The  main aim of this research was to find out whether there is any significant difference between students’ writing ability on using block style method and students’ writing ability on using point by point method. The design of this research is a causal-comparative study that focusing on quantitative research. The subject of this research was level 2 students’ of language center UIN Suska Riau. The object of this research was comparing between using block style and point by point method on students’ writing ability. The sample was two classes; Experiment class (34 students) and compare class (34 students). The total sample was 78 students by using cluster sampling. The test and questionnaire  were used to collect the data and data was anlyzed by using compare means and t-test by using SPSS 20.0. the last finding of this research was found that there was a signifficant difference on students’ writing ability between using block style and point by point method. It shown on comparing the mean score. Block style method was 60.7353 and point by point method was 78.3824. And the hyphothesis testing was show the result of post T-test 11.823, then score of sig.(2-tailed) is 0.000. if we act to null hypothesis (Ho) that is 0.05, it  means that the score of sig.(2-tailed) was smaller than score of Ho. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It  means that there is a significant difference between The Use of  Block Style Method and Point by Point Method  on The Students’ Writing Ability at Language Center of UIN Suska Riau.

There is a need to know why students feel so nervous and lack of confidence when speaking. There may be a relationship between their metacognitive strategy and their self-efficacy in speaking skill. This research aimed at improving students’ translation mastery by hypnoteaching implementation. Hypnoteaching stands for two words- hypnosis and teaching. Majid defines hypnosis as a condition like a sleep called trance due to the reduction of brain wave from beta to alpha or theta. In this condition, the client’s conscious mind is opened and the hypnotist can give suggestions directly to the subconscious mind. This research was a quantitative research classified into a true experimental design. In this research, the instrument that used was multiple choice consist of 10 items. The researcher used t-test formula to find out whether there was a significant difference between the both classes after being treated. Based on the findings on the discussion, the researcher concluded that the implementation of Hypnoteaching method effectively improves the second year students’ translation ability at SMA Negeri 6 Padangsidimpuan, Bone. It could be proven by looking at the comparison between the T-test value and T-table value. The T-test value is 5.957 and with 1% of significance level and 38 degree of freedom, T-table value is 2.712 because the T-test value is higher than T-table, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. That significant improvement could be observed in the students’ motivation while the learning process runs.Keywords: translation mastery, hypnoteaching

Final Calculation

The aim of this research is to find a significant difference between teaching vocabulary using TPR method and teaching vocabulary using conventional method and prove the influences of both. The research was conducted in the form of quasi experiment. The researcher did the experiment using these two classes as a comparison. To analyze the data the writer used statistical calculation of the t-test to determine the final calculation of to (t- observation) that was done to measure the last score of the research test. In analyzing the data, the writer uses the comparative and the influences techniques. This techniques is to prove statistically whether any significant differences and influences between two variables. The processed and analyzed data through the following steps: describing the result of the test of each class, determining interval, mean, modus, median, deviation standard, variance of each class and the last is proving of t-test. The result of the statistic calculation indicated that t-observation (t0) is higher than t-table (tt), 5.82>2.462, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. And based on the comparison result, it was found that zh = 4.64, Z0.05 = 1.645, Z0.01= 2.462, it concludes that 2.462 < 4.64 > 1.645, So Ho rejected if t0 > tα/2. According to the explanation above, we can interpret that teaching vocabulary using Total Physical Response is quite success. It can be proved by the data of students’ score of experiment class is higher than controlled class.

This study focuses on Think-Talk-Write Strategy in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. The objectives of this study are (1) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (2) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught without using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (3) to find out whether or not there was a significant difference of writing ability between the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught with Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy and without Think-Talk-Write (TTW). The research was Quasi-Experimental research. The subject of the study was the tenth grade students of MAN Demak. Cluster sampling is used in taking the sample. 40 students from class X-5 were selected as the experiment group and 40 students from class X-1 as the control group. The t-test was used to analyze the data. Experiment research was used here to get the data. The pre-test was given to the students on both of groups. After that, the difference treatment was given in experimental group. At the end of the research, the post-test was given to both of groups. The count of the mean score of the experimental class was 79.95 and the count of mean score of the control class was 76.17. It shows that teaching descriptive text by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy gave better result as indicated significant statistical t-test computation, that the t-table value (t5% = 2.03 and t1% = 2.80) is less than t0 = 13.09 (2.03<13.09>2.80). It could be seen that there is a significant difference in writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak after being taught using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy. The researcher offers some suggestions in this research. The school should give good facilities and many strategies for teaching and learning process. For the teacher, the teacher should give variation teaching especially using new techniques and strategies in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. For the students, the students have to do more active, confident and creative.
