CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter will discuss the results of the research, the comparison between control group and experiment group and the analysis of research. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the research was conducted to 32 students at SD 1 Nanggulan, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. The researcher put the students into two groups, namely experimental group and control group. Then, the researcher made a treatment for experiment group and did not make treatment for control group. The researcher analyzed the data by comparing the result between pre test and post test for those two groups. The research was conducted through several steps as follows:

4.1 Pre Test

The researcher conducted the research on March 16th, 2013. The researcher opened the teaching learning activities by introducing himself. After that, the researcher asked the students to introduce themselves in English. After all of the students introduced themselves in English, the researcher knew that students’ pronunciation was weak and they mispronounced many words. They applied Javanese accent and their mother tounge in pronouncing English words. They often made sound substitutions and sound deletions when they pronounced English words. 30 The researcher put the class into two groups, namely experimental group and control group. Those two groups were listed as follows: Table 4.1 Groups of The Research No Experimental Group Control Group 1 At If 2 Al Jt 3 Wl Bu 4 An Mr 5 Ant Fk 6 Ar Nk 7 Lr Dn 8 Ba Na 9 Da Rg 10 Ni Sd 11 Dv Ft 12 Zf Tr 13 Fr Vi 14 Fa Am 15 Nd Yd 16 Sv Di After the researcher put the class into two groups, the researcher handed out the pre test paper to the students. There were two pieces of paper, the first paper contained the lyric of “Beautiful Day”, the other one contained the lyric of “Promise”. After all students got the paper, the researcher gave the examples of how to pronounce the words on the pre-test paper. After that, the researcher asked them to read aloud the words together. Then, the researcher asked all of the students one by one to come forward reading the first pre test paper which contained the lyric of “Beautiful Day”. The total words in the lyric were 82 words. The researcher recorded all of their voice 31 to analyze their pronunciation in pronouncing those words. In the pre test, the researcher obtained the result as follows: Table 4.2 Pre-Test Result of “Beautiful Day” Experimental Group No Experimental Group Mispronounced Words 1 At 14 2 Al 10 3 Wl 12 4 An 8 5 Ant 9 6 Ar 12 7 Lr 11 8 Ba 10 9 Da 8 10 Ni 7 11 Dv 10 12 Zf 9 13 Fr 11 14 Fa 10 15 Nd 8 16 Sv 9 Based on the experimental group’s result of the first pre test paper, most of the students were still confused to pronounce those words. They were not accustomed in pronouncing those words. Some of the students seemed hesitant in pronouncing the words. As the result they were lowering their voice. From the tabel above, the student who made the most mispronunciation was At. At mispronounced 14 words out of 82 words. Meanwhile, the student who made minimum mispronunciation was Ni. Ni mispronounced 7 words. Ni was quite confident in pronouncing the words. On the other hand, At was not really confident of what he said. Furthermore, some of words were influenced by Javanese accent. 32 The researcher also did the pre test for the control group. In the first pre test paper, the researcher obtained the result as follows : Table 4.3 Pre-Test Result of “Beautiful Day” Control Group No Control Group Mispronounced Words 1 If 10 2 Jt 9 3 Bu 11 4 Mr 12 5 Fk 11 6 Nk 8 7 Dn 8 8 Na 7 9 Rg 11 10 Sd 8 11 Ft 9 12 Tr 10 13 Vi 8 14 Am 10 15 Yd 8 16 Di 9 The students from the control group were confused with the words in the lyric. The condition was almost the same with the experimental group. They were confused to pronounce some words. From the tabel above, most of the students did more than 7 mispronunciation, except Na who only made 7 mispronunciation. Meanwhile, the student who made the most mispronunciation was Mr. In here, Mr mispronounced 12 words out of 82 words. After the researcher recorded the students’ voice in reading the first pre test paper, the researcher asked all of the students from both groups to come forward reading the second pre test paper which was the lyric of the “Promise”. 33 The total words in the lyric were 55 words. In the second pre test paper, the researcher obtained the result as follows : Table 4.4 Pre Test Result of “Promise” Experimental Group No Experimental Group Mispronounced Words 1 At 15 2 Al 11 3 Wl 10 4 An 16 5 Ant 13 6 Ar 12 7 Lr 11 8 Ba 10 9 Da 10 10 Ni 12 11 Dv 10 12 Zf 11 13 Fr 13 14 Fa 11 15 Nd 8 16 Sv 9 Based on the result of the second pre test paper, most of the students in experimental group did mispronunciation more than 8 words. Actually the total words in the second pre test paper was not as much as in the first pre test paper, but the students were not accustomed in pronouncing those words. Some words which considered as difficult words for the students to be pronounced were: pal, nice, faith, we’ll, fight, crossed, fingers, and leap. From the tabel above, the student who made the most mispronunciation was At. At mispronounced 15 words out of 55 words. On the other hand, the student who made minimum mispronunciation was Nd. Nd mispronounced 8 words. 34 The researcher also asked the control group to come forward and reading the second pre test paper. In the second pre test paper, the researcher obtained the result as follows : Table 4.5 Pre Test Result of “Promise” Control Group No. Control Group Mispronounced Words 1 If 10 2 Jt 13 3 Bu 11 4 Mr 12 5 Fk 11 6 Nk 9 7 Dn 7 8 Na 10 9 Rg 9 10 Sd 9 11 Ft 9 12 Tr 10 13 Vi 13 14 Am 10 15 Yd 13 16 Di 9 From the tabel above, it could be seen that the students in control group made some mispronunciation. Actually, the problem that made them did the mispronunciation in many words was the same with experimental group. Due to the lack of understanding the words, they were not confident to pronounce some words. There were three students who mispronounced 13 words, they were Jt, Vi, and Wd. Meanwhile, Dn only mispronounced 7 words out of 55 words. Other students in control group mispronounced more than 7 words and less than 13 words. 35 Based on the pre test result, all students of those two groups almost did the similar mistakes in pronouncing the words. The students were not accustomed to those words. Therefore, they were not confident enough to pronounce those words. As the result, they were lowering their voice. This result of pre test would be compared to the result of the post test.
