Thus, the hypothesis about there is no significant different between students taught using treatments and without it was refused.
4.4 Difference of Average Scores
The experimental class and the control one were used to extent that British Council Animation as a media was more effective than the conventional one.
Considering the result of the test gained by two classes, we can see which class got better achievement.
The average of the control group on Pre-test
=
Mc = 1596 25
Mc = 63.84
The average of the control group on Post-test

72.92
The rise of the average scores: 72.92-63.84 = 9.08 For the control group, the average after the treatment increased is about 9.08
points. 48
The average of the experimental group on Pre-test
=
Me = 1551 25
Me =
62.04
The average of the experimental group on Post-test
=
Me = 2085 25
Me = 83.4 The rise of the average scores: 83.4- 62.04 = 21.36
For the experimental group, the average after the treatment increased 21.36 points. For the experimental group, the average between two classes, there is a
different achievement. The experimental class got better achievement because the average increased 21.36 points , whereas the control class only increased 9.08
points
4.5 Research Findings
The aim of the test was to know the students’ achievement in writing a narrative text after getting the treatment compared with those without treatment in eighth
grade students of SMPN 2 Kendal in academic year 2010 2011. The result of the 49
students’ writing skill in writing narrative text of the experimental group is higher than the result of the control group, the means are 82.74 for the experimental
group and 72.92 for the control group. The result indicates that the experimental group scored in post test is
