CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter presents the results and discussions on the findings of the research. This chapter consists of the data presentation and the answers to the research questions presented in chapter one. The first question is what steps of the induction and closure technique are conducted in English language teaching in SMK BOPKRI Wates. The second question to answer is how the induction and closure technique affects the student’s English mastery.

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 English Level of the 11 th Grade Students of SMK BOPKRI Wates In order to know the English level of the 11 th grade students of SMK BOPKRI Wates, Yogyakarta, the researcher conducted a pre-test for the students. 36 37 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 NO PRE-TEST 1 STUDENT 1 8.6 2 STUDENT 2 8 3 STUDENT 3 7.3 4 STUDENT 4 7.3 5 STUDENT 5 6.6 6 STUDENT 6 6.6 7 STUDENT 7 6.6 8 STUDENT 8 6.6 9 STUDENT 9 6.6 10 STUDENT 10 6.6 11 STUDENT 11 5.3 12 STUDENT 12 5.3 13 STUDENT 13 4.6 14 STUDENT 14 4.6 15 STUDENT 15 4 16 STUDENT 16 4 17 STUDENT 17 3.3 18 STUDENT 18 2.6 19 STUDENT 19 1.3 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. 39 b. Pre-Test for Accounting Class: The following is the table showing the result of the pre-test: Table 3. Pre-Test Result for Accounting Class NO SCORES LEVELS 1 STUDENT 1 10 INTERMEDIATE - EXPERT 2 STUDENT 2 9.3 INTERMEDIATE - EXPERT 3 STUDENT 3 8.6 INTERMEDIATE 4 STUDENT 4 8.6 INTERMEDIATE 5 STUDENT 5 8.6 INTERMEDIATE 6 STUDENT 6 8.6 INTERMEDIATE 7 STUDENT 7 8 INTERMEDIATE 8 STUDENT 8 8 INTERMEDIATE 9 STUDENT 9 8 INTERMEDIATE 10 STUDENT 10 7.3 INTERMEDIATE 11 STUDENT 11 7.3 INTERMEDIATE 12 STUDENT 12 7.3 INTERMEDIATE 13 STUDENT 13 7.3 INTERMEDIATE 14 STUDENT 14 7.3 INTERMEDIATE 15 STUDENT 15 6.6 BEGINNER 16 STUDENT 16 6.6 BEGINNER 17 STUDENT 17 6.6 BEGINNER 18 STUDENT 18 6.6 BEGINNER 19 STUDENT 19 6.6 BEGINNER 20 STUDENT 20 6 BEGINNER 21 STUDENT 21 5.3 BEGINNER 22 STUDENT 22 5.3 BEGINNER 23 STUDENT 23 5.3 BEGINNER 24 STUDENT 24 5.3 BEGINNER 25 STUDENT 25 5.3 BEGINNER 26 STUDENT 26 5.3 BEGINNER 27 STUDENT 27 4.6 BEGINNER 28 STUDENT 28 4.6 BEGINNER 29 STUDENT 29 4.6 BEGINNER 30 STUDENT 30 4 BEGINNER 31 STUDENT 31 3.3 BEGINNER 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: Figure 2. Pre-Test Result Comparison In term of class average, the chart shows how the accounting class is slightly better than the office administration class: Sco re s Students’ numbers on the table 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Accounting Office Adm 41 Figure 3. Class Average Comparison from Pre-Test Result In conclusion, the pre-test showed that the 11 th grade students of SMK BOPKRI Wates, Yogyakarta were still in the beginner level of English. Some students, in a very small portion, had potential to be intermediate or expert learners but with intensive learning and practice. 2.
