H. Hypotheses Statistic
This research was designed to find out the influence of using information gap activities to the
students’ speaking skill, whether using information gap activities give more positive influence toward students’ speaking skill or not. To get the answer of
that hypothesis, the writer proposes alternative hypothesis H
a
and null hypothesis H
o
as the following:
H
a
: there is significance difference toward students’ speaking skill between those who taught speaking by using information gap activities and conventional technique.
H
o
: there is no significance difference toward students’ speaking skill between those who taught speaking by using information gap activities and conventional technique.
To prove the hypotheses, the data was gained from the students’ test are calculated by using t-test formula with the assumption as follows:
1. If t
o
t
table
: the alternative hypothesis H
a
is accepted and the null hypothesis H
o
is rejected. It means that there is significant difference between the results after teaching speaking using information gap activities.
2. If t
o
t
table
: the alternative hypothesis H
a
is rejected and the null hypothesis H
o
is accepted. It means that there is no significant difference between the results after teaching speaking using information gap activities.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS
A. Data Description
In the previous chapter, to collect the data the writer used a test which is given to the samples of the research. The test was oral test form. The students were asked to
work in pair to make a dialogue, comprehend and present the dialogue in front of the class.
Those are who also included as the samples of this research were taken by purposive sampling technique. Thus, the writer took 40 students in Senior High
School Darussalam Ciputat. The samples consisted of twenty students as the
experimental class form XI IPS 3 and twenty students as the controlled class from XI IPS 4.
The experimental class and the controlled class were taught with different technique in teaching speaking. The experimental class was taught using the
information gap activities, whereas the controlled class used conventional technique. In the experimental class, the writer asked every student in that class to share about
her or his information that they have gotten. They must share it to their friends who did not get the information. Then, the oral test score of each group can be seen in the
tables for data analysis as follow:
1. Experimental Class
In the experimental class the writer gave the test. The results of the test as follow:
