The purpose of this research was to determine whether Improvisation Technique gave significant difference in teaching transactional and interpersonal conversation text toward students’ speaking ability. This research was also aimed to find out which components of students’ speaking were mostly improved after using Improvisation Technique. True experimental research was used where the sample was chosen by using cluster random sampling. The result of this research showed that the students had made some progresses. It showed that the mean score of students’ speaking ability in experimental class (79.50) was higher than the mean score of students’ speaking ability in control class (72.21). It means that teaching speaking by using Improvisation Technique gives significant effect towards students’ speaking ability. Based on the research finding, it can be concluded that using Improvisation Technique gave significant effect towards students’ speaking ability at class XI of Senior High School 12 Padang. Thus, it is recommended for English teacher should consider the use of Improvisation Technique as an alternative technique in teaching speaking for getting significant effect towards students’ speaking ability.

This study aims to find an alternative media to support Chemistry learning that is suitable for the material of Acids, Bases, and Salts for class VII SMP. The research was conducted from August to October 2021 at YWKA II Junior High School, East Jakarta. The research subjects were 36 students of class VII A and 36 students of class VII B. Sampling was done by using purposive sampling technique and cluster random sampling. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method, where the differences in student chemistry learning outcomes are seen between two supporting media, namely comics and learning CDs. The questions were tested first on students who had gotten the material on acids, bases, and salts before. The questions tested were 40 multiple choice questions and 31 valid questions were obtained. The research was conducted by giving lectures and supporting media to two classes. The indicators measured in this study were the pretest and posttest scores of the two class groups. Based on the results of the prerequisite test, the data obtained were normally distributed and homogeneous. After statistical testing using the T test at = 0.05, the value of tcount (1.54) is smaller than ttable (2.00). The calculation results show that the null hypothesis (H0) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected, which means that there is no significant difference between students who use comics supporting media and Learning CDs. From the results of the research, it is known that the supporting media for comics and learning CDs can both be used to improve chemistry learning outcomes for junior high school students. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari alternatif media pendukung pembelajaran Kimia yang sesuai untuk materi Asam, Basa, dan Garam kelas VII SMP. Penelitian dilakukan sejak bulan Agustus sampai Oktober 2021 di SMP YWKA II Jakarta Timur. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VII A sebanyak 36 siswa dan siswa kelas VII B sebanyak 36 siswa. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dan cluster random sampling. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode quasi eksperimen, dimana perbedaan hasil belajar kimia siswa dilihat antara dua media pendukung yaitu komik dan CD Pembelajaran. Soal diujicobakan terlebih dahulu kepada siswa yang telah mendapatkan materi asam, basa, dan garam sebelumnya. Soal yang diujicobkan sebanyak 40 soal pilihan ganda dan didapat soal yang valid sebanyak 31 soal. Penelitian dilakukan dengan memberikan ceramah dan media pendukung kepada dua kelas. Indikator yang diukur pada penelitian ini adalah nilai pretest dan posttest dari dua kelompok kelas. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian prasyarat, data yang diperoleh berdistribusi normal dan homogen. Setelah dilakukan pengujian secara statistik menggunakan uji T pada ? = 0.05, diperoleh harga thitung (1.54) lebih kecil dari ttabel (2.00). Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis nol (H0) diterima dan hipotesis alternatif (Ha) ditolak, yang berarti bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang menggunakan media pendukung komik dengan CD Pembelajaran. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa media pendukung komik dan CD pembelajaran sama-sama dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar kimia siswa SMP.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) approach developed based on the Collaborative Lesson Research (CLR) cycles can positively impact Year Four pupils’ proficiency in perimeter. Counterbalanced design was used with pre- and post-test in every CLR cycle. The participants involved were three groups of pupils totaling 115 pupils and a group of three teachers. The sampling used was cluster random sampling. A paired-samples t test was used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the pre- and post-test for each CLR cycle while a one-way ANOVA test was used to analyze if there is an increase in proficiency from the first, second and third CLR cycles. The results indicated that there was an increase in the mean post-test scores compared to the mean of pre-test scores and the mean difference between the first, second and third CLR cycles. In conclusion, the CLR cycle carried out helped teachers in developing better teaching plans based on the CPA approach as well as enhancing pupils’ proficiency in the perimeter.

This study is an attempt to discover the effect of applying Think-Talk-Write strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. The objective of this study were to find out whether applying Think-Talk-Write strategy affect the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. This study was an experimental research. In conducting the research, the writer used 60 students of Al-Fattah Senior High School Medan as the sample. The 60 students were taken from two classes and they were divided into two groups namely the experimental group who was taught by using Think-Talk-Write strategy and the control group who was taught without Think-Talk-Write strategy. The data of the test were collected by administering written test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis shows that the value of t-observed is higher than the value of t-table (2,3> 2,00 (α = 0.05)) with the degree of freedom (df) = N-2 = 58. It means that there is significant effect of applying Think-Talk-Write strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. So the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The conclusion is that applying Think-Talk-Write strategy can encourage and increase the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. Therefore, it is suggested that English teacher should try to apply this strategy.
