ABSTRACT
Title : The Effectiveness of Using Pictures to Improve Listening
Comprehension Skill of Narrative Texts (An Experimental
Research at the Eighth Grade of SMPN 31 Semarang in the
Academic Year of 2011/2012)
Writer : Rina Wahyuningrum
NIM : 083411047
The background of the study in this research is based on the phenomena
that students in SMP N 31 Semarang usually get bored to learn listening, because
in the language learning, the teacher still focuses on the old learning model; the
students just listen the cassette and answer the teacher’s question correctly. So the
teacher must make conscientious decision about selecting teaching strategy for
specific purposes.
This study is about the effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening
comprehension skill of narrative texts for the eighth grade of SMPN 31 Semarang
in the academic year of 2011/2012. The statement of the problem in this study is
how is the effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening comprehension
skill of narrative texts for the eighth grade of SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic
year of 2011/ 2012? The objective of this study is to find out the effectiveness of
using pictures to improve listening comprehension skill of narrative texts for the
eighth grade of SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic year of 2011/2012. This
research is quantitative research using experimental method.
The population of this research was the eighth grade students of SMPN 31
Semarang. The research methodology was an experimental research which
conducted in two classes; the experimental class (VIII D) and control class (VIII
F) as sample. The VIII D was taught by using pictures, while the VIII F was
taught without pictures (just conventional teaching). The instruments used to
collect the data were documentation and test. The test had been tried out to find
out the validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discriminating power before it was
used to gather the data. The formula that was used to analyze the data was t-test. It
was used to determine whether there was a significance difference between
students’ scores in experimental class and students’ scores in control class or not.
After the data had been collected by using test, it was found that the pre-
test average of the experimental group was 56.83 and control group was 56.67.
While, the post-test average of the experimental group was 68.00 and control
group was 62.33. The obtained t-test was 2.688, whereas the t-table was 1.67 for
alpha ( ) 5%. The t-test score was higher than t-table (2.688 > 1.67). It was
meant that Ha was accepted while Ho was rejected. Since t-test score was higher
than the t-table, pictures were effective in improving student’s listening
comprehension skill of narrative texts SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic year
of 2011/ 2012. Finally the writer suggests to the teachers that they should use
pictures as one of media in teaching listening of narrative texts.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Listening is assumed as important thing in many language contexts. It
is important in the language classroom because it can provide contribution for
learners. If the learners cannot understand the process of listening at the right
level, the simple learning cannot begin well. In listening, learners were hoped
to interact to achieve understanding with accessing the second language
speakers. Teacher can use the exercise that can draw learner’s attention and
understanding not only in vocabulary but also in grammar, and new
interaction patterns in language to build their ability in listening.1
In teaching listening skill, many teacher just gives the material, the
students listen and write. The teacher does not explain what it means.
Whereas in listening comprehension skill not only theory that being explained
but also it involves practice and understanding. The students must be given a
chance to be active to develop their ability to understand the subject. Because
an important teaching goal is to help students becomes more creative.2
The material that has been taught for students of Junior High School not
only vocabulary and grammar but also genres and supporting competence
such as linguistic competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategy
competence. Genres are written text that have systemic linguists and
characteristic lexicogrammatical features. One of them is narrative text. It is
taught by teacher in order to amuse/entertaint the readers and to tell a story.3

In the language learning, basically the teacher still focuses on the old
learning model; the students just listen the cassette and answer the teacher’s
questions correctly. It can make listening uninteresting material and get the
minimum attention from the students. This phenomenon is happened in the
almost country in the world. It is the great duty for the language teacher. The
most important element and fundamental for the interaction is the ability to
understand what the speaker has said. In the daily life, we often meet
listeners who cannot listen well both of their mother tongue and foreign
language, maybe it is caused by the lack of focus or concentration, or
egocentrism. Whereas most of people has been estimated spend many time
for communication for 45% to listen, 30% to speak, 16% to read and just 9%
to wrtite.4
From the reality above, teachers must make conscientious decision
about selecting teaching strategy for specific purposes and about establishing
and maintaining a positive and orderly classroom environment. Using a
variety of activities and teaching aids and assessing students appropriately
will increase student’s participation.5
One of the strategies that can be used by the teacher in teaching
listening to the students is by using media to support the teaching and
learning process. Teacher should be creative to select the teaching media and
techniques to draw students’ interest and motivation in learning listening.
Teaching and learning process become more interesting and interactive
teaching process becomes efficient, increasing students’ output since the
media communicate the element of knowledge.
Brown states that using a variety of media will increase the probability
that the students will learn more and retain better what they learn in
4Iskandarwassid and Dadang Sunendar, Strategi Pembelajaran Bahasa, (Bandung: PT
Remaja Rosdakarya, 2008), P.229-230.

improving the performance of skill they are expected to develop.6 There are
many kinds of teaching media that can be used to convey the lesson. One of
media that can be used is picture. By using pictures in teaching listening, it is
expected that this method can give better result and can increase Junior High
School student’s motivation to master listening skill.7
In order to be able to teach well, teachers must have professional
ability which consists of ten teachers' competences. One of the competences
is by identifying, choosing, and using media. Gagne and Briggs, as quoted by
Azhar Arsyad says: “Learning media is including instrument physically, that
is used for conveying the content of learning material, it consists of the book,
tape recorder, cassette, etc.”8
From the explanation above, the writer conclude that uses pictures that
will be used as media in teaching listening comprehension on narrative text.
Pictures can be used as media to present new language through listening
comprehension. It is good for students because they like to learn using visual
aid. By using pictures as a mean for teaching listening comprehension skill,
students will be more interested in the process of teaching learning and more
active in learning. They will feel that they are just not an object of teaching
learning process but also a subject of it. By pictures they will be active as a
participant and they are given a chance for expressing their minds, emotions,
feeling and attitudes. Hopefully, by doing this the students will also improve
their listening skill.
From the description above, the writer is interested in researching
more about the effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening
comprehension skill on narrative texts (an experimental research at the eighth
grade of SMP N 31 Semarang in the Academic Year of 2011/2012)

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE
A. Previous Research
In this research, the writer will discuss the previous researcher to
prove the originally of this research. The writer will describe some works
which are relevant to this thesis to make the thesis arrangement easier and to
avoid repeating the same study.
Thesis entitled The Use of Series Pictures as Media in Writing
Procedure Texts (The Case of Tenth Grade Students of SMA N 2 Pemalang
in the Academic Year 2007/2008) written by Turasih (2201403578),
Language and Art Faculty of State University of Semarang, 2008 states that
using series pictures to teach writing is a good innovation it can stimulate the
students‟ interest in writing. Pictures can represent the real situation and the
students can express their ideas more easily. This study is an experimental
research. The research question of this study is how well pictures give
contribution to students in writing procedure texts?. It tries to know how well
picture give contribution to teach writing and to know if there is significant
difference in the achievement between the students who are taught writing
using pictures and the students who are taught writing without pictures as
media. The data were collected through an essay test. Based on the try out
and some revisions, the test was valid and reliable. The result of the research
shows that series pictures can contribute greatly to students in writing
especially procedure text. By looking at the pictures, the students were able to
catch the idea of what had to be written. The writer also expected that it can
be adapted to teach and improve listening skill.1

