The purpose of this research was to know whether or not there was a
significant effect of using Roundtable Technique in Cooperative Language Learning
on Tense Achievement of the Eighth Year Students at SMPN 1 Jenggawah in the
2012/2013 Academic Year. The area of this research was SMPN 1 Jenggawah which
was chosen purposively because the English teacher had never applied Roundtable
Technique in teaching English, especially in teaching English tenses. The population
of the research was the eighth year students of SMPN 1 Jenggawah in the 2012/2013
academic year which consisted of eight classes
There were two kinds of data in this research; they were the supporting data
and the primary data. The supporting data were got from the interview to the English
teacher of SMPN 1 Jenggawah and from the documentation of the list and the names
of the respondents
In this research, pre-experimental with non equivalent posttest-only design
was applied. In the first step, the researcher gave the homogeneity test to the eighth
year students at SMPN 1 Jenggawah. After the results of the homogeneity test were
analyzed, the result was homogeneous, the researcher took the respondents as the
experimental and the control groups by lottery. After that, the experimental group
was taught the English tenses
The result of the analysis of t-test showed that the value of significant column
of Lavene’s test was 0.013. It was lower than 0.05. Consequently, the row that must be
