| dc.description.abstract | This research design was a quasi experimental research. The purpose of this
research was to measure whether or not there was a significant effect of using
Cartoon Video on the Eight Year Students’ Listening Comprehension Achievement at
SMPN 1 Rowokangkung Lumajang. The area of this research was SMPN 1
Rowokangkung Lumajang. It was chosen purposively because the use of Cartoon
Video had never been applied in teaching learning process of English in this school.
Permission was granted by the Principal of SMPN 1 Rowokangkung Lumajang to
conduct the research at this school and the English teacher agreed to conduct the
present experimental research.
The population of this research is the eight year students of SMPN 1
Rowokangkung in the 2011/ 2012 academic year. To know the homogeneity of the
population, the result of UAS 2011/2012 academic year was analyzed statistically
using ANOVA formula and the result showed that F-computation (0.002) was lower
than that of F-table (2.37). It means that the condition of the whole eight year
students of SMPN 1 Rowokangkung Lumajang was heterogeneous or there was
significant difference mean of the five existing classes. Two classes from the
population that had the closest mean differences were chosen. The lottery was done to
determine the experimental group (VIIIA) and the control group (VIIID). The total
number of the sample was 51 students that consisted of 25 students of VIIIA as the
experimental group that was taught by using cartoon video, and 26 students of VIIID
as the control group that was taught by using the audio.
The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ scores of
Listening test. The supporting data were gained from interview and documentation.
The students’ listening achievement was measured through the post test to make
comparison of the main score between the two groups after the treatment was done,
and the result was analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis
indicated that the value of t-computation was 2.52 while the t-table was 2.02 with the
degree of freedom 49 on the 5% significant level. It means that the value of tcomputation
was higher than that of the value of t-table. This means that the null
hypothesis (H
):” there is no significant effect of using cartoon video on the eight
year students’ listening comprehension achievement at SMPN 1 Rowokangkung
Lumajang” was rejected. On the other hand, the alternate hypothesis (H
0
):“there is a
significant effect of using cartoon video on the eight year students’ listening
comprehension achievement at SMPN 1 Rowokangkung Lumajang” was accepted.
Based on the result of the analysis of this research, the English teacher is
advised to also apply cartoon video, especially in teaching English Listening to vary
the media used in teaching listening skill. Further, the students are suggested to
actively involve themselves in the teaching and learning process. To the future
researchers it is hoped that the result of this research can be used as a consideration
by other researchers to conduct further research on different language skills and
component, in different research area or research design to improve the students’
listening comprehension achievement. | en_US |
