Test of Hypothesis Interpretation of the Data

41 SE MD1 – SE MD2 = - 10.75 – -7.5 2.9 – 2.31 = -10.75 + 7.5 2.9 – 2.31 = -3.25 0.59 = -5.5 Note: Tanda – minus di sini bukanlah tanda aljabar; karena itu dengan t o sebesar −5.5 itu dapat kita baca: ada selisih derajat perbedaan sebesar 5.5. 35 h. Determining t-table t t in significance level 5 and 1 with degree of freedom df df = N1 + N2 – 2 = 20 + 20 – 2 = 40 – 2 = 38 See the table of t values of degree of freedom df = 38 at significance level 5 and 1 t table t t at significance level 5 = 2.02 t table t t at significance level 1 = 2.71 5 = t o t t = -5.5 2.02 1 = t o t t = -5.5 2.71

3. Test of Hypothesis

The statistic hypothesis states: a. If t o t t it means that the Null Hypothesis H o is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis H a is accepted. Thus, there is positive significant difference between the teaching of Reading Comprehension using Newspaper Articles and English Textbook. b. If t o t t it means that the Null Hypothesis H o is accepted and the Alternative Hypothesis H a is rejected. Thus, there is no positive significant difference 42 between the teaching of Reading Comprehension using Newspaper Articles and English Textbook. In the simply resume, the result may be formulated as follows: t o t t = -5.5 2.02 in significance level 5 t o t t = -5.5 2.71 in significance level 1 Thus, t o t t = 2.71 -5.5 2.02 The result of statistic calculation indicates that t o t t in 5 and 1 significant level. It means there is obvious difference between the average score from the results of teaching reading comprehension in experiment class and in controlled class.

4. Interpretation of the Data

Based on the analysis on the results in the table above, it can be inferred that teaching Reading Comprehension using newspaper articles shows a better learning outcome than using English textbook. It simply illustrates that teaching reading using newspaper articles gives more advantages than teaching reading using English textbook. 43

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion 1. Teaching Reading Comprehension by using Newspaper Articles has given a positive influence, shown from the mean from the post test. The mean of experiment class which using newspaper articles is 74.75, while the mean of controlled class which use English textbook materials only 69. 2. The result of the analysis in the research, showed that the value of t o is 5.5 which bigger than t table t t at significance level 5 = 2.02 and t table t t at significance level 1 = 2.71. It means that the Null Hypothesis H o is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis H a is accepted. Thus, teaching Reading Comprehension using newspaper articles show a better learning outcome than without using newspaper articles. In other words, the students who learn reading comprehension using newspaper articles show a significance better learning outcome than without using newspaper articles. B. Suggestion 1. Based on the research that the writer employed, it would be better if teacher uses texts from newspapers when shehe will give skimming and scanning task. 2. The teacher permits students to bring their dictionary. It will help them when they get trouble in understanding an article. 3. If students face some difficulties in reading newspapers The difficulties mostly fall into several areas: vocabularies, phrase, and grammar, the teacher may use the Sandersons way to solve this difficulties.
