Abstract

The topic of this study is the effectiveness of Course Review Horay in improving students‟ simple past tense mastery – an experimental study at grade XI of SMA Negeri 1 Subah in the academic year of 2010/2011. The objective of this study is to find out whether Course Review Horay could improve students‟ mastery of simple past tense or not. The research design used is true experimental design (pre test-post test control group and experimental design). The population of this study were students of SMA Negeri 1 Subah. The subject of this study was students grade eleven in the academic year 2010/2011. They consist of XI IPA and of XI IPS program. There are four classes of every program. The sampling technique was cluster random sampling. Thus, the number of sample was 70 students that consisted of 35 students of XI IPS 4 who were taught by using Course review Horay and 35 students of XI IPS 2 who were taught by conventional method. The total meetings of each group were five meetings, those were pre-test, treatments three times, and post test. Besides, there was the other group used in this study that was the try-out group (XI IPS 1 and IPS 3 class). Before conducting the research, I conducted a try-out test to the try-out classes to get the validity, reliability, item of difficulty and item discrimination of the instrument. After that, I started the research by giving a pre test, treatment, and a post test to both groups. The result of the test was analyzed by using t-test formula to know the difference in the students‟ simple past tense mastery result between the group that was taught by using Course Review Horay and the other one that was not. The data collected were analyzed, and the statistical analysis of the result showed that the average scores both the experimental and control groups increased. However, the experimental group has higher differences between the two mean. The difference between two mean of experimental group was 20 point, while the control group was 16.4 point. By using t-test formula, I tried to find out the significant difference between the two groups. Since the t-test (3.534) was higher than t-table (1.669), it means that there is a significant difference in terms students‟ mastery between the students who were taught by using Course Review Horay technique and the students who were not taught by using Course Review Horay. Finally, I suggest that English teachers concern better in their technique variety in teaching grammar
