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?
1.4  Objectives of the Study
1  to  describe  the  achievement  of  the  subjects  in  mastering  conditional  sentences, and
2  to  find  out  the  effect  of  the  use  of  tea  party  technique  to  teach  conditional sentences on the subjects.
1.5 Hypotheses
Hypothesis  is  a  suggested  answer  to  the  problem.  The  hypotheses  of  this  research will be stated as follows:
Working  hypothesis  H1=  the  subjects  who  were  taught  by  using  tea  party technique improved significantly in mastering conditional sentences than those
who were taught without tea party technique.
Null  hypothesis  H0=  the  subjects  who  were  taught  by  using  tea  party technique did not improve significantly in mastering conditional sentences than
those who were taught without tea party technique.
1.6  Significance of the Study
According  to  the  objectives  of  this  study,  this  research  is  conducted  to  give  useful contribution  in  education  field.  I  elaborate  the  significances  of  the  study  into  three
aspects: theoretically, practically, and pedagogically. 1.6.1  Theoretically, this research is expected to give benefit for the teachers to get a
new  understanding  of  an  alternative  technique  for  teaching  conditional sentences.  For  the  students,  this  research  is  expected  to  make  them  more
motivated  to  learn  conditional  sentences  through  tea  party  technique. Moreover,  this  research  can  become  an  inspiration  for  next  researchers  who
want to conduct a research related to conditional sentences. 1.6.2  Practically,  tea  party  technique  will  help  the  students  to  learn  conditional
sentences, and they can also apply this technique to learn any other subjects with  their  classmates.
This  technique  is  supposed  to  increase  students‟ achievement in learning conditional sentences. Hopefully, this technique can
be applied by teachers in teaching conditional sentences. 1.6.3  Pedagogically, the result of this research is expected to be a consideration for
the teachers to improve students‟ understanding of conditional sentences.
