information about their pictures; they can think and talk about their picture by themselves naturally. Last but not least, in any non English lesson, the picture
also give lot of advantages, it can be used to play games, to illustrate stories, and to do numerous other activities such as to assist teacher in presentation or
to exercise based on Finocchiaro argument’s in chapter II. In conclusion, it can be interpreted that there is significant difference
between students’ achievement who were taught degrees of comparison by using pictures and those who were taught degree of comparison without using
pictures. So, that teaching the degree of comparison by using pictures is effective and applicable.
4. The Test of Hypothesis
After calculating the data, the writer tested his hypothesis based on the statistical hypothesis. The statistical hypothesis states:
a. If t-test t t-table t
t
: there is significant difference of students’
achievement that are taught degree of comparison through picture and without picture. the alternative Hypothesis Ha is accepted and null
Hypothesis H is rejected
b. If t-test t t-table t
t
: there is no significant difference of students’
achievement who are taught degree of comparison through picture and without picture. the alternative Hypothesis Ha is accepted and null
Hypothesis H is rejected.

In this chapter, the writer tries to give the conclusion and suggestions based on the research findings that had been gained after conducting the research.
A.
Conclusion
The writer found that there was a problem arising at the second year students of SMP AD-
DA’WAH. Most of them got the difficulties in learning grammar, especially in learning degree of comparison. It was because they
thought that learning degree of comparison was different from learning their mother tongue. Degree of comparison had some confusing rules and lot of
forms to be mastered. Thus, the writer tried to solve this problem by teaching degree of comparison by using pictures.
Based on the data which was obtained from the research findings previously, the result from statistic calculation for the experiment class; M
pre- test
was 44, M
post-test
was 61.92, and M
gained score
was 17.92. Meanwhile for the control class; M
pre-test
was 41.75, M
post-test
was 53.44, and M
gained score
was 11.68. It means that the mean of the pre-test, the post-test, and the gained
score in the experiment class are higher than the mean of the pre-test, the post- test, and the gained score in the control class. Moreover, the result of t-
observation t
o
was 6.87 and t-table t
t
at significance level 5 was 2.011. Thus, t-observation t
o
= 6.87 is higher than t-table t
t
= 2.011 or 6.87 2.11. It shows
that there is significant difference between students’ achievement in learning degrees of comparison by using pictures and without using pictures.
From the result of the calculation above, it can be concluded that teaching degree of comparison by using pictures is more effective and applicable to be
applied by the writer at the second year students of SMP AD- DA’WAH, Duri
Kosambi-Cengkareng.
