Area Determination Method Respondents Determination Method

3. Analyzing the students’ speaking scores from the English teacher by using ANOVA formula to identify the homogeneity of the population. Since the output showed that the value of significance was 0.974 which was higher than 0.05, it indicated that the population was homogeneous. Then, there were two classes assigned as the experimental VIII A and the control VIII F groups by using lottery. 4. Giving the treatments to the experimental group by implementing media, that is, Board Games. Therefore, the experimental group was taught speaking by using Board Games meanwhile the control group was taught speaking without Board Games. 5. Administering a try-out to establish the validity and the reliability of the post-test made by the researcher and then analyzing the results. The try- out was administered to a class which did not belong to the experimental and control groups. This class was chosen by using lottery and the class was VIII G. 6. Administering the speaking post-test to both the experimental and the control groups. 7. Analyzing the results of the post-test by applying the Independent Sample t-test on SPSS with the significant level of 5 to find out the mean difference of both groups. Then, the result was consulted to t-table to know whether or not there was a significant effect of using Board Games on the eighth grade students’ speaking achievement in telling their experiences at SMP 4 Jember in the 20142015 academic year. 8. Making a conclusion from the result of the data analysis to answer the research problem.

3.2 Area Determination Method

The area determination of this research was determined by using purposive method. According to Arikunto 2006:127, purposive method is a method used based on certain purposes and reasons. There were two reasons of choosing SMPN 4 Jember. First, the English teacher had never taught speaking by applying Board Games for the eighth grade students in the language teaching and learning process. Second, the headmaster and the English teacher of the school had given permission to conduct an experimental research at SMPN 4 Jember.

3.3 Respondents Determination Method

Arikunto 2006:145 states that a respondent is a person who gives some responses or answers to the researcher’s questions in either spoken or written form. Respondents can be the samples of the population. The population of this research was the eighth grade students of SMPN 4 Jember in the 20142015 academic year. The eighth grades consisted of seven classes class A – class G. Before determining the respondents, the researcher did the homogeneity analysis using ANOVA to the population based on the speaking scores from the English teacher. Two of the seven classes were selected as the experimental and the control groups since the determination method used was cluster sampling. The result of ANOVA showed that the value of significance was 0.974 which was higher than 0.05 p0.05. The result implied that there was no significant difference in speaking achievement. Therefore, two classes were taken randomly as the experimental and the control groups by using lottery. As the result, VIII was assigned as the experimental group and VIII F as the control group. The experimental group was taught speaking by using media, that is, Board Games meanwhile the control group was taught speaking without any media, especially Board Games.