Izul Arifia (2201403548), Language and Art Faculty of State
University of Semarang, 2008 in her thesis entitled: The Use of Sequential
Pictures in Teaching Written Narrative Text (A case of the Eight Year
Students of MTs.N Kendal in the Academic Year of 2007/2008). The
background of the study is sequential pictures are chosen here because many
english teachers haven‟t used this media yet. The data were collected through
an essay test. Based on the try out and some revisions, the test was valid and
reliable. The reliability was calculated by using the alpha formula and the
validity was analyzed with Pearson product moment. To obtain the data the
writer carried out three steps: pre test, activities in the experimentation, and
post test. In the pre-test the result of the two groups were nearly the same.
The mean score of the experimental group was 52,25 and the mean score of
control group was 57,43. After receiving the different treatments, the two
groups got the different result. The post test mean score of the experimental
group was 79,90 while the mean score of control group was only 68,45. The
significant differences between the two groups showed that the use of
sequential pictures in teaching written narrative text was effective. The result
showed that the squential pictures give contribution in teaching written
narrative text to the eight year students of MTs or Junior High School. The
picture can motivate the students. They also can guide the students in
compossing a text.2
Abdul Mufid (3104217), Tarbiyah Faculty, State Institute for Islamic
Studies Walisongo Semarang, 2009 in his thesis entitled: The Effectiveness of
Using Pictures in Teaching of Narrative Text Writing to Improve Student‟s
Achivement (An Experimental Study at the Eight Grade Students of MTs
Nurul Huda Banyuputih Batang in Academic Year 2008/2009). The
background of the study is many english teachers face crucial problem to
choose the suitable technique of teaching writing, especially narrative text.

Sometimes the teachers still use a conventional technique that is makes the
students bored. Using pictures can be one of media to cope with that problem.
The research question in this research is what is the extent is the use of
pictures in teaching narrative text effective?. This research is quantitative
research using experimental method. The writer collected the data using test
and observation. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistical
analysis technique and the hypothesis used t test. The result of test score
shows that the experimental class got higher score that is 76,41 compared
with the control class got score 69,95. Based on the t test there is real
difference between result of study of learning using pictures as media and
learning that is not using pictures as media. Consequently, learning writing
narrative text using pictures as media is more effective when it is applied in
the process of learning English than the conventional learning (a class which
is not given the same treatment).3
From the previous research above, the similaritis with this thesis is
using pictures as media but different in skill focus and some differences in
collecting the data. In this research, the writer conducts the research dealing
with the effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening comprehension
skill of narrative texts for the eighth grade of SMP N 31 Semarang. The
researcher also uses colorful and attractive pictures.
B. Pictures in Language Learning
F.L. Billows suggests that visuals can be divided into three main
groups:
a) 2-dimensional aids – include wide variety of pictures and drawings,
such as all kind of pictures, postcards, posters and magazines, maps and
plans, tables, charts, diagrams, graphs, mind maps and time lines,

b) 3-dimensional aids which mean teacher‟s and students‟ body language
(mimes, gestures, facial expression, acting a situation, puppets)
c) other visual aids - almost everything that presents information visually
and is used in teaching process. These are realia such as a calendar, a
clock, a mirror, toys and art: (paintings, albums, sculptures).
As has been already stated, visual aids have many different forms, but
they have something in common – they mean all events of human
communication which transcend spoken or written language. They are used as
a medium of conveying a message in iconic code and play important role in a
communication system.4
Picture is description that gives you an idea in your mind of what
something is like, give somebody the information they need to be able to to
understan a situation.5
Pictures is one of the variety of teaching aids which is used to explain
language meaning construction, engage students in a topic, or as the basis of a
whole activity. In teaching listening, teachers can use pictures whether drawn,
taken fom books, newspaper and magazine, or photographs to facilitate
learning.6
Pictures provide an interesting way to extend textbook activities. Due
to space and cost limitations, a textbook might provide simple line drawings
and three to five instances for learners to practice target language elements.
Picture activities add variety and new ways of interaction in adult ESL
classrooms. Furthermore, pictures provide a vehicle around which students

can jump off into non-scripted, free form conversation as they discuss the
pictures themselves or connections that pictures make to the learners‟ lives.7
According to the explanation above the writer concludes that picture
as media are not new things in instructional world. They help arouse the idea
imagination. The use of picture can give a great help to a teacher in a class.
Picture is very simple; because it can be drawn, printed, or photograpical
processed in any size, and color and also it can be correlated with a lesson
and real life. Picture which is used in formal instruction should be simple,
clean, easily seen by the class and have one main point. Pictures are one
recognized way of representing a real situation. By using pictures in teaching
listening, it is expected that this method can give better result and can
increase Junior High School student‟s motivation to master listening skill.
a. Types of Pictures
According to Jeremy Harmer, pictures can be in form of flashcard
(it is a small card which we can hold up for students to see. Flashcard is
particularly useful for “drilling” grammar items, for cueing different
sentences, or practicing vocabulary), large wall pictures (it is big enough
for everyone to see detail. Sometime teachers use large wall pictures when
pointing to detail of a picture to elicit response), cue cards (it is small card
which students use in pairs or group work. Teachers put students in pair of
groups and give them some cards so that when a student picks up the top
cue card in a pile he or she will say a sentence that the card suggests),
photographs or illustrations (it is a photo or an image that depicts a
situation or people in action. The teacher uses it to make the situation or
the action clear. Photograph can be found in the book, newspaper,
magazine, etc.), and projected slide (in multimedia class, the teacher also
uses it to teach. Sometimes the teacher uses it to show the images in the
big form).8

