The Significances of the Study

The results of this study are expected to be contributing for the following

parties:

1. To the Writer Herself

By doing this research, it would give meaningful experience in concluding a

scientific task in the field of language learning.

2. To the Teachers of English

The result of this research hopefully could provide the teachers, especially the

English teachers at MTS Al-Hikmah Palembang, useful information about

how to improve student’s speaking skill consequently, and they can modify

their own strategies of teaching English.

3. To the Students

By using Auditory-Intellectually-Repetition (AIR) strategy in the learning

process, the students will interest to learning speaking and will increase

student’s achievement.

4. To Other Researcher

This proposal will be a source of materials in concluding similar studies in the

future.

E. The Hypotheses
 Fraenkel, et. al. (2012, p. 83) as cited in Holandyah (2014, p. 187)

state that (Holandyah, 2014: 9), hypothesis is simply put, a prediction of the

possible outcomes of a study.

The hypothesis of this research consists of null hypothesis (Ho) and

alternative hypothesis (Ha) as stated below:

1. (Ho) : There is no a significant improvement on students’ speaking skill

by using Auditory-Intellectually-Repetition (AIR) strategy at the

eighth grade students of MTS Al-Hikmah Palembang.

(Ha) : There is significant improvement on student’s speaking skill by

using Auditory-Intellectually-Repetition (AIR) strategy at the

eighth grade students of MTS Al-Hikmah Palembang.

2. (Ho) : There is no significant difference on student’s speaking skill

using Auditory-Intellectually-Repetition (AIR) strategy, teacher’s

method, and student’s posttest score in speaking.

(Ha) : There is significant difference on students using Auditory-

Intellectually-Repetition (AIR) strategy, teacher’s method, and

student’s posttest score in speaking.

F. The Criteria of Testing the Hypotheses

To test a hypothesis means to reject one hypothesis and to accept another. The

criteria for testing the hypothesis are:

 1. If the p-output (Sig.2-tailed) is lower than 0, 05, so the null hypothesis

(Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

2. If the p-output (Sig.2-tailed) is higher than 0, 05, so the null hypothesis

(Ho) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected.
