1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic

My research is conducted based on some reasons. First, I choose conditional sentences as the materials to be taught to the research. It is because they play an important role in grammar, and they are not easy to learn. Conditional sentences are quite complex to learn in both the formulas which are used and the meaning. Celce- Murcia and Larsen-Freeman 1999 say that the main difficulties lie in the following aspects are form, meaning, oversimplified explanations, and time-tense relationship. Moreover, according to Cowan 2008, one cause of E SLEFL students‟ difficulty in producing English conditional sentences is probably that some learners have difficulty which starts from a small number tenses used in conditionals in their L1 to the large number of tense sequence required for expressing specific conditional meanings in English. Moreover, conditional sentences cannot be separated from students‟ life. The students frequently use them in any expression related to everyday language. That is why conditional sentences are important for students‟ to learn. Second, teachers should find an attractive technique to teach conditional sentences. One of the techniques that the teacher can use in teaching conditional sentences is tea party technique. This tea party technique which creates a lot of movements will enable the students to be more active and energetic to learn. Furthermore, the students will work in heterogeneous groups because their partners will always change. As a result, students can share their mind with each other and help each other to learn. In this condition, the students will feel more relaxed, and they are expected to be able to receive the materials well. Therefore, I intend to know the effectiveness of tea party technique to teach conditional sentences.

1.3 Statement of the Problems

The problems which are going to be discussed in my research are as follows: 1 How is the achievement of the subjects in mastering conditional sentences? 2 What is the effect of the use of tea party technique to teach conditional sentences on the subjects?
