CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS
In this chapter, I presented data analysis of the research that was conducted on March 30 until April 16, 2011. The total of the meetings for each
class were 4 meetings. The first meeting was pre-test. The second and third meetings were treatments. The last meeting was post-test.
4.1 Description of the Experiment
According to Kerlinger 1988:125, “analysis means the categorizing, ordering, manipulating and summarizing of data to obtain answers to research questions.
The purpose of the analysis is to find out whether the experiment is successful or not to answer the research problem. “
The pre-test was used to analyze the student’s achievement in speaking when think-pair-share was not applied yet. There was one question only
in the pre-test activity given to the students of experimental and control groups.
4.2 Experimental Treatment
After having the pre-test, the result showed that most students got difficulties in vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. Based on this situation, the treatments were
conducted into two meetings. Each meeting asked students to make description orally using think-pair-share strategy. The description consisted of describing

citytown and person. I also gave them list of vocabularies in order to enrich their vocabularies. In addition, grammar and pronunciation belong to the main points of
the treatment. I also gave treatment for control group but I used conventional method.
The procedure of giving treatment for the experimental and control groups can be seen in Table 4.1 as follows:
