THE COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF USING READING ALOUD TECHNIQUE AND DRILLING TECHNIQUE IN IMPROVING STUDENTS’ PRONUNCIATION

Agsha Intan Aulia — 2023-05-16

There has been thoughtful debate on using Reading Aloud Technique (RAT) and Drilling Technique (DT) in teaching pronunciation. These techniques are considered monotonous and old-fashioned. This pre-experimental group comparison approach used the independent t-test to analyse the data, to find out whether or not there’s a significant difference between the two techniques. Two classes of early-grade students of SMAN 1 Tanjung Bintang, in which each technique was implemented in each class, showed a significant improvement after RAT and DT were implemented. It turned out, RAT is also proven to help students’ pronunciation improve better. The advantages of using RAT and future directions are discussed.
