2. Documentation
The second instrument used to collect the data is documentation. The writer will ask about reading comprehension scores in ETIS test of
students of English Education Department in the Center for Language Development UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.
ETIS is English Test for Indonesian Students. ETIS is TOEFL like. ETIS is used to measure EF
L students’ English achievement, such as listening, reading and structure. The difference between ETIS and TOEFL
is ETIS used Indonesian context for the question items, especially in reading. ETIS is standardized test of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah students in
which the reliability and validity information had been examined.
E. Technique of Collecting Data
In collecting the data, the questionnaires and documentation are used. The first step is distributing adopted questionnaires to respondents which consist of
items that represent the three kind of learning styles; visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles from Joy M Reid in Understanding Learning Styles in
the Second Language Classroom. Then, transcribing the data from questionnaires to determine kind of learning styles of each respondent. Furthermore, the writer
conduct the second instrument by asking the Center for Language Development UIN Syarif Hidayatullah
Jakarta about students’ English Education Department scores of reading comprehension in ETIS test.
F. Technique of Data Analysis
After collecting the data, analyzing data was done. The first step of analyzing data was the writer classified the categorization of learning style from
the questionnaire. In this study, there were 15 items of questionnaire and 5 items for each group of learning styles. To determine students’ learning styles was to
sum all of the scores of questionnaire items from each categorization of learning styles. The highest score from three group learning styles was the major of
learning styles that students have. Then, the second step is, descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the further analyzing score of reading
comprehension. Descriptive statistics are the mean, which indicates the average performance of a group on a measure of variable, and standard deviation which
indicates the spread of a set of scores around mean-that is, whether the scores relatively close together and clustered around the mean or widely spread out
around the mean.

As also supported by Sugiyono, he asserted that descriptive statistic provided the data through table, graphic, diagram, pictogram, mean, median,
modus, decile, percentile, standard of deviation and percentage.

Furthermore, Emzir pointed that the statistical inferential was used to know the significance
differences among the groups, by using ANOVA Analysis of Variance formula to make comparison scores among variables.
9
Hence, the study is used the inferential statistic to describe the result of hypothesis testing and analysis of
variance ANOVA. Before analyzing the hypothesis, because of analysis of variance one way
ANOVA includes of parametric statistic, the normality and homogeneity test are needed to be conducted as the requirement for parametric testing.

Normality test was conducted to know whether or not the data has normal distribution. Then,
homogeneity test was conducted to assure that the data populations were
