| dc.description.abstract | The design used in this research was experimental research. The purpose
of conducting this research was to know whether or not there is a significant effect
of using Jazz Chants on the eleventh grade students’ pronunciation achievement at
SMA Plus Darul Hikmah Jember in the 2016/2017 academic year. The researcher
used Jazz Chants because the researcher believed that it could give effect to XI
IPS 1 students’ pronunciation achievement during the teaching and learning
process.
In this research, the researcher used Jazz Chants as media for teaching
pronunciation. Jazz Chants is a kind of songs that provide stress, rhythm, and
intonation of a natural spoken language. Besides, the researcher believe that Jazz
Chants could help the students to pronounce and to memorize vowel sounds (ɪ, iː,
uː, ə, æ), consonant sounds (s, ʃ, θ, tʃ, dʒ), and diphthong sounds (eɪ, ɛə, aɪ, ʊə, ɔɪ.
aʊ, ɪə, əʊ) in the English words.
This research was conducted on 5 August up to 20 august 2016. The result
of homogeneity test showed that the respondents were homogenous. That is why,
the researcher used lottery to decide the experimental group (XI IPS 1) and the
control group (XI IPS 2). The researcher gave the treatment, that was, using Jazz
Chants in teaching pronunciation to the experimental group. On the other hand,
there was no media used for the control group. The researcher taught those groups
in two meetings.
After the teaching and learning process, the researcher conducted a try-out
test to the other class that was not the experimental and the control. The researcher
gave 55 items in the form of isolated words for each student. The result of the tryout
test
showed
that
there
were
50 items
considered
as
sufficient
and
5
as
difficult.
Therefore,
the researcher omitted the 5 items and used the 50 items to be the
materials for the posttest for both the experimental and the control groups. The result of the posttest showed that the significant value on the t-test
was 0.000 and it was less then 0.05. It indicated that the result of t-test analysis
was significant. So it proved that there was a significant mean difference between
the experimental group and control group. In general, the result of the research
showed that the students in the experimental group got better scores in
pronunciation achievement than those in the control group. It happened because
the students in the experimental group were taught by using Jazz Chants. Thus, it
could be concluded that there was a significant effect of using Jazz Chants on the
eleventh grade students’ pronunciation achievement at SMA Plus Darul Hikmah
Jember in the 2016/2017 academic year. | en_US |
