To find out the difference of students score in using songs in teaching the pronunciation the writer uses songs . After getting the data from the observation, pre-test and post-test, the writer uses a formula to find the mean or the average score, as follow 1 . to = ∑ x1 2 + ∑ y2 2 N 1 + N 2 N 1 + N 2 -2 N 1 . N 2 M 1 = Mean Score of Experiment Class M 2 = Mean Score of Control Class ∑x1 2 = Sum of Square Deviation Score in Experiment Class ∑x2 2 = Sum of Square Deviation Score in Control Class N 1 = Number of Students of Experiment Class N 2 = Number of Students of Control Class df = Degree of Freedom 1 Sudijono, Anas Drs., Pengantar statistic pendidikan, Jakarta : PT.
