This research used two groups as the object of the research; those were
experimental class and controlled class. In this research, the experimental class received some treatment that is using realia in learning concrete

Table 3.1 Pre-test and Post-test Design
Group Pre-test Treatment
Post-test Experimental Q1
Learning concrete noun by using realia.
Q2
Controlled Q1
Learning concrete noun without realia. Q2
Based on the table above, the writer took two classes, experimental class and controlled class. The writer gave the pre-test to both of
experiment and controlled class before he gave the treatment. He taught the students in experimental class by using realia and in controlled class
without using it. After four meeting, the writer gave the post-test to the both of students in experimental and controlled class. It was given to know
