which VII.1 was the experimental class and VII.2 was the control class. To know the
effect of treatments, pre-test and post-test were done.
The test was in the form of a writing test. The test data were analyzed using the mean
and T-test statistical analysis. The mean score of the experimental class was 53.1429
for the pre-test and 65.4048 for the post-test. Meanwhile, the control class's mean
scores for the pre-test and post-test were 52.7619 and 60.7143. However, the mean
score of the experimental course was higher than that of the control class.
Furthermore, the T-test result was a sig. (2-tailed) 0.088 lower than the level
