Abstract

This final project is about the effectiveness of Cooperative Learning for teaching imperative sentence for year 7th students of Junior High School. The objectives of this study are to find out whether the Cooperative Learning techniques are effective to teach imperative sentences, and discover whether there is a difference of students’ English mastery between students taught using Cooperative Learning and those who are taught using conventional technique. The type of the research was quantitative experiment using experimental and control group with pre-test post-test design. The subjects of this study were the students of 7A and 7D SMP N 5 Batang. They were selected as they have similar average scores in theirlast English mid semester test. 7A was purposively chosen as the experimental group, while 7D was the control group.In this research, pre-test, treatments, and post-test were given. A different treatment was applied to the control group and the experimental group.The experimental group was taught using Round Table and Numbered Head Together, while the control group using conventional teaching method. Based on the data computations of pre-test and post-test results, the average score of the students taught by using Cooperative Learning technique rose 24.61%, from 70.46 to 87.81, while the average score of those taught by using conventional teaching strategy only rose 18.16%, from 69.24 to 81.81. Based on the statistic calculation, the t-test value was 12.14, while the t-table was 1.998. It means that the t-value was higher than the t-table. The result of the calculation indicates that there is a significant difference between the results of the two groups. In addition, Cooperative Learning techniques were slightly more effective to teach grammar, specifically imperative sentences. I suggest the teachers in that school use Cooperative Learning techniques more often in their teaching learning activity because two of them are proven effective in this research.
