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.

The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of the use of alphabet cards game as interesting tool to explain vocabularies and it make it easier to remember their meanings. This study belongs to the quasi experimental research and presents pre-test, post test and to investigate the effect of using alphabet cards game on vocabulary mastery of commercial business administration students. The participants were the students from commercial business administration students at the third semester (N=54) of State Polytechnic Bengkalis and divided into two groups. Both groups were taught vocabulary, however, the experimental group students who are exposed to alphabet cards game and the controlled group students who received conventional method. Pre-test and post-test were given to both experimental group students and controlled group students. The score of the vocabulary tests were compared through independent sample t-test. The mean value of pre-test of experimental class was 61.35, while the control class was 52.23. After learning using alphabet card games in experimental class the mean value obtained in post-test was 78.85, while in control class was 59.04.  The improved of learning outcomes can be seen from the level of significance was 0.000 and it was lower than t test 0.000<0.05.  It means that the hypothesis null is not accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the score of the students in learning vocabulary between the experimental group and control group was significantly different. The experimental group students who learned vocabulary using alphabet cards game had increased their vocabulary mastery.

Writing is a complex activity that requires the automation of graphomotor skills. Unfortunately, 10 to 30% of primary school students have difficulty at this level, which impairs the development of writing skills. It therefore seems judicious to intervene in kindergarten to support motor precision as well as visuomotor capacities, considered as prerequisites for writing by many researchers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motor training on visuomotor integration, motor precision and handwriting performance (speed and readability) in 5-year-old children. According to a quasi-experimental design (pretest, post-test with control group), 34 children participated in an intervention in subgroups, twice a week for 6 weeks. The mean and standard deviation were calculated for each of the tasks performed. Statistical tests (t test) were then carried out. The results show that the children in the experimental group improved their motor precision as well as their graphomotor skills compared to those in the control group. This project provides new insights into the benefits of working on basic skills in preparation for learning to write and will equip teachers on how to guide and support graphomotor skills before entering first grade.
