Hypotheses Testing The Analysis of the Data
English movies using subtitles. This, of course, means that the inputs are not optimally received because they read the subtitle rather than listen to the
dialogues. Moreover, 60 of respondents choose to use Indonesian subtitle see Figure 4.5.
3 The findings in point number 2 then may directly affect the findings in point
number 1. If the respondents use subtitles —and the ones that are in
Indonesian, their per ception of ―understandability‖ of the language in the
movies may be biased. For more explanation regarding the subtitle use, the respondents’ answers for
item number 4 were compared. The item asks “How often do you watch English
movies without using subtit le?” None of the respondents answered it with Almost
Always, 10 respondents answered Frequently, 11 respondents answered Sometimes, 7 respondents answered Rarely, and 2 answered Almost Never.

Next, the listening scores from group 2 and group 4 were compared. After the sums of listening scores from both groups were calculated, the result showed that
group 2, who answered Frequently, has the average listening score of 82.75. Meanwhile, group 4, who answered Rarely, has the average score of 80.5. This
result may imply that the respondents who frequently watch non-subtitled movies indeed have better listening skill than the respondents who rarely watch non-
subtitled movies.
