And then, the criteria used as follows: 1. If t-test t
o
t-table t
t
, null hypothesis H
o
is rejected. It means that the rates of mean scores of the experimental class are higher than the controlled class.
The using of Storyboard technique is effective on students‟ reading comprehension of narrative text.
2. If t-test t
o
t-table t
t
, the null hypothesis H
o
is accepted. It means that the rates of mean scores of the experimental class are lower or same as the
controlled class. The using of Storyboard technique is not effective on students‟ reading comprehension of narrative text.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING AND INTERPRETATION
A. Research Finding
1. Data Description
The data were collected from the students’ scores of pre-test and post-test in both experimental class and controlled class. The data were described into three
tables. Table 4.1 shows the students’ pre-test scores, Table 4.2 shows the students’
post-test scores, and Table 4.3 shows the students’ gained scores.

70.03 The Table 4.1 shows
the students’ pre-test scores in both experimental class and controlled class. There are 32 students on each class. The pre-test was given
to the students before they got any treatments. According to the Table 4.1 above, it can be seen that the lowest score in the experimental class was 38 and the
lowest score in the controlled class was 28. However, the highest score in both experimental class and in the controlled class was same, that was 93. The mean
score of pre-test in the controlled class was higher than the mean of pre-test in the experimental class. The mean of pre-test in the controlled class was 70.03 and the
mean of pre-test score in the experimental class was 65.22.
