ABSTRACT

Ulya, Himmatul. 2012. The Listening Ability of the Eighth Grade Students of MTs

NU Mu’allimat Kudus in Academic Year 2011/2012 Taught by Using

Dictation Technique. Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher

Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (i) Drs.

Muh. Syafei, M. Pd., (ii) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd

Key words: Dictation Technique, Listening Ability

Listening is the process of understanding speech in a first or second

language. The purpose of listening is to get the information from the sound

streaming into the sense of hearing. Listening skill is one of the basic skills and

the important skill than the other skill. But, in fact many people or students

especially the eighth grade students in MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus have

difficulties when they get listening material. From this fact, the teacher must have

creative technique to improve listening skill. One of the technique is dictation

technique.

The objectives of the research are as follows: (1) to find out the listening

ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic

year 2011/2012 before being taught by using dictation technique. (2) to find out

the listening ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in

academic year 2011/2012 after being taught by using dictation technique. (3) to

find out whether or not there is a significant difference between the listening

ability of the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic

year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using dictation technique.

The design of of this research is an experimental research using test

instrument. This experiment uses one group pre test and post test design, because

it is done in one group only without control group. This experiment is applied to

the eighth grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus to explore the result of

their listening ability before and after being taught by using dictation technique. In

this research, the writer gives the students a pre test and the implementation of

teaching listening by using dictation technique and the last stage given to them is

a post test. The sample are the students of VIII A.

The result of this research indicates that using dictation technique in

teaching listening is effective to improve the listening ability of the students. It

can be seen from the pre test and post test result. The pre test result of the mean is

76 and standard deviation is 7.681. So, the result of the listening ability before

being taught by using dictation technique of the eight grade students of MTs NU

Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 is sufficient. Meanwhile, on the

post test result the mean is 83.875 and standard deviation is 8.507. So, the result

of the listening ability after being taught by using dictation technique of the eighth

grade students of MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 is

excellent. The hypothesis is confirmed in the level of significance 0.05 (5%) is

2.021 and the degree of freedom (N-1) = 39 shows that there is significant

difference between the listening ability of the eight grade students of MTs NU

x

Mu’allimat Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by

using dictation technique. The result of t0 (12.27) is higher than t-table (2.021).

Therefore, it can be said that the Null Hypothesis is rejected, while the alternative

hypothesis of the research is confirmed.

The writer suggests for the teachers can use dictation technique as one of

alternative teachnique to teach listening material. The teacher also should

motivate the students in study English. For students should be able in listening

ability and also they should know the meaning of English vocabulary/ the verb

because it make the students can understand what the meaning of the sentences.

And the last for the further researchers, they can do dictation technique not only in

teaching listening but also in teaching speaking, reading and writing.

ABSTRAKSI

Ulya, Himmatul. 2012. Kemampuan Mendengarkan oleh siswa kelas delapan

MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012 Diajarkan

menggunakan Teknik Dictation. Skripsi. Program Studi Bahasa Inggris

Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus.

Pembimbing:(1) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M. Pd,. (ii) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M. Pd

Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Mendengarkan, Teknik Dictation.

Mendengarkan adalah proses memahami pembicaraan/pidato dalam

bahasa pertama atau bahasa kedua. Tujuan mendengarkan adalah untuk

mendapatkan informasi dari suara yang masuk ke indra pendengaran.

Kemampuan mendengarkan adalah salah satu kemampuan dasar dan kemampuan

yang terpenting dari pada kemampuan yang lain. Tapi, kenyataanya banyak orang

atau siswa-siswa terutama siswa-siswa kelas delapan di sekolah MTs NU

Mu’allimat Kudus, mereka masih mempunyai kesulitan ketika mereka

mendapatkan materi tentang mendengarkan. Dari kenyataan ini, guru harus

mempunyai teknik yang kreatif yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan

mendengarkan. Salah satu tekniknya adalah dictation (mendekte).

Tujuan dari penelitian ini meliputi: (1) untuk menemukan kemampuan

mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran

2011/2012 sebelum diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation. (2) untuk

menemukan kemampuan mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat

Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik

dictation. (3) untuk menemukan ada atau tidaknya perbedaan antara kemampuan

mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran

2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation.

Rancangan penelitian ini adalah penelitian experimen dengan

menggunakan instrumen tes. Penelitian experimen ini, menggunakan satu

kelompok pre test dan post test, karena penelitan dilakukan hanya dalam satu

kelompok tanpa kelompok pembanding. Penelitian ini diterapkan untuk siswa

kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus untuk mencari hasil kemampuan

mendengarkan mereka sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan

teknik dictation. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis memberikan pre test kepada siswa,

kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pelaksanaan pengajaran mendengarkan

menggunakan teknik dictation dan langkah yang terakhir memberikan post tes

pada siswa. Sempel yang digunakan adalah siswa kelas VIII A.

Hasil dari penelitian ini menunujukan bahwa menggunakan teknik

dictation dlam pengajaran mendengarkan lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan

kemampuan mendengarkan pada siswa-siswa. Hal ini dpat dilihat dari hasil pre

test dan post test. Hasil pre test, nilai rata-rata (mean) = 76 dan stantar deviasi =

7.681. Jadi, hasil dari kemampuan mendengarkan sebelum diajarkan

menggunakan teknik dictation pada siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat

Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 adalah cukup. Sementara itu, pada hasil post

xii

test, nilai rata-rata (mean) = 83.875 dan standar deviasi = 8.507. Jadi, hasil dari

kemampuan mendengarkan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan teknik dictation pada

siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 adah

sangat baik. Hipotesis pada tingkat signifikan 0.05 (5%) = 2.021 dan tingkat

kebebasan (N-1) = 39, menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan antara kemampuan

mendengarkan siswa kelas delapan MTs NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun pelajaran

2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajrkan menggunakan teknik dictation. Hasil to

(12.27) lebih tinggi dari t-tabel (2.021). Oleh karena itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa

null hipotesis ditolak, sementara alternatif hipotesis diterima.

Penulis menyarankan untuk para guru agar dapat menggunakan teknik

dictation sebagai salah satu teknik alternatif untuk mengajar materi

mendengarkan. Guru juga harus memotivasi siswa-siswa dalam belajar bahasa

Inggris. Untuk siswa-siswa harus menguasai dalam kemampuan mendengarkan

dan juga mereka harus mengetahui makna dari kosa kata bahasa Inggris atau kata

kerja karena dari kata kerja tersebut, siswa-siswa dapat mengerti apa makna dari

sebuah kalimat. Dan yang terakhir, untuk peneliti selanjutnya, mereka dapat

menggunakan teknik dictation tidak hanya dalam pengajaran mendengarkan tetapi

juga dalam mengajar kemampuan berbicara, membaca dan menulis.
