Hi :D How are you today? I hope you are in a good situation. Well,in this blog we still discuss about the journal of "Improving Students Listening Ability By Using Chain Whispering Words or Sentence Technique". In this chance,we will discuss about the research method. Let's go !

Research Method

     The population that the researcher used was all the first year of SMP Somba Opu Sungguminasa Gowa 2013/2014.The are two classes each class consist of 30 students, so the total population is 60 students. The researcher choose one class, namely class 1.A, so the total sample is 30 students.

     There were two kind of instrument applied in this research,listening test and questionnaire. The Student is expected to give their response toward the statements in the questionnaire. In collecting data, the writer used the following procedures as follows: 

a. Pre-test  

The researcher read text for three times and asked the students to choose the right answer the question.

b. Treatment 

The treatment is applied by three meetings : 

1) First Meeting 

Introduce and explain about Chain Whisper Technique. 

2) Second Meeting  

The researcher give treatment test with the topic “what is your sport” and then the students listen the sentence which is Whisper by teacher. 

3) Third Meeting  

The students whispered the sentence to the others by chain whisper in every group. It is apply by 60 minutes.

c. Pos-test  

The researcher gave test which same as pre-test and ask them to listen the text and choose the right answer. The researcher just read the text for two times. It is apply by one meeting.

     From the introduction until the research method,the reseachers always give a clear explanation. It means that this journal can be understanding by all of the circles,even they still learn english. In the treatment part,the researchers explain the method step by step. I believe that this method can be understand by the teacher easily.

That's all from me,i hope this information can be useful for us. Thank you for reading :)

International Journal Review (2)

Assalamualaikum wr wb..

Hello friends :D How are you today? I hope you are having a good time. Well,in this blog i still discuss about the journal of "Improving Students Listening Ability By Using Chain Whispering Words or Sentence Technique". Last week, i reviewed about the introduction. And now i'll review about the literature review. 

Literature Review

The ideas in this journal were supported by a several previous researchers such as Faridah, Kartono, and Siti Halidjah (2012) who stated that the chain whispering technique had been successfully because there was an increasement in every meeting. Apriani Sufiarti, A.A.I.N. Marhaeni, I.M. Sutama (2013) also explained that students' interest in learning English was improved when using a chain whispering techniques. Especially in the aspect of listening. In addition, Kurnia Zulianti PBI FKIP Unisma (2013) also stated that chain whispering techniques gave a good results to improve students' speaking skills. It means that teaching English speaking skill by using whisper game was successful. This technique could be used by the teacher for the speaking class to develop and improve the students’ speaking achievement with any other activity and style based on the students’ interest. By using whisper game, teaching will be fun. Referring to some previous research findings, the researcher concluded that the students’ listening ability can be improved after giving some interesting techniques or more exercises or using unusual media. It means that English teachers should have a variety of techniques in order to avoid the bored students.

I think this technique is very interesting. The reseachers gave the detail explanation about how is a chain whispering. The researchers also put a several statement from the other researchers. This is a great technique to practice the students listening skills. I agree that this technique will be liked by students,because the students loves to work in a group. If the students understand about something,they will remember it for a long time. I hope this technique will gave that effect for students.

That's all from me,i hope this information can be useful for us. Thank you for reading :)