b. Pictures as Media
Teacher always used pictures or graphics, whether drawn, taken
from books, newspaper and magazine or photograph to facilitate their
teaching and learning process .9
As a teaching media, pictures have important roles to create
students‟ creativity. Teaching media is part of integral in the educational
system. There are many kinds of media that is used during the teaching
learning process. The use of media must be based on most appropriate
choice. Consequently, it can increase meaning and function to support the
effectiveness and efficient in learning process.
ESL best practices support the use of pictures with adult learners.
In their article Beginning to Work with Adult English Language Learners:
Some Considerations MaryAnn Cunningham Florez and Miriam Burt
described instructional approaches that support second language
development in adults. They write:
Use visuals to support your instruction. English language
learners need context in their learning process. Using
gestures, expressions, pictures, and realia makes words and
concepts concrete and connections more obvious and
memorable.
Similarly, Grace Massey Holt, in her article, Teaching Low-Level
Adult ESL Learners, includes “pictures or photographs: personal,
magazine, and others” as the third item in her list of appropriate classroom
materials for beginning level ESL learners.10
From the explanation above, the writer concludes that it is very
important for the teachers to select media in teaching and learning process.
The pictures as a media are going to be used to see the students‟ reactions
espesially in improving their ideas in learning process. Teachers can know
9Jeremy Harmer, How to Teach English,p. 134.
10Jane C. Miller, Picture-Based Activities for English Language Learning, p.4.
12
about how far students can improve their idea, for example in the listening
class, pictures can be used to explore students‟ ability in listening
comprehension of a story, passage or text.
Pictures is one of the media that can be used in language teaching.
It means that pictures also can be used for teaching listening. In this study
the writer use pictures that are appropriate with Junior High school
because those kinds of pictures are colorful, interesting and it can make
students feel corious with the materials.
Pictures are kind of media that can help the teachers draw the
students interest and arise their motivation to learn. If the students are
motivated, they will participate actively and will learn active during the
teaching learning process. Pictures may used for individual study, for
display on bulletin board and flannel board, in exhibits, and for projection
when group of students need to look at some pictures at the same time.
Pictures may tell a story, present an event, describe a scence, reveal
person, or show how to do something. This research is implementation of
pictures that tell a story.
Because of the object of this research is Junior High School
students and the teacher needs something that is interesting and attracting
in teaching them. By showing pictures, students can focus on their
activities or they will be interested in learning or they should be able to try
to understand picture about. It can be used to create situation for English
classroom more freely. Picture can help the students to understand the
material easily and motivate the students in teaching and learning process
also. So the writer using pictures as their media in this research. That is
can make the students interesting and can improve their listening
comprehension.
c. Teaching Listening with Pictures
There are several methods in teaching learning listening. Picture is
one of the ways to explain a real situation. It is very simple visual aids that
can be picked up from the magazine, newspaper, book, calender, etc.
13
Picture can play a key role in motivating students, contextualizing the
language they are used, giving them a reference and in helping to
discipline the activity. Pictures are one kind of media that can help the
teacher draw the students‟ interest and built their motivation. If the
students are motivated, they will participate actively and will learn hard
during the teaching learning process.
According to Gerlack and Elly, there are some advantages of the
pictures as follows: Pictures are inexpensive and widely available, they
provide common experiences for an entire group, pictures can help to
prevent and correct misconceptions, they help to focus attention and to
develop critical judgment, they are easily manipulated. Besides giving
advantages in teaching and learning process, pictures or photography have
also some weakness as follows: Sometimes smaller to show in big class, it
could not show move, the children not always know how to read picture
(interpretation), teacher needs extra time to prepare pictures, teacher
should give handout the photocopied pictures to the students.11
d. The Relationship Between Using Pictures with Listening
Comprehension Skill
Picture is description that gives you an idea in your mind of what
something is like, give somebody the information they need to be able to
to understan a situation.12
Pictures as media that can be used in teaching
learning process. Pictures is one of the media that can be used in language
teaching. It means that pictures also can be used for teaching listening.
Listening comprehension is the process of understanding speech in
a first or second language. The study of listening comprehension in second
language learning focuses on the role of individual linguistic units
(phoneme, words, grammatical stucture) as well as the role of the listener‟s

expectations, the situation and context, background knowledge and topic.
Listening is conceived of as an active process in which listeners select and
interpret information which comes from auditory and visual clues in order
to define what is going on and what the speakers are try to express.13
From the explanation above, pictures have relationship with
listening comprehension skill as media in teaching learning process. Using
pictures as a treatment in the learning activities can be applied by
understanding some steps. Firstly, the teacher explains the narrative text
itself, then shows a picture while telling the picture containing the material
especially narrative texts. After that the teacher asks the students to listen
the teacher‟s story telling in order to they understand what the teacher tell.
Secondly, the teacher devides the students into several groups and gives
the picture to each group. Then the teacher tells the story for the second
time and the students listen while rearranging the pictures. The last step,
the teacher evaluates the students‟ assignments.14
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that pictures
have an important role and advantages in teaching learning process in
order to make the students still focus and understand the material easily.
That is also can make the students interest to learn the material. Picture is
one of the media in teaching learning process to support the presentation of
the material by emphasizing the students‟ visual sense. With the exercise
that is designed to develop particular skills in listening, picture can be used
to provide either the general context or to illustrate particular points. In
addition, picture can be used by the students to help their understanding
non verbally.
Therefore, the writer chooses picture as media. Pictures are more
understandable than words. The responses to pictures are often
considerably faster than words. Picture gives so many advantages in
teaching and learning process for both teacher and students.

C. Listening Comprehension Skill
Listening comprehension skill can be defined as the ability to recall
and understand information might be presented orally. This information
might be presented through a book , filmstrip, video, or felt board set.
Listening comprehension is an act of information processing in which the
listener is involved in bidirectional communication, or unidirectional
communication, and/or autodirectional communication.15
Listening is the first skill that is learnt since we were born.
Listening is an active purposeful processing of making sense what we hear,
listening is different from hearing.16
Listening and speaking are oral skill
while reading and writing are written skill. On one hand listening skill and
reading are receptive skill because focuses on receiving information from
the outside source.
Listening plays an important role in language acquisition. The
achievement of listening skill will help students to develop the other
language skill. Rost states that progress in listening will provide a basic for
development of other language skill.17
Listening as comprehension is the traditional way of thinking about
the nature of listening. Indeed, in most methodology manuals listening, and
listening comprehension are synonymous. This view of listening is based on
the assumption that the main function of listening in second language
learning is to facilitate understanding of spoken discourse.18
As the
foundation for other skills, listening is being the important skill to teach.

Hegelson stated that listening is an active purposeful processing of making
sense what we hear; listening is different from hearing.19
From the explanations above the writer concludes that listening
comprehension is understand information might be presented orally.
Listening is activity of hearing attentively to comprehend sound and words
from the speaker. Listening is the first skill that is learnt by young learners
or students in language learning. Listening comprehension is important for
students, especially in a communicative language environment where
activities often revolve around interactions between English language
learners.
a. Teaching Listening Comprehension
Teachers should encompass the four skills: speaking, listening,
reading and writing. Listening skill as the basic for the development of
speaking, plays an important role in order that communication will take
place. Appropriate responses cannot be given unless listeners understand
what someone else is saying. Progress in listening will provide a basic for
the development of other language skills. By becoming aware of the links
between the listening and other skills and by consistently pointing out
these links to the students, teachers can assist the students in their overall
language development. Listening is a receptive skill. Listening is an
independent skill that must be learned and practiced regularly. Many
people think that listening is passive, but it is not true. Students can be
active in listening activities.20
Listening comprehension is primarily a matter of developing
appropriate, efficient comprehension strategies. A typical lesson
sequence in current teaching materials involve a three part lesson

