CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
This chapter dealt with the conclusion drawn from the study that had been conducted and some suggestions related to the study and English language
teaching in the future.
5.1 Conclusion
The first question of this study is whether ALM improves st udents‟ accuracy in
pronouncing or not. Based on the results of data interpretation on the previous chapter, I came to conclusions that the use of Audio-Lingual Method in teaching
pronunciation imp roves the students‟ accuracy in pronunciation. This method is
also more effective than the other method using songs and Fidel Charts as media. The data showed that the mean score of the students of experimental group who
were taught by using Audio Lingual Method is higher than the other control groups using Songs and Fidel Charts as the media. It could be proven by looking
from the students‟ pre-test and post-test score. The experimental group pre-test score is 67 and the post-test score of this group is 77. It means that the
experimental group‟s score improved by ten points. Meanwhile, the mean score of Songs group improved by two points from 65 to 67. The mean score of the other
control group using Fidel Charts as media improved by one point from 66 to 67. Based on the paired-sample T-test, we can see that the experimental
group‟s sig. 2-tailed score is 0.00. Because this score is less than 0.05, it means
90 that there is significant differences in the pre-test and post-test in experimental
group. The other group that is tested using paired sample T-test is Fidel Charts group. Fidel Charts group‟s sig. 2-tailed score is 0.264. This score is more than
0.05, it means there is no significant differences in pre-test and post-test in Fidel Charts group.
Meanwhile based on the Wilcoxon-Signed Rank Test, we can see that the control group using Songs as the media‟sz-score is -1.180 and the asymp. Sig. 2-
tailed is 0.238. This score implies that the differences got after the treatment using songs is not significant.
The second question of this study is how the students perceive the Audio Lingual Method. This question aims to know the students motivation in learning
pronunciation after treatments. The result of this study showed that the students‟ motivation in learning English after getting treatment using ALM is higher than
the students‟ motivation that are taught by using Songs and Fidel Charts as the media. The students‟ motivation score in Experimental Group is 3.14, 2.97 for
Songs group and 2.93 for Fidel Charts group. It implies that the use of Audio Lingual Method in teaching pronunciation is more interesting than the other
methods. The Kruskall-Wallis test done to the three groups showed that the asymp.
Sig2-tailed score is 0.017. This score is less than 0.05, and it means that there is significant differences in students‟ motivation after getting treatments.
In short, the use of Audio-Lingual Method in teaching pronunciation to Junior High School students is more effective and interesting compared to the
91 other methods. It is because learning English pronunciation by using drills in
Audio Lingual Method provides good environment for the students to make them get used to pronounce accurately.
