Abstrak

Reading is one of language skills that should be mastered well by the students in teaching learning activity, because most of the students’ test communicated in written form. Even though reading is very dominant in English teaching, but the result of the students’ daily assessment is still unsatisfied and many students were uninterested in reading and they had low motivation in learning English. Consequently, the students got difficulty to understand and respond what they read in the text. Therefore, the writer used local folktales as a teaching material that hopefully can solve the problem found. The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between reading ability of narrative text of the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Pulokulon Grobogan before and after being taught by using local folktales in academic year 2013/2014. The design of this research is an experimental research used one group with pre-test and post-test. The population of this research is the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Pulokulon Grobogan in academic year 2013/2014. The writer used cluster random sampling technique to take the sample of this research. The writer got VIII D class as the sample with total number of students is 31 students. The instrument used by the writer was multiple choices test to know the data before and after being taught by using local folktales. The result of this research shows that the mean of pre-test is 55.40 by standard deviation is 9.52 and the mean of post-test is 75.27 by standard deviation is 7.45. it was found the hypothesis testing in the level of significance  = 0.05 two-tailed test from the degree of freedom (df) = 30, t-table (t_t)  2.042, and the t-obtained (t_0) is 11.59. In other words, t-obtained is higher than t-table (t_0>t_t). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H_0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H_a) is accepted, because the t-obtained (t_0 ) falls in the critical region. It can be conclude that there is a significant difference between reading ability of narrative text of the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Pulokulon Grobogan before and after being taught by using local folktales in academic year 2013/2014. Based on the result above, the writer suggests that local folktale is effective in reading activity.