Mc Graw Hill, 2007), p.5
17
sequence consisting of pre-listening, while listening and post-listening
and contains activities which link buttom-up and top-down listening.21
When teaching Junior High school students, the teacher should
make the learning process enjoying because children love to play and
learn best when they are enjoying it. By using pictures the writer expect
that students can improve their listening skill with learning by playing.
So, they will enjoy and easy to receive the material.
In every language, listening is important to convey the messages to
the others in communication, so we can express wants, desires, and
feelings. Listening is one of component, which support the speakers in
communication, whenever we want to communicate with others using a
language, we should listen to the speaker. So listening is very crucial to
convey ideas, thoughts, and also feelings.
b. Teaching Listening For Junior High School
Listening as one of the four language skills has always formed part
of the syllabus in the teaching of English. The process of listening itself
is the invisible, inaudible process of internalizing meaning from the
auditory signals being transmitted to the ear and brain. And product of
listening is an spoken or written response from the students that indicates
correct or incorrect auditory processing.22
It is importance to have much practice in listening besides
speaking, reading and writing. Every teacher of language knows that
one‟s oral production ability other than monologues, speeches, reading
aloud, and the like is only as good as one‟s listening comprehension
ability.23

Teaching listening for Junior High School is not an easy job,
because the range of age of Junior High School students varies between
thirteen to fifteen years old. They can be named teenagers. Teens are in
between childhood and adulthood, so it is the period of transition and
growing. In this period, they will experience the confusion, self-
consciousness, and changing bodies and minds. They will be very
sensitive to how others perceive their changing physical and emotional
selves along with their mental capabilities. One of the most important
concerns of the secondary school teacher is to keep self-esteem high by:
Avoiding embarrassment of students at all costs, affirming each person‟s
talents and strengths, allowing mistakes and other errors to be accepted,
de-emphasizing competition between classmates, encouraging small-
group work where risks can be taken more easily by a teen.24
Based on the statement above, the writer concludes that the
teacher‟s role is very needed to motivate students in teaching learning
process while students in a transition period. Therefore they will have
good discipline and responsibility, if a teacher encourages their students
to learn in writing in the target language.
Therefore, teens are a period of change, new experiences learning,
and instability life. Teacher should provide them with opportunities to
explore and experiment in a stable and supportive atmosphere. Teacher‟s
job is to provoke intellectual activity by helping them be aware of
constructing idea, then let them to resolve it by themselves even though
still with the teacher‟s guidance.
The methods for teaching should maintain the characteristic of
students in the order that the students can learn the target language
optimally. In language learning context, it is believed that children will
learn a foreign language more effectively under certain conditions.
Teaching learning should be fun and natural.

c. Types of Listening
According to Michael Rost, there are three types of listening:
Intensive listening, refers to listening for precise sounds, words, phrases,
grammatical units and pracmatic units. Although listening intensively is
not often called for in everyday situations, the ability to listen intensively
whenever required is an essential component of listening proficiency.
The prototypical intensive listening activity is dictation, the transcription
of the exact words that a speaker uters. Dictation is often claimed to be
an excellent integrative test because it involves listening, vocabulary,
grammar, and the ability to make inferences from context. Selective
listening, selective listening tasks encourage learners to approach
genuine spoken texts by adopting a strategy of focusing of specific
information rather than trying to understand and recall everything.
Reconstruction of the spoken material based on selective listening tasks
can help students link selective to global listening. Interactive listening,
refers to listening in collaborative conversation. Collaborative
conversation, in which learners interact with each other or with native
speakers, is established as a vital means of language development.25
d. Skill Required to Have Good Listening Skill
In order to have good listening skill, there are some important
things that must be concerned, they are:
1. Considering the context is essential to understanding the message
2. The ability of paraphrasing and use the own words in verbalizing
to understand the message
3. Don‟t respond to just the meaning of the words, look for the
felings or intent beyond the words
4. Know when to quit using active listening.
5. Focus on the speaker‟s said and control your own emotions26

D. Narrative Texts
A first attempt at a minimalist definition of narrative might be a
perceived sequence of non randomly connected events. Narrative may have
several definitions according to its context such as in the term of genre or in
the term of sequence of activity. These are several definitions of narrative.
The first definition is narrative from sequence of activity; narrative is a
recounting of things spatiotemporally like the present teller and addressee
which refers to reader or listener. Besides, there is distance between tale and
topic.27
One kind of story text is narrative. It tells a story using spoken or
written language. It can be communicated using radio, television, books,
newspapers or computer files. Pictures, facial expressions, and camera angles
can also be used to help communicate meaning.28
Narrative is kind of genre which has social function to amuse,
entertain and to deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways:
Narrative deals with problematic events which lead to a crisis or a turning
point of some kind, which in turn finds a resolution. Based on competency-
based curriculum 2004, the aim of narrative is to entertain and amuse the
listeners and readers with the real experience or fancy.29
A narrative tells a story, a series of connected incident, or an action.
Narrative deals with problematic events lead to a crisis which in turn finds a
resolution. Every genre has its own structure depends on the function of the
text. It is because, language exists to fulfill certain functions and that these
functions will determine the structure of the text and the language content.30

