THE EFFECT OF COMIC STRIP MEDIA ON VOCABULARY SIZE AT

THE ELEVENTH-YEAR STUDENTS OF SMAN 1 HANAU

ABSTRACT

This research aims to measure the effect of comic strips media on

vocabulary size gained by the eleventh-year students of SMAN 1 Hanau.

The type of study was quasi-experimental especially non-randomized

control group, pre-test post-test design and it was used quantitative approach in

finding out the answer of the problem of the study, the data collecting technique

used test. The Population of the research is of all eleventh-year students of

SMAN 1 Hanau. There were two classes of study namely XI IPS 1 as experiment

group and XI IPS 2 as control group with the total number student which class XI

IPS 1 the total student are 15 and class XI IPS 2 the total student are 17. The

sample of study is determined using cluster sampling technique.

The result of the study showed that: the result of hypothesis was found

that the calculated value (tobseved) was greater than ttable) at 1% and 5% significance

level or 2.04 < 2.922 > 2.75. It was interpreted than alternative hypothesis (ha)

stated that the students taught vocabulary by comic strips media have better

vocabulary size than the students taught vocabulary by non-comic strips media at

the eleventh-year students of SMAN 1 Hanau in academic year 2013/2014 was

accepted. The null hypothesis (h0) The students taught vocabulary by comic strips

media do not have better vocabulary size than the students taught vocabulary by

non-comic strips media at the eleventh-year students of SMAN 1 Hanau in
