materials in the teaching and learning process in the classroom experiment group. The behavioral changes were depicted through the questionnaire as a
supporting data. The product of this design was considered as an alternative technique which should be put or implemented in the classroom to identify its
strength and weaknesses. According to Mckernan in Klemens’ unpublished thesis 2006:63 this will be done through the following steps namely: preparation,
implementation, and evaluation.
B. Nature of Data
Based on the method employed in this research, the nature of the data was quantitative. They were needed in answering the research question. To answer the
question, the needed data were the result of a pre-test and post-test, the average and the standard deviation, the gain score, T-test, and
respondents’ answers to questions, opinions on questionnaire results.
C. Population and Sample
Population is any set of items, individuals, etc which share some common and observable characteristics and from which a sample can be taken. Thus, one can
speak of comparing test scores accross a sample of a population of students Richards, J, J. Platt, H. Webber 1985:223. Tuckman 1978:227 maintains that

information and drawing conclusion. For the sake of this research, the population of the research was the students of EC 4 ELTI
– Gramedia Semarang. The total number of the students was 30 students. The number of female students was
more than male students. The students of EC 4 consists of students from grade 4 elementary school was decided to be the population since they have the lesser
knowledge about grammar; thus, as this research concerns grammar, this study is hopefully effective. Later on the researcher will split the class into two groups
namely: control
group and
experimental group.
According to
http:www.des.ucdavis.edufacultyhandyESP178class_5.pdf retrieved
in 2009 “control group is group of subjects to whom experimental group can be
compared-exposed to different treatment or no treatment. While experimental group is a group of subjects who receive „treatment’ ”. In this research, the
control experienced the existing teaching method used at ELTI – Gramedia
Semarang, which was a combination between two techniques, namely: audio- lingualism and task based learning this technique is previously known by “the
magic paper”. Whilst, the experimental group experienced the Comprehensive Teaching Technique CTT.