A narrative is a perceived sequence of non randomly connected
events, typically involving, as the experiencing agonist, humans
or quasi humans. Or other sentient beings, from whose
experience we humans can „learn‟
This definition introduces;one or more foregrounded individuals as
experiencers and the idea of addressees learning for narratives.31
One way in understanding narrative text is by identifying the generic
structure of that text. The simple generic structure that is taught in Junior
High School is devided into the following three elements, namely orientation,
complication, and the last event or resolution. Orientation, in the introduction
or orientation the writer or narrator explains where the story happened. In this
level the writer also used to produce atmosphere so that make the readrs are
persuaded to follow the story. In other words, it also has a function as the
stimulus to the readers the narrator‟s literature. By reading the the
introduction of the text readers will understand first the contents of the text
before they read it. Complication, in this part, the crisis arises. It is the climax
of the narrative. In the middle of the story, generally, the narrator shows the
complication. Complication makes the story more interesting because the
main character is prevented to reach his or her wanted. In this part narrator
brings up the issues occured in the story. Complications are the description of
real life and tell the readers that every issues or problems can be soved. And
the last event or Resolution, after spelling many issues in the climax of the
narrative, the narrator then narrates to the readers the resolution of issues or
the problems.
According to the 2004 curriculum, last event (resolution) is the crisis
which is resolved, for better or worse. A satisfying narration will give the
readers the resolution of the problem or complication. Generally, the
resolution is placed in the end of narration, but sometimes the narrator will
place other issues or complication after he or she presents the resolution of
31
Michael Toolan, Narrative : A Critical Linguistic Introduction, 2nd ed, p. 8
22
the problem. It is used to make the story does not come to the end. In short,
resolution is the ending of the story.
There are also typical linguistic features common to narrative. Based
on curriculum, those features are: They are sequenced in time and are often
signaled by the conjunctions or connectives that are used, like once upon a
time, one day, then, before, soon, and others. They usually use “action” verbs
that describe what people do. It is usually past form, like stayed, climbed,
carried out, and others. They often contain dialogue and saying verbs that
explain how people spoke, said, replied, and others. They use adjectives that
make a noun phrase like long black hair, two red apples, and others. They use
adverbs and adverbial phrases that refer to setting of action like here, in the
mountain, happily ever after, and others. They use nouns like stepsister,
housework, and others.32
Grammar is one of language competences which have an important
role in communication. This is very reasonable since studying grammar is
studying something which tells us how to speak and write correctly.
Narrative text is a story that tells about something in the past.
Consequently, the correct tense to use is past tense. Simple past tense is the
form of time that is used to explain the event at a certain time in the past
simply, and the time has known. And time signals which are often used with
the simple past tense are: yesterday, yesterday morning, the day before
yesterday, last night, last week, last month, last year, last Sunday, last Friday,
Last January, last March, a moment ago, an hour ago, a few minute ago, two
days ago, several days ago, a few days ago, a week ago, a month ago, a year
ago, this morning, this afternoon, just now.
E. Hypothesis
Hypothesis is the assumption that possibly true or possibly wrong.
Hypothesis is the provisional answer to the problem of the research that can
be proven through the data that was collected. It is should be tested and
32
Mark Anderson&Kathy Anderson, Text Types in English, p. 67
23
proven by the researcher.33
Because the hypothesis is the provisional answer,
it must be proven through investigation or analysis of the data to receive
proof whether the hypothesis could be accepted or not received.
In this research, the hypothesis is there is a significant difference in
listening comprehension skill of narrative texts improvement between
students who have been taught using pictures and those who have been taught
without using pictures. In this case the listening comprehension skill
improvement of the students taught by using pictures is higher.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Design
Before doing the research, the researcher arranged a research design.
Considering the purposes of the research and the nature of the problems, this
research is quantitative one. In this research, the researcher used true
experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design) to identify the
effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening comprehension skill of
narrative texts at the eighth grade of SMP N 31 Semarang in the academic
year of 2011/2012.
There are two groups in pretest-posttest control group design that are
chosen randomly, and then they are given pretest to know the initial condition
whether there is a difference between experiment group and control group.
The sketch of this design can be seen as follow:1
Explanation:
R : Experimental and control class that are chosen randomly
O1 & O3 : Pre-test of experimental and control class

pictures)
B. Setting and Time
The writer conducted the research at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri
31 Semarang in the second semester of the academic year of 2011/2012. She
conducted this research from 2nd
of April 2012 to 21th
of April 2012.

1. Population
Population is all the subject of the research.2 In other word,
population is the big research group chosen to represent all members
of group. The population of the study was the seventh grade students
of SMP N 31 Semarang in the academic year of 2011/2012. The
eighth grade students of SMP N 31 Semarang is divided into eight
classes. There are class VIII A, VIII B, VIII C, VIII D, VIII E, VIII F,
VIII G, and VIII H. There are 30-32 students in each class. The total
number of the population is 246 students.

1. Sample
Sample is representative of population that will be observed.3The
writer took sample in this research because the respondents are more than
100. The respondents are less than 100, it is better to take them all as
sample.4 The important thing in this study is the aim of sampling is to
construct a sample that can represent the entire population. It means that
sample must be able to represent the whole data of population.
Sample in this research is class VIII F as control class, VIII D as
experimental class. VIII F as control class and VIII D as experimental are
selected by random.
2. Sampling technique
In this research, the writer used simple random sampling
technique. It is simple because the way of taking sample from population
is done randomly without considering the strata or level of the population.
Simple random sampling technique is used if the member of population is
homogeny.5 The researcher chooses two classes as sample in this research,
they are class VIII F as the control class and VIII D as the experimental
class.
In getting sample of the research, the writer took some
procedures. Because there are eight classes at eighth grade of SMP N 31
Semarang, the researcher wrote down number 1 to 8 on small piece of

paper. The small piece of paper was placed in a box and well mixed, and a
sample of the required size was selected.
D. Research Variable
Variable is a variation object of the study. There are two types of
variables: dependent variable (y) and independent variable (x). The dependent
variable is the variable of focus or the central variable on which other
variables will act if there is any relationship. The independent variable is
selected by researcher to determine the relationship with the dependent
variable.6 So, the variables in this study are:
1. Independent Variable (x).
Independent variable in this research is the use of pictures to teach
narrative text
2. Dependent Variable (y).
Dependent variable in this study is the listening skill of narrative
text achievement score of students at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 31

E. Data Collection Technique
The researcher must use instrument to get the better data. The instrument
of the research is a tool or facility that is used by researcher for collecting data
in order to get better result. To get the accurate data, in this study the
researcher chose some instruments for collecting the data, they were:
1. Test
In simple terms, test is as a method which is used to measure
competence, knowledge, intelligence, and ability of talent which is
possessed by individual or group to collect data.7 The instrument of the
test in this research is objective test. By using objective test, it can measure
how students’ mastery on the material.

Objective test is frequently criticized on the grounds that they are
simpler to answer than subjective test. Objective tests are divided into
transformation, completion, combination, addition, rearrangement,
matching, correct and incorrect (true/false) and multiple choice.8 The
researcher used one test type only. It was multiple-choice. It means
students have to choose the right answer among a, b, c, or d.
The researcher used multiple choice forms. The choice of the test
type is based on the consideration that multiple choice test are:9
a. The technique of scoring is easy.
b. It was impossible for students to avoid the grammar point being
evaluated.
c. This is sensitive measure of achievement multiple-choice language
test; it allows teachers to diagnose the students’ problems.
In this research, the researcher conducted pre-test and post test.
Pre-test was given before the teacher taught new material by using
pictures, the teacher asked students to do the test related in the materials
that they was known by them before. Pre-test was given to the
experimental and control classes in same way. This test was given before
the experiment run.
Post-test was given to the experiment class and control class. It was
given in order to know students’ achievement after they were taught
pictures (experimental class) and without pictures (control class). In this
case, students were asked to do the objective test about narrative text.
The score of students’ achievement can be calculated by using this
following formula:10

2. Documentation
Documentation is tool aiming at identifying documents or to the field
of study devoted to the study of documents.11
In this research, the
researcher will get the data from the school. While during the experiment,
the researcher gets the documentation from the teacher’s note. In this
research, the researcher will get the data from the school.
In this research, the researcher got the syllabus, lesson plan of
teaching and learning process, report of students’ development, teachers’
name list, and sketch of SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic year of 2011/
2012. The documentation is used to know data of the students and teachers
in the school. To get the result of documentation easily and systematically,
the data was gained by the help of English teacher of related in school.
The steps of collecting the data by getting documentation are as
follows:
a. The researcher got the resources from the teacher’s note while conduct
the experimental research. The researcher collected the documentation
was gained by the help of the English teacher.
b. The researcher collected the data of students’ development, teachers’
name list, and sketch of SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic year of
2011/ 2012. The data was taken when the researcher conducted the
research. The documentation that help researcher to collect the data is
needed in this research.
In this study, the researcher collected the data of students’ name
list, teachers’ name list from the academic office, sketch of the school and
organization structure of the official SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic

