ABSTRACT Ulfah, Maria. 2013. The Ability of Reading Recount Text of the Eighth Grade Students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014 Taught by Using Two Stay Two Stray.Skripsi: English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (i) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd (ii) Nuraeningsih, S.Pd, M.Pd Key words: Reading Ability, Two Stay Two Stray Reading is one of four skills in English. Reading is taught more often than the other language skills Most English test such as in the summative test, mid test or formative test is in the form of readings. Even though reading is `dominant in English classroom, the result of students reading text is still unsatisfactory and many students fail. In this case the teacher should use appropriate method or strategy to make the students more interest and active in the classroom. Two stay Two Stray is one of strategy that can be used by the teacher in teaching English. It hopefully can improve the students reading ability. The objective of the research is to know whether there is a significant difference between the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Two Stay Two Stray. This research was an experimental research. The writer used one group with pretest and posttest. The population of the research was the eighth grade students of MtsNurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 in first semester. The writer took class VIII E as the sample. The writer used recount text as the materials. The data were collected through written test (multiple choices). The result of the this research shows that the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before taught by using Two Stay Two stray is categorized sufficient by the average score is 57.19 and the standard deviation is 7.12. Meanwhile,the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 after taught by using Two Stay Two stray is categorized good by the average score is 76.80 and the standard deviation is 3.64. The hypothesis of the research that states that there is a significant difference between the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Two Stay Two Stray is confirmed, it can be seen from the calculation of t-test, with the level significance 0.05 and degree of freedom (df) 35 showed that the data of t table (t t ) is 2.04 and t observation (t 0 ) is 13.40. The result is t o > t t (t observation is greater than t table), so to falls into critical region. ix
The conclusion of the research shows that there is a significant difference between the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Two Stay Two Stray. Because the use of Two Stay Two Stray in teaching reading recount text shows good result, so the writer suggests to the English teacher of junior high school to use Two Stay Two Stray as one of strategy to teach reading skill. x
ABSTRAK Ulfah, Maria. 2013. Kemampuan Membaca Teks Recount Siswa Kelas Delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014 Diajarkan dengan Menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray. Skripsi. Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd (ii) Nuraeningsih, S.Pd, M.Pd Kata Kunci: Kemampuan membaca, Two Stay Two Stray. Membaca merupakan salah satu dari empat kemampuan yang diajarkan dalam bahasa Inggris. Kemampuan membaca merupakan kemampuan yang lebih banyak diajarkan dibandingkan dengan kemampuan berbahasa yang lainnya.. Kebanyakan dari tes bahasa Inggris seperti tes sumatif, tes mid ataupun tes formatif adalah berbentuk bacaan. Meskipun kegiatan membaca sering diajarkan di ruang kelas bahasa Inggris, hasil penilaian terhadap kemampuan siswa dalam membaca teks masih kurang dan mereka dinyatakan gagal. Oleh sebab itu, guru seharusnya menggunakan metode atau strategi yang sesuai untuk membuat siswa lebih tertarik dan aktif dikelas. Two stay Two Stray merupakan salah satu strategi yang dapat digunakan guru dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris. Strategi tersebut diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun akademik 2013/2014 yang diajar dengan tanpa menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray dan mereka yang diajar dengan menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen. Penulis menggunakan satu grup dengan memberikan pre-tes dan post-tes. Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014 pada semester pertama. Penulis mengambil kelas VIII E sebagai sampel. Penulis menggunakan teks recount sebagai materi penelitian. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes tertulis (pilihan ganda). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum diajar menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray di kategorikan cukup dengan nilai rata-rata 57.19 dan standar deviasi 7.12. Sedangkan kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014 setelah diajar menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray di kategorikan bagus dengan nilai rata-rata 76.80 dan standar deviasi 3.64. hipotesis penelitian yang menyatakan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajar dengan menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray xi
diterima, ini dapat dilihat dari perhitungan t-tes pada tingkat signifikansi 0.05 dan derajat kebebasan 35 yang menunjukkan bahwa t tabel 2.04 dan t observasi 13.04. hasilnya adalah t o > t t ( t observasi lebih besar dari pada t tabel), sehingga t observasi jatuh pada daerah kritis. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajar dengan menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray Dikarenakan penggunaan strategi Two Stay Two Stray dalam pengajaran membaca teks recount menunjukkan hasil yang bagus, penulis menyarankan kepada guru-guru Bahasa Inggris SMP untuk menggunakan strategi ini dalam melatih kemampuan membaca. xii
