D. Instrument of the Study
The writer used the test as the instrument of this study. The test was divided into two parts that were pre-test and post-test. The result of pre-test and

The test that used in this study was pre-test and post-test. Pre-test distributed in five classes 8D, 8E, 8F, 8G, and 8H class to know the averages
score for each class. The result of the test used to determine the experimental class and controlled class. Meanwhile, post-test distributed to both experimental class
and controlled class after experimental class got the treatment from the writer in the teaching and learning process in the class. The treatment is Teams Games
Tournament TGT. The post-test distributed to know the significance achievement of experimental class in reading narrative text. The questions that
used in this study were multiple choices. Before conducting the pre-test the writer already made 30 multiple choice