F. Technique of Data Analysis
1. Try Out-Test
A try out test is the result will be used to make sure that the
measuring instrument has such characteristics as validity and reliability of
instrument test. The instrument to be tried out was the composition test.
The result of test was used to find out the validity and reliability, difficulty
level and also the discrimination power of each item.12
The tryout was given to VIII B of the students of SMPN 31
Semarang. After finishing the test, the answer sheets were collected in
order to be scored. From 25 items test of tryout, some items were chosen
as the instrument of the test. The choosing of the instrument had been done
by considering: validity, reliability, the degree of test difficulty and
discriminating power.
a. Validity
A valid test is one that in fact measures what it claims to be
measuring.13
The result was consulted to critical score for r-product
moment. If the obtained coefficient of correlation was higher than the
critical score for r-product moment, it means that a paragraph was
valid at 5% alpha level significance. The validity is an important
quality of any test. It is a condition in which a test can measure what is
supposed to be measured.
The validity of an item can be known by doing item analysis. It
is counted using product – moment correlation formula:
2222 YYNXXN
YXXYNrxy
rxy : The correlation coefficient between X variable and Y
variable
N : The number of students
12
Suharsimi Arikunto, Prosedur penelitian Suatu Pendekatan Praktik, p.167.
13
H. Douglas Brown, Language Assessment: Principles and Classroom Practices, p.22.
31
X : The number of each item score
Y : The number of total score
Calculation result of rxy is compared with r table of product
moment by 5% degree of significance. If rxy is higher than r table ,
the item of question is valid.14
b. Reliability
Reliability means “consistent and dependent”.15
Besides
validity, a good test should have reliability as well. Reliability is
necessary characteristic of any good test. The method is used to find
out reliability involved scoring of first and last part of the items
separately by making table. To get the coefficient of correlation, the
researcher applies the product-moment formula and then continued to
the spearman-brown formula. The formula of product moment as
follow:
2222
yyxx
yxxyrXY
In which,
r XY : Coefficient of correlation between the scores of the first
and last part of the items.
N : The number of students / subject participating in the test/
testee.
X
: The score of first part.
Y : The score of last part.16
After finding r XY the computation is continued to the
spearman-brown formula as follow:

211
In which,
11r : The reliability of the instrument.
xyr : Coefficient of the correlation between the first and last part. 17
Calculation result of r11
is compared with r table of product
moment by 5% degree of significance. If r11
is higher than r table ,
the item of question is reliable.
c. Degree of Test Difficulty
A good question is a question that is not really difficult and
not really easy. Formula for degree of test difficulty is: 18
N
RFV
In which,
FV : The index of difficulty.
R : Number of students who answered the item correctly.
N : Number of students.19
The level of difficulty of each item was determined by
using this following categorization:
FV < 0.00 : very difficult.
0.01 - 0.30 : difficult.
0.31 - 0.70 : medium.
0.71 - 1.0 : easy.
FV > 1.0 : very easy.20
d. Discriminating Power

The discriminating power is a measure of the effectiveness of a
whole test. It is used to know how accurate the question differ higher
subject and lower subject.21
The formula for discriminating power is
Split Half:
N
LCorrectUCorrectD
In which,
D : The discrimination index.
U : The number of the students in the upper group who answered
item correctly.
L : The number of the students in the lower group who answered
item correctly.
N : The number of the students who answered correctly in one
group.
The criteria of discriminating power as follow:
D 0.00 : Very Poor.
0.01 - 0.20 : Poor.
0.21 - 0.40 : Medium.
0.41 - 0.70 : Good.
0.71 - 1.00 : Excellent.22
2. Pre-Test
Pre-test was given before the treatments. The researcher
determined the statistic analysis technique whether groups that have
normal distribution. If the data have normal and homogenity distribution,
the treatment and teaching can be conducted to both classes.
a. Normality Test
It is used to know the normality of the data that is going to be
analyzed whether groups that have normal distribution or not. The
normality test with Chi-square is done to find out the distribution data.

Step by step Chi-square test is as follows:
1) Determine the range (R); the largest data reduced the smallest.
2) Determine many interval classes (K) with formula:
K = 1+ (3, 3) log n
3) Determine the length of the class, using the formula:
P = classofnumber
range
4) Make a frequency distribution table.
5) Determines the class boundaries (bc) of each class interval.
6) Calculating the average Xi ( X ), with the formula:

15) Determining the distribution normality with test criteria:
If countX 2 > tableX 2 so the data is not normal distribution and
the other way if the countX 2 < tableX 2 so the data is normal
distribution.23
b. Homogeneity Test
It was meant to get the assumption that sample of research
came from a same condition or homogenous. It is used to know
whether experiment class and control class, those are taken from
population that have same variant or not.
The steps as follows:
1) Calculate variants both classes (experimental and control classes),
with the formula:
And
2) Determine Vk
VbF
Where:
Vb : Bigger Varian
Vk : Smaller Varian
Determine dk = ( 11 n ) : ( 12 n )
3) Determine tableF with = 5%

