d. Economy
Lado 1961:31 states, “it will be practical and economical if the test measures what is needed in a reasonable time with consider the situation.” In giving
a test, the researcher should have consider a reasonable time; it is not too fast and not too long. The test should provide sufficient information in accordance with the time
which is given in order to obtain the result which is expected.
e. Administrability
Lado 1961:32 states, “Can the test be given under the condition that prevail and by the personnel that is avalaible? That is, if we do not have a record player, a
test on record can not be administered.” It means that the test should have the instruments which held by the examine in order to the test can be administered.
CHAPTER III METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1 Method of the Study
In this thesis,the researcher applied two methods of research, library research and field research. In library , the Researcher read some books related to the topic
especially English grammar book to find the data of theory and to help in analysing the research. And then in field research, the researcher collected and chose the
36 subjects. Next, the researcher prepared a multiple choice test before being taught and
then the researcher taught the subject of elliptical in front of the class. And after that, did the test again after being taught . And the last, the researcher used descriptive
method to describe all the point that involved by each learners. Then the researcher made the result test of the learners. The researcher combined the result of learners
test before and after being taught.
3.2 Population and Sample
The word “population” might mean differently in different situation or context. Based on The Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary 1974 : 649, it
explains that, “ population is the member of the people living in a place, country, etc or a special section of them.” According the quotation above, the population of a
country is people, but the population of a research can be people, social phenomena, language, and any other things, which may be relevant to the study. In this case,
population is a group of individual or item to be studied. Sample was used as an object to represent the population. It was impossible
for the researcher to take all population to be the object of this thesis. Therefore, the researcher took some learners as samples and informants. The sample of this thesis is
grade IX of “Bimbel Medica” learners on Jl.Iskandar Muda no 19A Medan.
3.3 The Techniques of Collecting Data
In order to collect the data, the researcher did some steps. first, researcher collected the data by using observation and test. These two steps have their own
advantages. By doing observation the researcher knew about the learners problems in elliptical sentences. By giving the test, the researcher got the data based on their
37 ability in mastering English elliptical construction. In fact, if someone do a research
without using any technique of collecting the data, it will be impossible to complete the analysis.
