The Effectiveness of Transformation Drill Method in Teaching Direct and Indirect Speech at the Tenth Grade Students at SMA N 2 Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2015/ 2016

Abstract

The objective of this research is to find out whether or not transformation drill methodis effective in teaching direct and indirect speechat the tenth grade students of SMA N 2 Purworejo in the academic year of 2015/ 2016. This research belongs to quantitative research and it uses pre experimental research as the design of the research. The number of sample is 32 students (class X5) of SMA N 2 Purworejo in the academic year 2015/2016. The sampling technique which is used is purposive sampling. The instrument that used to collect the data is a test. The form of the test is devided into two two parts. Those are pretest which is conducted on April, 19th 2016 and post test which is conducted on April 28th 2016. The treatment is conducted on April, 19th (after giving pre-test), 26th, and28th (before giving post-test) 2016. To analyze the data, the researcher uses t-test formula. The result of the research shows that the mean score pre-test is 68.25, and it is categorized as good. The mean score of post-test is 83.69, and it is categorized as excellent. It can be seen that the score of post-test is higher than pre-test. Chisquare obtained in pre-test is 7.24 and chi-square obtained in post-test was 7.76. both chi-square of pre-test and post-test are lower than chi-square table (7.24 and 7.76 < 11.070).It means that the data distribution of pre-test and post-test are normal. From the manual computation, it shows that the tvalue is lower than ttable (- 13.080 < -2.04). From SPSS computation, the result of the significant is lower than the critical value (0.00 < 0.05). Therefore, from the two computations that are used, the researcher concludes that hypothesis alternative is accepted which means that the use of transformation drill is effective to improve students’ understanding at the tenth grade students of SMA N 2 Purworejo in the academic year of 2015/2016.
