A. Data Presentation: The 11
th
Grade Students of SMK BOPKRI Wates
Before the writer conducted a research on the effect of induction and closure technique towards the English mastery of the 11
th
grade students of SMK BOPKRI
Wates, the writer did an observation on the students’ background. The students’ background includes their level of English and interests. By knowing
their level, the researcher was able to measure their progress in English mastery at the end of the research. On the other side, by knowing the students’ interests, the
researcher was able to determine whether the induction and closure technique made use their interests or not and whether their interests helped them to master
the skills and materials given or not. 1.

The pre-test included basic materials of English; they were simple present tense, simple past tense, and wh-questions. There were fifteen numbers in the test; ten
numbers were in multiple choices forms, while five numbers were in error analysis forms. The example of the pre-test instrument is provided in Appendix 7
on page 178. a. Pre-Test for Office Administration Class:
The following is the table showing the result of the pre-test: Table 2. Pre-Test Result for Office Administration Class

TOTAL 105.8
STUDENTS
From the result above, the researcher determined the class English level by calculating the mean. The following formula was used to determine the classes’
English level:
38
Class average = Total score = class average
Number of student
The result from the formula was classified into levels as follows:
English level grade = 9 – 10 = intermediate – expert
7 – 8.9 = intermediate 0 – 6.9 = beginner
There were only eighteen students followed the pre-test in the office administration class, one student was absent. From the result, the office
administration class had four students who got 7 – 8.9 score range. While fourteen students were in 0 – 6.9 score range. This result shows that there were four
students who were in intermediate level, and the rest of them, fourteen students were in beginner level. From the result the researcher also determined the class
English level. The following is the counting of the level based on the pre-test
result: Class average
= Total score = class average Number of student
= 105.8 = 5.57 = beginner
19 As the formula result shows, the office administration class had 5.51 for its
class average. Therefore, it can be considered that this class was in the beginner
level of English.

TOTAL SCORE 206.1
STUDENTS
In the accounting class, there were thirty one students who followed the pre-test, eight students were absent. The result shows that there were two students
who got 9 – 10 score range, twelve students were in 7 – 8.9 score range, and seventeen students were in 0 – 6.9 score range. It shows that this class had two
40
students in intermediate-expert level, twelve students in intermediate level and seventeen students in beginner level. By using the same formula, the researcher
determined the accounting class English level:
Class average = 206.1 = 6.65 = beginner
31 From the result above, the accounting class had a better average result than
the office administration, which result was 6.65. This indicates that the class had better students, in terms of English than the other class. However, the result was
not good enough as the class average and this class was still considered to be in the beginner level. The following chart could show the comparison of the pre-test
between the two classes:
