The Overall Result The Results of the Study

2. The Group Result based on the pattern

In this sub topic, the group result based on the pattern will be presented. However, before the presentation of the group result based on the pattern, it is good to see the answer table. Table 4.4. Answer Table Question number Semester 2 Semester 4 Semester 6 Correct Correct Correct 1 28 93.3 29 96.7 26 86.7 2 7 23.3 11 36.7 9 30 3 26 86.7 23 76.7 15 50 4 20 66.7 23 76.7 13 43.3 5 10 33.3 6 20 3 10 6 25 83.3 22 73.3 18 60 7 13 43.3 16 53.3 9 30 8 27 90 27 90 25 83.3 9 11 36.7 10 33.3 6 20 10 15 50 23 76.7 14 46.7 11 15 50 16 53.3 20 66.7 12 28 93.3 28 93.3 20 66.7 13 22 73.3 19 63.3 22 73.3 14 29 96.7 28 93.3 27 90 15 7 23.3 9 30 5 16.7 16 27 90 27 90 26 86.7 17 16 53.3 20 66.7 16 53.3 18 15 50 11 36.7 14 46.7 19 16 53.3 10 33.3 8 26.7 20 28 93.3 25 83.3 22 73.3 Table 4.4. shows the number of students out of 30 participants from each group who interpreted the Multiple-choice test the same as the answer key and its percentage for each question number. From table 4.4. it also can be seen that each question number has different pattern of development. It is very interesting to see the pattern of development in each number and to analyze deeper the tendency that occurred based on the implicature characteristics. The results showed there were 4 major different patterns, namely: decreasing , increasing and then decreasing , decreasing and then increasing , and increasing . The result of each multiple choice implicature test is presented in Groups based on the patterns as follows: a. Decreasing The Multiple-choice test numbers that showed the decreasing pattern are: 3. Jane notices that her co-worker Sam is dirty all over, he has holes in his pants, and scratches on his face and hands. Jane : “What happened to you?” Sam : “I rode my bike to work.” What does Sam probably mean? a. Today he finally got some exercise biking. b. He hurt himself biking. c. It’s hard to get to work without a car. d. He enjoys biking. Figure 4.5.Figure Result test no.3 The correct answer is: B. He hurt himself biking. This type of implicature belongs to those which violates Maxims of Relevance be relevant. 26 out of the 30 semester 2 students answered correctly, 23 out of the 30 semester 4 students answered correctly, and 15 out of the 30 semester 6 students answered correctly. This result also clearly shows that there is no significant development, since it shows that the higher semester level the less number of students answered correctly. 5. Jose and Tanya are professors at a college. They are talking about a student, Derek. Jose : “How do you like Derek’s essay?” Tanya : “I thought it was well-typed.” What does Tanya probably mean? a. She did not like Derek’s essay. b. She likes if the student hand in their work type-written. c. She thought the topic Derek had chosen was interesting. d. She doesn’t really remember Derek’s essay. Figure 4.6. Figure Result test no. 5 The correct answer is: A. She did not like Derek’s essay. This type of implicature belongs to those which violates Maxims of Manner clearness and
