Abstract

Keywords: effectiveness, mime stories technique, listening comprehension ability The process of acquiring English language skill is very important and normally takes a lot of time, especially English listening skill. That is why listening is very important skill to be mastered by students. In fact, it’s very difficult to them to understand what they heard. The difficulty is caused by many factors varying from difference of sounds between the second language learners’ first language and the second language he or she is learning, his or her lack of vocabulary, and his or her grammatical unawareness. In this research, the researcher tries to help students to increase their ability in listening comprehension. On way to increase, their ability is by using mime stories. Mime stories is a technique to teach listening to the students. In mime stories the teacher tell the story and the students and the teacher do the actions. It again provides physical movement and gives the teacher a chance to play along with them. The formulation of the research problem are as follow: 1) How is the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before being taught by using mime stories? 2) How is the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten after being taught by using mime stories? 3) Is there any significant difference of the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before and after being taught by using mime stories? The objectives of this research are: 1) To find out the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before being taught by using mime stories. 2) To find out the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten after being taught by using mime stories. 3) To find out whether there is any significant difference of the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before and after being taught by using mime stories. The research design in this study is pre-experimental research that uses one group pre-test and post-test design with quantitative approach. The population of this study was all of Perwanida Kindergarten students on second semester. The sample was B class consisting of 30 students. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling. The data was got by administering pre-test and post-test and then analyzed by using paired sample T-test through SPSS 16.00. The result of data analysis shows that teaching listening by using mime stories technique is effective. It is proven from the result on means calculation that is statistically analyze by using SPSS 16.00. It shows that the mean of students’ pretest score is 52.00 while the students’ posttest score is 81.00. Based on the result of calculation students’ means, the researcher analysis it using paired sample t-test to find whether there a significant difference between pretest and posttest by using SPSS 16.00. The result of tcount is 13.135 and the significance value is 0.000. The interpretation on chapter IV stated that tcount is higher than ttable (13.135 >2.045) and significance value is lower than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected which states that there is no significant difference of the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before and after being taught by using mime stories is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) which states that there is significant difference of the listening comprehension ability of the B class at Perwanida Kindergarten before and after being taught by using mime stories is accepted. Therefore, mime stories technique is effective towards listening comprehension ability and it is suggested to be used in teaching listening skill.