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Descriptions of Research Findings
To find out the effectiveness of using pictures to improve listening
comprehension skill of narrative texts on the students’ achievement in class
VIII SMPN 31 Semarang, the writer did an analysis of quantitative data.
After conducting the research, she got the data of research finding that is
obtained by using the test of experimental class and control class after
conducting different treatment of learning process in both classes.
The implementation of this study was divided in two classes, namely
the experimental class (VIII D) and the control class (VIII F). Before the
activities were conducted, the writer determine the materials and lesson plan
of learning. Learning in the experimental class was conducted by using
pictures as the media, while in control class using the conventional learning
(without using pictures as media).
Test was given before and after the students follow the learning
process that was provided by the writer. After the data were collected, the
writer analyzed them to prove the truth of the hypothesis that had been
formulated. However, before the analysis was done, first the writer scored the
results of the test that had been given to the students.
Before items were given to the students, the researcher gave tryout test
for try-out class on 7th
April 2012 to analyze validity, reliability, difficulty
level and also the discrimination power of each item. The researcher prepared
25 items as the instrument of the test. Test was given to know the validity,
reliability, degree of test difficulty, and discriminating power of test items of
try-out test in control class that was provided by the researcher.
In this research finding of try out test, the researcher used r-product
formula to analyze validity. The researcher applied the spearman-brown
formula which was combined with product- moment formula to analyze
39
reliability instrument. The degree of test difficulty used difficulty level
formula by considered five levels of difficulty. The last analysis of try-out test
was discriminating power by divided into two groups; lower group and upper
group.
The researcher gave pre-test on 24th
April 2012 in control group and
14th
April 2012 in experimental students. The questions consisted of 20 items
were stated valid according to try-out analysis. After giving pre-test, the
researcher determined the materials and lesson plans of learning activities.
Pre-test conducted to both groups to know that two groups were normal and
homogeny.
After knowing the control class and experimental class had same
variant. The researcher conducted treatment in experimental class twice in
week for 40 minutes each meeting. The first treatment conducted on 16th
April
2012 and the second treatment conducted on 22nd
April 2012 by using pictures
to teach listening comprehension skill of narrative texts.
The control class was not taught using pictures; just explaining the
material orally based on the teacher’s lesson plan without gave variation in
learning process. The teacher also asked students just to do the assignment
until they felt bored in the class. The teaching also conducted twice a week on
17th
April 2012 and 20th
April 2012 for 40 minutes for each meeting.
The evaluation of the research found some obstacles in teaching and
learning process in control class. The first was the experimental research
conducted when the English teacher can not present in the class, so the
students felt bad mood to build the better atmosphere because they had not
recognized the researcher yet. Moreover, the students did not concentrate into
the material because they regard that researcher was not their teacher. Students
in experimental class also felt bored in beginning of teaching and learning
atmosphere, but they got a great potential to build creativity and could accept
materials of the lessons easily in warm atmosphere of the classroom using
pictures as the media in teaching and learning process.
40
From the different situation, the researcher evaluated that the
researcher should be humorist to recognize students personally. The teacher
also had to know the names each student and they will do the teacher’s
instruction if the teacher points them. This evaluation was done in the second
meeting of teaching in control class and giving treatment in experimental class
and could be as reference on the other occasion of the future teaching.
After the researcher gave treatments in experimental class and
conventional teaching in control class, the researcher gave post-test which
consisted 20 test items which approximately finished on 30 minutes. Giving
post test on 22th
April 2012 both experimental class and control class.
To analyze the data of test result, the first known the beginning of data
from experimental class and control class that is taken from the pre-test value.
And after the control and experimental conduct the learning process, then both
of the class is given a test to obtain the data that will be analyzed.
B. The Data Analysis and Hypothesis Test
1. The Data Analysis
a. The Data Analysis of Try-out Test
This discussion covered validity, reliability, level of difficulty
and discriminating power.
1. Validity of Instrument
As mentioned in chapter III, validity refers to the precise
measurement of the test. In this study, item validity was used to
know the index validity of the test. To know the validity of
instrument, the researcher used the Pearson product moment
formula to analyze each item.
It was obtained that from 25 test items; there were 20 test
items which were valid and 5 test items which were invalid. They
were on number 5, 6, 17, 22 and 25. They were invalid with the
reason the computation result of their rxy value (the correlation of
score each item) was lower than their rtable value.
41
The following was the example of item validity
computation for item number 1 and for the other items would use
the same formula.
The following was the example of item validity
computation for item number 1 and for the other items would use

From the computation above, the result of computing
validity of the item number 1 was 0.3321. After that, the researcher
consulted the result to the table of r Product Moment with the
number of subject (N) =30 and significance level 5% it was 0.361.
Since the result of the computation was higher than r in table, the
index of validity of the item number 1 was considered to be valid.
The list of the validity of each item can be seen in appendix 9.
Before computing the reliability, the researcher had to
compute product moment formula ( xyr ) with the formula below:
N = 30 313XY

2. Reliability of Instrument
A good test must be valid and reliable. To get the
coefficient of correlation, the researcher applied the product-
moment formula and then continued to the spearman-brown
formula. The formula of product moment as follow:
Before computing the reliability, the researcher had to
compute product moment formula ( xyr ) with the formula below:
N = 30 1611XY

From the computation above, it was found out that 11r (the
total of reliability test) was 0.815 whereas the number of subjects
was 30 and the critical value for r-table with significance level 5%
was 0.361. Thus, the value resulted from the computation was
higher than its critical value. It could be concluded that the
instrument used in this research was reliable.
3. The level of Difficulty
The following was the computation of the level difficulty
for item number 1 and for the other items would use the same
formula.
R = 13+7
N = 30

It was proper to say that the index difficulty of the item
number 1 above can be said as the medium category, because the
calculation result of the item number 1 was in the interval 0.70
00,1 FR
4. The Discriminating Power
The discrimination power of an item indicated the extent to
which the item discriminated between the tested, separating the
more able tested from the less able. The index of discriminating
power told us whether those students who performed well on the
whole test tended to do well or badly on each item in the test. To
do this analysis, the number of try-out subjects was divided into
two groups, upper and lower groups. They were upper and lower
group.

e. The average score of pre test and post test of the experimental class and
control class.
The data were obtained from the students’ achievement scores of
the listening comprehension skill of narrative texts. They were pre test
and post test scores from the experimental and control classes. The
average score from the experimental class was 56.83 for the pre test and
48
68.00 for the post test. While the average score for the control class was
56.67 for the pre test and 62.33 for the post test. The following was the
simple table for the pre test and post test students’ average scores:

Experimental 56.83 68.00
Control 56.67 62.33
The more calculation can be seen in appendix 3 dan 4
Based on the table above, it can be seen that there was an
improvement of the students’ achievement in listening comprehension
skill on narrative text. Each class had different achievement. The
achievement of the experimental class was higher than the control class.
1. Analysis Phase First
It was done to know the normality and homogeneity of the initial data
in the experimental class and control class.

a) Normality Test of Pre-test
The normality test is used to know whether the data is normally
distributed or not. To find out the distribution data is used normality
test with Chi-square.
Ho : the data of normal distribution
Ha : the data of un normal distribution
With criteria, Ho accepted if countx2 < tablex2 with α = 5% and df =
k-3.

The more calculations can be seen in appendix 10 dan 11
Based on the analysis above it can be seen that countx2
both of class
is lower than tablex2 ( countx2 < tablex2 ), so Ho accepted. It can be
concluded that the distribution data of experiment and control class are
normal.
b) Homogeneity Test of Pre-test
The homogeneity test is used to know whether the group sample
that was taken from population is homogeneous or not.
Ho = 2
1 = 2

Fcount = 1.26
Based on the computation above it is obtained that Fcount is lower
than Ftable, so Ho accepted. It can be concluded that the data of pre test
from experimental and control class have the same variance or
homogeneous.
c) Testing the similarity of average of the initial data between
experimental and control class.
To test the difference of average, the writer used t-test.
Ho: 21

significant different of the average pre-test between experimental and
control class, because tcount at the reception area of Ho.
2. Analysis Phase End
It is done to answer hypothesis of this research. The data used are the
result of post tests of both classes. The experimental class taught by using
pictures as media and the control class taught without pictures.

