This research aimed to investigate whether or not there was a significant effect of the use of Duolingo on the writing competency of the tenth grade students of SMK N 1 Sukasada in academic year 2017/2018. This quasi-experimental research employed post-test only control group design. The population of this research was all the tenth grade students of SMK N 1 Sukasada. This research administered cluster random sampling to determine the sample. The independent sample t-test was administered to examine the equality of both groups and decided X AP1 became the experimental group and X AP2 as the control group. The treatment was given to both groups in which the experimental group treated by using Duolingo and the control group was treated by using conventional teaching media. At the end of the treatment, the post-test was administered to both groups and the result was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by applying independent sample t-test. Based on the result of the descriptive analysis, the students in experimental group could gain better score than the students in control group. Moreover, the result of inferential analysis shows that the result of the independent sample t-test which tobs was higher than tcv. The result of the questionnaire also shows that students like to use Duolingo in the classroom and it helps them in their writing. It means that the implementation of Duolingo contributes significant effect to students’ writing competency of the tenth grade students of SMK N 1 Sukasada in academic year 2017/2018.

The aim of this research is to know the effect of using Predict Observe Explain (POE) method toward students’ achievement in Physics. This is an experimental research by using experimental group and control group. The research design was Post-test Only Control Group Design. The population of this research was the students of class VII SMPN 1 Lembar academic year 2015/2016. The sampling technique was Cluster Random Sampling in which class VII 2 as the control group and class VII 3 as the experimental group. Both of the groups were given a pre-test before the treatment to know the homogeneity of the groups. The instrument used is an objective test in form of multiple choices. The finding showed that the mean of the posttest in experimental group was 70 and the control group was 60.67, in which both of them were distributed normal and homogeneous. The post-test result was analyzed by using t-test (t-test polled variants) in which the value of the was 2.473 and the  was 2.015 with dk=46 and the significant level was 5%. It showed that the was accepted and was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that Predict Observe Explain (POE) Method gave significant effect to the students’ achievement in Physics at Class VII SMPN 1 Lembar Academic year 2015/2016.

Writing process involves thinking and creative skills. To stimulate the students’ thoughts to express their ideas, clustering technique is effective brainstorming activity to help the students explore their ideas and write consistently. Thus, the objective of this study is to find out whether or not there is any significant difference between the students who were taught in writing descriptive paragraph through Clustering Technique and those who were not. The population of this study was all of the eighth grade students of SMP Srijaya Negara Palembang in academic year 2016/2017. There were three classes that consist of 113 students. The samples of this study were VIII C as a control group and VIII B as an experimental group. This study was conducted by using quasi experimental method with nonequivalent control group design. Then, the data were analyzed by using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The result of independent sample t-test shows that the value of sig. (2-tailed) was 0.00 < 0.05 in the level of significant 0.05. While, the value of t-obtained was 5.213 higher than the critical value of t-table was 1.665 with degree of freedom 76. It can be concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It means that there was any significant difference between the students who were taught in writing descriptive paragraph through Clustering Technique and those who were not.

The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of using CLL in teaching speaking at the first grade students of SMP N 18 Mataram in academic year 2014 / 2015. This is kind of quantitative research with quasi experimental method. The population of this research involved 67 students’ from the first grade in SMPN 18 Mataram. The reseacher took 44 students as a sample that divided into two groups, 22 students belong to the experimental group and 22 students belong to the control group. To find out the differences of x and y, the writer used pre- test and post- test to collect the data. The data collected was analized by t-test formula. Therefore, the writer gave different treatment to prove that CLL is better than conventional method. After the writer gave the treatment, it showed that the mean of post test of experimental group is higher than control group. After that, the result of mean score of Experimental and group is proved by the t-test and compared with t-table, so the result in t-test is 3,8 and t-table (0,05%) is 2,02 and (0,01 %) is 2,70. In addition, the result of the t-test is higher than t-table (3,8 > 2.02 > 2,70). This means that there is significant different between experimental and control group. From the explanation above, the writer concludes that Community Language Learning (CLL) was effective in teaching speaking for the first grade students of SMP N 18 Mataram in academic year of 2014/2015.
