has to learn Grammar. So teaching foreign language to students should be
interesting and fun to improve their grammar. E-learning Think Talk Write is
one of method that could be used for teaching grammar.
The aim of this research is to describe whether using E-learning Think
Talk Write method is effective or not in teaching degree of comparison for
students at the eighth grade in SMP N 4 Purworejo in the academic year of
2013/2014. In this research, the researcher took two classes as the sample,
they are VIII F which consists of 31 students as the experimental group and
VIII E which consists of 31 students as the control group. The number of
sample is 62 students. To collect the data, the researcher uses pre-test and
post-test. Before conducting post-test in experimental group, the researcher
gives treatment and in control group without treatment. The researcher used
E-learning Think Talk Write method to teach degree of comparison.
Statistically, the researcher analyzed the data by using t-test.
The result of this research shows that the mean score of pre-test and
post-test of experimental group are 71.61 and 78.87. The mean score of pretest
and post-test of control group are 71.29 and 75.32. The result of t-value
is2.17, based on the 0.05 significance level, the value of t-table is 2.000, the
computation shows that t-value is higher than t-table, which is 2.17>2.000.
Moreover, E-learning Think Talk Write method is effective to teach degree of
comparison. It can be seen from gained score control group and experimental
group which give the treatment. The mean of experimental group is higher
than control group. So, it can be concluded that the use of E-learning Think
Talk Write method is effective to teach degree of comparison at the eighth
grades in SMP N 4 Purworejo in the academic of year 2013/2014.
