The Effect of Using Student Teams-Achievement Divisions
English structure, as one of the English components, is very important in
learning the English language. It is considered as the device for developing students’
communication ability both oral and written forms. A good understanding of English
structure will ease the English students to master the four English skills, namely
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Moreover, the students will make the
English listeners understand more easily what they say.
However, many English students still experience difficulties in applying
English structure in their communication. This is due to the fact that the students are
not familiar enough with the English structure, and that the students are lack of
motivation and practices to learn English structure. Thus, the English teachers need to
find a way to teach English structure which motivates the students and provides more
practices to apply English structure.
Student Teams-Achievement Divisions
This research was intended to know whether or not there was a significant
effect of using STAD technique on the eleventh grade students’ structure
achievement at MAN 1 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year. The research design

of this research was experimental design. The research area was MAN 1 Jember
which was purposively determined. The population of the research was all the
eleventh grade students of MAN 1 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year which
consisted of 11 classes. The homogeneity test about English structure was
administered to all of the eleven classes to know whether the research population was
homogeneous or not. Analyzed by using ANOVA, the result of the homogeneity test
indicated that the research population was not homogeneous. Therefore, two classes
having the closest mean difference were determi ned as the research respondents.
Based the output of ANOVA, the two classes having the closest mean score were

The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ posttest

The research results proved that there was a significant effect of using STAD
technique on the eleventh grade students’ structure achievement at MAN 1 Jember in
the 2012/2013 academic year. Therefore, it is suggested that the English teacher use
STAD technique as an alternative teaching technique to teach English structure,
mainly about passive voice.
