CHAPTER IV
DATA FINDING AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the general description of the study, the detailed results, the discussion of the study, and also the advantages and disadvantages of using
authentic song lyrics and pictures in teaching narrative text.
4.1 General Description
After conducting the research, the writer will describe pre test, treatment, and post test activities in this part.
4.1.1 Pre Test
Before experiment was conducted, the students in both of groups were given pre test. The test that was used in the pre test was writing test. Pre test is
aimed to know the prior knowledge of students in writing narrative text. The pre test of control group was conducted on 19
th
November 2013 and pre test of experimental group was conducted on 20
th
November 2013. Every student of both of groups was asked to write a narrative text based on the topic given. The topic
of the narrative text was love. The students were given free hand to choose one of the familiar stories and wrote it by their own words or use their imagination to
create a new narrative text. In the pre test, the students were given 50 minutes to write their narrative text. The students were not allowed to look up the book or
any kinds of source to write narrative text See Appendix 10. However, the students were allowed to ask to the teacher or look up the dictionaries to find
difficult words. After conducting pre test, the writer began to score the students’ pre test in order to know the prior knowledge of the students in writing narrative
text. He used analytic scale for rating composition tasks by Brown as guidance to score students’ writing narrative test See Appendix 11. There were five
components to be scored in this test; they were organization, logical development of ideas content, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics, and style and
quality of expression. The maximum score for each component is 20. As a result, the total score is 100.
4.1.2 Treatment
After conducting pre test, the writer gave treatments for both groups. In the experimental group was given treatment by using “authentic song lyric” as
media and the control group was given treatment by using “pictures”. Treatments for experimental group were conducted on 21
st
November 2013 and 27
th
November 2013. On the other hand, treatments for control group were conducted on 21
st
November 2013 and 26
th
November 2013. There were two kinds of lesson plans that the writer prepared for conducting this research. The first lesson plan
was addressed to the control group See Appendix 9. Meanwhile, another lesson plan was addressed to the experimental group See Appendix 8. Both of lesson
plans were almost the same, but the difference appeared in the activity within the lesson plans.
