This study was conducted applying Nana Sudjana (1989:86) theory.The research took place at MTs.Swasta IRA Medan. The sample consisted of class VII. Theinstruments employed in this study experimental research which consist of pre-test and post-test..The findings of the study were the quality of the developed technique as media viewed from theexperts is very good (88 %). Most students gave positive responses. Most students said that themethod was interesting and it could help them to write descriptive texts easily. The results of thetest show that the method improved their ability in writing descriptive paragraph (average score:80, 12).The scoring system was based on five aspects; namely content, organization, vocabulary,language use, mechanics. Therefore, the writer suggests that English teachers develop method asone of the creative way to improve the students’ ability in writing descriptive texts.","PeriodicalId":307860,"journal":{"name":"The Explora","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116308236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this thesis is to find out the effect of presentationpractice production on students’ English grammar competence by using computer assisted language learning. Thisstudy is an experimental research. The population of this study is the student class of X of SMK Parulian 1MEDAN. The number of students was 100 students. 40 students are taken as the sample. The first group isexperimental group which is teach by applying presentation practice production technique on computer assistedlanguage learning. While the second group is control group, it is teach without presentation practice productiontechnique on computer assisted language learning. Multiple choice test is used, as the instrument for collecting thedata. These test consisted of two types, namely pre-test and post-test. As the result of the test, t-observed was 3.14and t-table was 1.686 (p:005) the result of the data analysis show that the value of t-table 3.14 1.686(p:0.05). Itmeans that hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted while the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, therefore it isconcluded that presentation practice production technique on computer assisted language learning significantlyaffects students’ English grammar competence. Based on the explanation above, this research can be chosen as onealternative in teaching learning process.","PeriodicalId":307860,"journal":{"name":"The Explora","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133674192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
