ABSTRACT

Andi Dermawan : The Comparative Study of Students’ Achievements in Learning

English Grammar Through Individual Task and Group Tasks.

Students’ difficulties in learning English grammar, commonly found as low of

the students’ comprehension in the way to use or completely answer the English grammar
questions in the test, formative test or summative test and also in the national
examination. In order to have an effective learning and teaching program in which all
students achieve at high levels of English grammar, the student’s role must define as a
high achieving learner. The teacher’s role must be defined as instructor of all students to
high achievement. Both students and teachers must be rewarded for effective teaching
and learning.
There is a method that practicing by the teacher commonly in the learning
process as a media for the students for improving their ability in language learning. That
is student’s task or work assignment. It can be divided into two kinds of task, they are;
individual task and group tasks.
In accordance with those real problems above, the purposes of the research are;
to find out the data of students’ achievements in English grammar by using individual
task, to find out the data of students’ achievements in English grammar by using group
tasks, to find out the comparison of students’ achievements in English grammar through
individual task and group tasks.
Research use quantitative approach, that empirical data as the primary
information and theoretical data as the secondary information. It will be analyze by
statistic formula, by using T-test formula. The research use three kind of research
methodologies, they are; Observation, Interview and Test.
Analysis result of comparison of the students’ achievement in learning English grammar
through individual task and group task are  0.34  < 2.00; it means that H0 accepted, Ha
rejected. Because Individual Task < Group Tasks. In the other words there are differences
between the use of individual tasks and group tasks in learning English Grammar, on α
= 5%, df = 68.
The comparison between both of method (Individual Task and Group Tasks) has
differences based on t-Test formula, and it has different result of outcome dealing with
the test score instrument. Individual task with 7.49 and group tasks 7.96 stated that group
tasks has a higher level of outcome, even it doesn’t too far or significance.
The conclusion of TBL especially individual task and group tasks cannot simulate
as a primer method of teaching, it only support the students’ comprehension in learning
as drilling method or memorizing step in learning progress.
