THE EFFECT OF USING SUMMARY TECHNIQUE ON THE ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT OF NARRATIVE TEXT AT SMAN 1 UMBULSARI JEMBER

Abstract

The results of this research were as follows: the total number of test takers of the experimental class was 33 students and the control class was 34 students. The mean score of reading comprehension test of the experimental class was 80,00 with standard deviation 5,00. Then, the mean score of reading comprehension test of the control class was 76.76 with standard deviation 4.58. In the t-test column showed that the value of sig (2-tailed) column was 0.007 and this value was lower than 0.05 (confidence interval 95%). Thus, it could be concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental class and the control class or there was a significant effect between those two classes. It means that the null hypothesis (H0) formulated: “there is no significant effect of summary technique on the eleventh grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMAN 1 Umbulsari, Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year” was rejected. On the contrary, the formulated alternative hypothesis: “there is significant effect of summary technique on the eleventh grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMAN 1 Umbulsari, Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year” was accepted.
