Chapter 4

Prototype

4.1 Introduction

In this chapter, the researcher will discuss the making of the music. The music was copied in a digital versatile disc (DVD). During the study, the researcher has to distribute six DVDs as the students will seat in groups throughout the teaching and learning process. The teaching aid constituted four parts. The first category is the setting, the second category is the characters, the third category is the plot summary, and the fourth part is comprised of all the exercises which can combine what the students had learned before.

Using Music to Teach

4.1.1 Setting

The type of music played will be a narrative music. There are four settings in the narrative music. The researcher distributes two B3 manila cards. The students have to write the settings (narrative music) down because they will also watch the concept of the story by being demonstrated in the visual music. There are three descriptions in each setting. After they had completed, the teacher will confirm whether the students have given the correct match.

4.1.2 Characters

The characters are just the same as the settings. There narrative music is comprised of six characters. Each character will have four descriptions. The method of using visual music is the same as articulated in the setting part.

4.1.3 Plot Summary

For the summary part, the same narrative music is watched by all the students. The students just have to watch and write down what the narrative in the sequence portrayed in the narrative music.

4.1.4. Reinforcement Exercises

In the last part, there are three exercises given. The first one is to narrate the story as stipulated in the music. The second one is True and False statement. The last one is the objective questions.

Data analysis

5.1 Introduction

This chapter focuses on data collected by the researcher. The data acquired is then analyzed to decide whether the hypothesis made is declined or acknowledged and the range to which the research had reached its objectives well.

5.2 Demographic Analysis

This study is carried out in a secondary school in Selangor region- S.M.K Jugra. Participants of this research study were form four students. The participants are then separated into two clusters: the control cluster and the experimental cluster. The control and experimental clusters comprise of 30 students each.

Table 5.1 Background of the Participants

As shown in the table above, there were two classes which participated in this research: 4S and 4T. 4S is the control cluster while 4T is the experimental cluster. In the control cluster, there are 17 male students (57%) and 13 female students (43%). In the experimental cluster, there were 14 male participants (47%) and 16 female participants (53%). In total there were 31 male participants and 29 female participants in this study. The bar graph below will indicate the number of participants based on the group and gender.

The y-axis represents the number of participants.

Modern Method of Teaching English

Group

This research took two weeks. There are five lessons each week. Each lesson took 35 minutes. Attendance of every lesson is perceived as a means of examining and determining the effect of conciseness towards the result of the study. The results attained by the control and experimental clusters in the prior-test and after-test were compiled and converted into grade A, B, C, D, and E. After that, the results would be differentiated to confirm whether there are any comparisons in the results between the control and experimental cluster.

5.3 Presentation of Results

In this research, scores were graded into: A, B, C, D, and E. Grade A, B, C, and D are regarded as pass while grade E is regarded as failed. The rating scale below will indicate the marks and grades for the pre-test and post-test.

Figure 5.3: Scores in prior-test and after-test for control group.

In accordance to the above table, 30 students participated in the prior-test and after-test. The lowest score is 28% in the prior-test for the control group. The lowest score is 51% in the after-test of the control cluster. The highest mark is 75% in the in the prior-test of the control cluster while the highest score in the after-test of the control cluster is 88%.
