row to read and it will be carried on by another row. The next activity was text explanation. The teacher gave equal meaning of some words in Bahasa. She
translated the text into Bahasa, so that the students could understand what the text talked about. After that, the students did the task individually. Unlike in
experiment class which used collaborative learning where students were encouraged to be actively involved in learning process and took responsibility
with their own learning, the students in control class were not led to do it. Teacher became the centre and the source of learning. For example, when
students were reading a text or doing a task, and they found some words they did not know the meaning, they can simply asked the teacher. She would give
the meaning immediately. Besides, if there was question or statement they did not understand, she would translate it. Students were not led to figure it out by
themselves.
5. Technique of Collecting Data
The instrument that the writer used for collecting data was reading test. The test consisted of three reading passages. Each passage is followed by
five comprehension questions. There are fifteen questions all. The test format is multiple choice. Students will get 100 point if they have all the answer
correct. They will get 6.7 for every correct answer. Both of the class, experiment class and control class, were given the
same test.
6. Technique of Data Analysis
When the data has been collected, it is time to analyze them. The technique of data analysis used in this research is statistic analysis with “t”
Test. The formula is as follow:

The last is the test of hypotheses. It is by comparing t o
, found using the
formula, with t
t , listed in the table. We need to find out the degrees of freedom first
by using this formula: df = N

b c

If t o
is equal or higher than t t
, H o
is denied. It means that the difference between two variables is significant. If t
o is lower than t
t , H
o is accepted. It means that the
difference between two variables is insignificant.