The final analysis contains the normality test, homogeneity test and
the difference average test of post test.
a. Normality test of the Post-test
Ho : the data of normal distribution
Ha : the data of un normal distribution
With criteria, Ho accepted if countx2 < tablex2 with α = 5% and df =

The more calculations can be seen in appendix 12 and 13
Based on the computation above it is obtained that countx2
is
lower than tablex2 by α = 5% with df = 6-3 = 3. So it can be concluded
that the distribution data of post test of experimental and control class
are normal.
b. Homogeneity test of the post-test

Fcount = 2.73
Based on the computation above it is obtained that Fcount is higher
than Ftable, it means that Ho rejected. It can be concluded that data of
post test of experimental and control classes have not the same
variance or non homogeneous.
2. Hypothesis Test
Hypothesis test is used to know whether there is a difference
average on post test of experimental class and control class. The data
which is used to test the hypothesis is score post test both of class. To test
the difference of average used t-test.
Ho: 21 : it means there is no significant difference between the
listening comprehension skill improvement of students
who were taught by using pictures and who were taught
by lecturing (without using pictures)
Ha: 21 : it means there is significant difference between the
listening comprehension skill improvement of students
who were taught by using pictures and who were taught
by lecturing (without using pictures)

The more calculation can be seen in appendix 17.
Based on the computation above, it is obtained that the average of
post test of the experimental class who are taught by using pictures is
68.00 and standard deviation (s) is 9.88. While the average of post test
of the control class who are taught by lecturing or conventional
learning is 35.75 and standard deviation (s) is 5.98 with df = 30+30-2
= 58 by α = 5%, so obtained ttable = 1.67 from the result of calculation
t-test tcount = 2.688. It means that tcount is higher than ttable (tcount > ttable).
So Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.
Because tcount > ttable , it can be concluded that there is a significant
difference between experimental and control classes on post test, the
score of the experimental class is higher than the control class.
55
C. Discussion of The Research Findings
1. The score of initial ability ( Pre test)
Based on the calculations of normality and homogeneity test from
class VIII D as the experimental class and class VIII F as the control class,
both of classes are normal distribution and homogeneous.
2. The score of final ability (Post test)
The result of this research is obtained the average score of
experimental class was 68.00 which were higher than the result of control
class 62.33.
The average score of experimental class was 68.00 and standard
deviation (s) was 9.88. Teaching listening in experimental class by using
pictures as media to teach narrative texts can encourage the students to be
more active and motivated. Pictures as a teaching media that can create
situation in teaching listening more interesting and make the students
easier to understand the material. It can be seen on average score of
experimental class which better result than control class.
The average score of control class was 62.33 and standard deviation
(s) was 5.68. Teaching listening in control class by using conventional
learning or lecturing to teach listening of narrative texts make the students
feel bored with the material that is presented because the method too
monotone.
Based on the result of calculation t-test is obtained tcount: 2,688 and
ttable: 1,67 with α = 5 % and 58df . It shows that tcount > ttable (tcount
higher than ttable). So it means that there is a significant difference between
listening skill improvement of students taught by using pictures and taught
by lecturing or conventional learning in listening of narrative texts.
D. Limitation of the Research
The researcher realizes that this research had not been done optimally.
There were constraints and obstacles faced during the research process. Some
limits of this research were:
56
1. Relative short time of research makes this research could not be done
maximum.
2. The research was limited at SMPN 31 Semarang in the academic year of
2011/ 2012. So that when the same research will be gone in other schools,
it was still possible to get different result.
3. The implementation of the research process was less smooth; this was
more due to lack of experience and knowledge of the researcher.
Considering all those limitations, there is a need to do more research
about teaching listening skill on narrative text using the same or different
media. In the hope there will be more optimal result.
57
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusion
The conclusion of this research is drawn in accordance with the result
of the data analysis in the previous chapter. There are some significant
differences between experimental and control class. The average score for the
experimental class was 56.83 for the pre test and 68.00 for the post test. While
the average score for the control class was 56.67 for the pre test and 62.33 for
the post test. It means that there was an improvement of the students’
achievement in listening comprehension skill of narrative texts. Each class had
different achievement. The achievement of the experimental class was higher
than the control class.
In the result of post test of experimental class was 68.00 which where
higher than the control class 62.33. It means that teaching listening
comprehension skill of narrative texts by using pictures as a media was better
than the teaching listening comprehension skill of narrative texts without
pictures.
The result of the calculation using the t-test showed that tcount: 2.688
and ttable: 1.67 with α = 5 % and 58df . It means that tcount was higher than
ttable {2.688 > 1.67}. It was meant that Ha was accepted while Ho was
rejected. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the
students’ listening score of the eighth grade students of SMP N 31 Semarang
in academic year of 2011/ 2012 between students who have been taught
listening skill of narrative texts by using pictures and those who have been
taught by using a conventional learning or lecturing only.
From the explanation above, it concludes that the use of pictures is
effective to improve listening comprehension skill of narrative texts at the
eighth grade of SMP N 31 Semarang.
58
B. Suggestions
One of the constrains that the teacher may face in her duty was how to
make a students interested in her teaching or how to promote the students
interest to join the learning process well. If students have high interest in
following the teacher, it would not be so difficult for the teacher to teach the
lesson.
Based on the hold result of the study, the writer had some suggestions for
English teacher, students and next researcher as follow:
1. For the English Teacher
a. Pictures may become alternative media in teaching listening especially
in a narrative text. Using pictures to teach listening is a good innovation.
It can stimulate the students’ interest in materials. By using pictures, the
students easier to master the material.
b. The teacher should match the picture with the suitable material for
Junior High school students, so that the goal of the study can be
fulfilled.
c. The teacher can find the references of the pictures from magazine, book,
newspaper, internet, or make pictures by themselves based on their
creativities in order to get the students interest in listening activities.
d. Before teaching and learning process, the teacher should have prepared
the technique or media well. It means that before using pictures as a
media in teaching listening, it is better if the teacher check whether the
text can be classified as narrative text or not, whether the text is
appropriate to their level or not.
2. For the Students
a. The students should pay attention to the teacher when he or she gives
the English lesson.
b. The students encourage themselves to learn English especially listening
a narrative text.
3. For the next researcher
59
They can make this study as their reference to conduct other
researcher on the same field. They are also expected to be able to cover the
limitation about this, they can conduct a research with the same media but in
different genres. The writer hopes that the next researchers can prepare
everything as good as possible in doing research and can follow up this
research.

EE.. LLeeaarrnniinngg mmaatteerriiaallss::
Narrative text is a text that is a story like account of an event from the
past. There are many types of narrative text: fairy tale stories, folktales,
fables, myth etc.
Generic Structure:
Orientation : sets the scene and introduce the participants
Complication : this is part of the story when a crisis arises
Resolution : the complication may be resolved for better or
worse, this is a part of narrative where the complication is
shorted out or the problem is solved.
The purpose of a narrative text is to amuse or entertain the reader and to
deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways and deal with
problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of some kind,
which in turn finds a resolution.

Cinderella
Once upon a time, there was a bautiful girl named Cinderella. She
lived with her step mother and two step sisters. They were very bossy.
They made her do all the homework. One day an invitation to the ball
came to the family. Her stepsisters would not let her go. Cinderella was
sad because she wanted to go to the ball too. Her stepsisters went to the
ball without her.
Fortunately, the fairy Godmother came and helped her to get to the
ball. Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine
coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother
tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a
beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers.
At the ball, Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She
danced again and again with the king’s son.
Finally, The prince fell in love with her then married her. They
lived happily ever after.
