1. The calculation started by stating the hypothesis and setting the alpha
level at 0.05 two tailed test H
= there is no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in experimental group
2. The second step is finding the t value
3. And the last step is done by comparing the probability with the level of
significance for testing the hypothesis. If the probability is more than or equal to the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted; the two
groups are equivalent. While, if the probability is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected; there is significant difference
between pretest and posttest scores in experimental group.
3.5.9 Data Analysis on the Posttest
In calculating the posttest data, the researcher used the same steps as in calculating the pretest data. The researcher used t-test formula, Case II studies or
independent sample test.
3.5.10 Data Analysis on the Experimental and the Control Group Scores
In analyzing the data, the researcher analyzed the pretest and posttest scores of experimental and control group using the matched t-test to investigate whether
or not the difference of the pretest and posttest means of each groups is significant. In doing so, the steps are as follows:
1. The first step is stating the hypothesis and setting the alpha level at 0.05 two tailed test

H = there is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores
2. The second step is finding the t value 3. The last step is comparing the probability with the level of significance
for testing the hypothesis. If the probability is smaller than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted; there is no significant
difference between pretest and posttest scores. While, if the value of probability is larger than or equal to the level of significance 0.05, then the
null hypothesis is rejected; there is a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. The calculations were analyzed by SPSS 20 for
window. The scores of pre- and post-tests for the experimental group were also being
analyzed to find out the level of listening comprehension mastery before and after learning song strategy or before and after treatment. Computing the average of
each test was necessary to find out the mastery of listening comprehension. In doing so, the average scores of each test were calculated, so the mastery of each
test will be known. The formula to compute average is as follows:
Where: Mx
= average x before treatment

∑x = the sum of x scores pretest
N = the number subjects
And
Where: My
= average y after treatment ∑y
= the sum of y scores posttest N
= the number subjects
After finding the average of each test, then the next step is interpreting what it means. The interpretation of the average lead us to knowing to what extent
the mastery of listening comprehension before and after treatment will be. In line with this, Arikunto 1999 classifies the range of scores with its probable class
performance. The classification is as the following:

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusion of what has been investigated in this research and the suggestion for further research. The conclusions part provide an
interpretation of conducted research results, while suggestions provide some ideas addresed to English teacher and further research relating to the use of songs in
English teaching and learning process especially listening.
5.1 Conclusions
Difficulties of some English teacher in teaching listening encourage the researcher to conduct this research. This research was applied to second grade
students in one of public Junior High Scool at Sumedang. It is aimed at finding out whether or not songs could significantly improve the students’ listening
comprehension. Moreover, the difficulties faced by the students in listening comprehension using songs are also discussed.
After conducting series of procedures in this research, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis of this research is rejected which means the use of songs
can make likely significant difference in improving the students’ listening ability 6.542 2.021, α = 0.05, df = 58. The result is obtained through comparing the
means scores of experimental group and control group which were 67.27 and 50 paired sample t test using SPSS 20. Hence, it can be concluded that the use of
songs is likely to be significant in improving the students’ listening
comprehension.The following elaborations are expected to give explanation
