newspaper in the learning of grammar is not effective because the score gain of experimental group is lower than control group. It was caused by the level of vocabularies used in online newspaper is not common in students’ daily language and they have different interests in topic of the online newspaper’s passage.

Abstract

Differences between Indonesian and English language makes students often feel difficult in learning English especially in terms of grammar. Those difficulties tend to lead students to make errors in building English sentences. However, errors are actually natural because they are regarded as developmental stage to gain English competence, and errors are result from the students’ efforts to find ways of solving their problems. Those ways are called interlanguage. This study aims to find out the grammatical errors that students make in writing recount text and the interlanguage processes happen in it. The collecting data was done through writing recount text task to get kinds of errors data made by the students, and interview for getting interlanguage data happen to the students. The analysis steps started from identifying the errors, categorizing them into four categorizations of errors, and triangulating the errors with other supporting data. It reveals that students tend to make the errors omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering. The interlanguage processes happened are systematicity, permeability, fossilization consisting of language transfer, transfer of training, strategy of second language learning, and overgeneralization.

This study concerns with the use of snakes and ladders game as a medium to improve students’ mastery of simple past tense in constructing recount texts. The purposes of this study are to show whether snakes and ladders game gives contribution to improve the students’ mastery of simple past tense in constructing recount texts and to find out whether snakes and ladders game gives the significant difference or not. Quasi-experimental research was used. The population of this study was the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Demak. The experimental group consisted of 30 students and the control group also consisted of 30 students. There were four meetings during the experiment. Before the experiment was conducted, a pre-test was given to both groups. A post-test was given after the experiment was done. To find out the significant difference statistically, t-test formula was used. Before applying the formula, the data were checked by using normality and homogeneity. The result shows that the data have normal distribution and homogeneity. The result of t-test is 3.41, for α = 5% with df = 58, t-table = 2.002. It means that the t-value is higher than the t-table (3.41 > 2.002). The purposes of this study are achieved because the students’ mastery of simple past tense in constructing recount texts improve. Then, the t-value of the post test is higher than the t-table; it means that the use of snakes and ladders gives the significant difference. In fact, based on this study the use of snakes and ladders game is effective and applicable enough as a teaching medium to be used in improving the students’ mastery of simple past tense in constructing recount texts.

Abstract

This study was conducted under the consideration of the observation in SMPN 39 Semarang that many students faced problems in learning to write a text. This research is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using clustering technique and peer assessment in teaching writing recount text compared to three-phase technique and the students’ perception of the lesson. A quasi-experimental was used as the research design in this study. The subjects were the eighth graders of SMPN 39 Semarang in the academic year of 2016/2017 with 60 students as the samples. The control group (VIIIC) was treated using three-phase technique and teacher assessment, while the experimental group (VIII D) was taught using clustering technique and peer assessment. The findings revealed that the use of clustering technique and peer assessment significantly improved the students’ achievement in writing recount text. It was proven by the result of t-test in which the t-value (4.31) was higher than t-table (2.00). In addition, based on the result of the questionnaire, 90% of the students agreed that the use of clustering technique and peer assessment improved the students’ writing achievement. All in all, the use of clustering technique and peer assessment is more effective for teaching writing recount text to junior high school students than three-phase technique and teacher assessment. Moreover, most of the students have a positive perception to the lesson.

The aim was to describe the implementation of Think-Pair-Share in teaching reading comprehension by English teachers, reveal the difficulties faced by English teachers in teaching reading comprehension using Think-Pair-Share technique, and explain how the English teachers solve their problem in teaching reading comprehension using Think-Pair-Share technique. In this study, I used qualitative method. The participants of this research were all of the English teachers in SMK N 1 Randudongkal in the academic year of 2016/2017. In this research, I used questionnaire, interview, classroom observation and document analysis as data collection methods. The result revealed that the implementation of Think-Pair-Share in teaching reading comprehension was quiet different for each teacher such as including all language skills, using game as variation, or implementing Think-Pair-Share with no variation. This study showed that there were two main problems faced by the English teachers: the lack of preparation and students’ limited vocabulary. In conclusion, Think-Pair-Share was an interesting and helpful technique that helped English teachers in the teaching and learning process. Besides, it helped students to be actively engaged in the classroom activity.
