This study employed a pre-test and post-test in the form of multiple choice and writing test in collecting the data. The collected data were then analyzed using t-test. The result of this study shown that tcount = 3.72. According to t distribution table on level of significant 5%, it was gained ttable = 2.02. If tcount = 3.72 and ttable = 2.02, then tcount > ttable. In other words, the null hypothesis is rejected. Conversely, alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The average score of pre-test and post-test are significantly different (pre-test= 58.52 and post-test=72.77).
