CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the results of the research through the answer of the research questions. There are two parts in this chapter. The first part is divided into two parts which arethe elaboration of the steps in designing and making Text Types Board and the description of the Text Types Board model. The first part aims to answer the first research question about how a set of Text Types Board learning media for junior high school is designed. The second part is the elaboration about the effects of using Text Types Board for students’ learning process. The second part aims to answer the second research question on how do the Text Types Board affect the learning process in junior high school process.

A. The Elaboration of the Steps in Designing and Making Text Types Board

The students also found the difficulties to find sources to answer questions in the pretest because of the limited school facilities.
