THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PEER-TEACHING
TOWARD THE STUDENTS’ COMPREHENSION IN PRESENT
PERFECT TENSE (A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH OF THE
EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMP ABDI AGAPE PONTIANAK
IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2015/2016)This research was conducted involving eighth grade students of SMP
ABDI AGAPE which is located in Siantan, Pontianak. The problem of the
research is “is the use of peer-teaching strategy effective toward the students’
comprehension in present perfect tense?”
In collecting the data, the researcher used posttest in the form of multiple-choice test. The test was used to find the result of the effectiveness of peer-teaching toward students’ comprehension in present perfect tense.
Based on the results of posttest, the mean score of students in control
group is a bit greater than mean score of the students in experimental group. Mean
score of the students in control group was 1.14 greater than mean score of the
students in experimental group.
There was also no significant difference of the students’ comprehension in
present perfect tense for both groups. It was showed from the computation of t-test
where pvalue > α which means H0 is accepted. In the same way, t
value also compared
with ttable
where tvalue < ttable
which means H0 is accepted.
Based on the result of the research, the researcher found out that there is no
significant difference in students’ comprehension of present perfect tense between
the students who were taught by using peer-teaching and without peer-teaching.
Then, the researcher concluded peer-teaching is not effective for present perfect
tense teaching in the eighth grade students of SMP ABDI AGAPE in the academic
year of 2015/2016.
