Research Hypothesis of the Pre Test Research Hypothesis of Post Test • Ho: There is no significant different effect on students’ reading comprehension between control class and experiment class. • H 1: There is significant different effect on students’ reading comprehension between control class and experiment class. • • Ho: There is no significant different effect on students’ reading comprehension using communicative strategy between control class and experiment class. H 1: There is significant different effect on students’ reading comprehension using communicative strategy between control class and experiment class.

B. Research Method A. Place and Time of the Research The Quantitative method will be used in this research is quasi experimental design. • Place Jl. Sukamulya, Caringin, Cisoka, Tangerang Banten. According to Riadi (2014), “Experimental research trying to make something may happen to the dependent variable through a series of treatment as independent variable. • Time in academic year 20192020 It means that experimental research investigates the cause-effect between variable.

C. Population and Sample Population The population in this research was the eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Cisoka which consist nine classes, amounting 306 students. Sample The sample of this research will be taken from two classes which are VIII A as a experiment class that will be taught without communicative strategy and VIII B as an control class that will be taught with communicative strategy.

D. Technique of Collecting Data The researcher gave the different reading comprehension test namely pre-test and post-test to both experimental and controlled class by used multiple choice to know students response in teaching and learning process.

G. Technique of Analyzing Data To test the research hypothesis, the researcher will use t-test data analysis technique. 1) Descriptive Statistic 2) Inferential Statistic Data Analysis This is the descriptive statistic by Riadi (2014), as follow: a. Mean b. Mode c. Median d. Standard Deviation e. Variance a. b. c. Normality Test Homogeneity Test Hypothesis Test
