Assignment
a.       2 titles of thesis/skripsi with correlational and experimental research design.
1)      Correlational research : The Correlation Between Students’ Interest in Listening English Songs and Vocabulary Mastery for The Second Grade Students Of Mtsn Tinawas In Academic Year 2016/2017.
2)      Experimental research: The Effectiveness of Using Small Group Discussion in Teaching Reading Comprehension in The Eleventh Grade of Man 2 Karanganyar in 2018/2019 Academic Year.

b.      All thing about:
1)      Correlational research: The Correlation between Students’ Interest in Listening English Songs and Vocabulary Mastery for The Second Grade Students Of Mtsn Tinawas In Academic Year 2016/2017.
a)      Kinds of the instrument used :
-          Questionnaire
-          Vocabulary test
b)      The content of the instrument :
-          Questionnaire
Questionnaire is used to get the data of the students‟ interest in listening to English songs. In this research, the question in the questionnaire is written in Bahasa in order to make the respondents answered the questions easily. The questionnaires consist of thirty two questions in the form of multiple choices. In this part, the researcher asks the students to choose one option that they agree with. All questions is represented their interest in English song. Each question consists of four (4) options of the answer: A, B, C and D, which indicated the degree of respondents.
To make easy in determining the interval of the score, all answer of the questionnaire would be changed become Likert scale. A Likert scale assessed attitude toward a topic and asking respondents to indicate for each whether they strongly agree, agree, are uncertain, or disagree. Based on Likert scale, the score of each student would be marked as follows:

-          Vocabulary test
      Here the researcher uses vocabulary test to measure students’ vocabulary mastery. In this research the researcher applied 40 items of test. The form of test is multiple choice test that consisted of a, b, c, or d answer. The following is the formula to score students‟ vocabulary mastery:
Students’ score: Student’s correct answer x 100
                                          Total items

c)      Try out
d)     Validity                                  
The validity of the test material in this study would be checked through by uses SPSS 20.0 to do validity of the test, the steps of program SPSS 20 are:
- Open program SPSS 20 for windows.
- Turn on variable view and define each column
- After filling Variable View, click Data View, and fill in the data tabulation of test.
- Click the Analyze menu, select Correlate, and select Bivariate.
- After that will be appear dialog box Bivariate Correlate. Move all items (item 1 to 22 and Score total) to the Variables box. In the Correlation Coefficients select Pearson, on the Test of Significance select the Two-Tailed, then select the Flag significant correlation
- Click OK, to end the command. See appendix to result the validity.
To identify whether an item test was valid or not, can be done by looking at the value of the significance or compare the value rxy with r table product moment.
Based on the the significant value obtained by the sig. (2-tailed) of 0.00 <0.05, so it can be concluded to item 3 was valid. In this research the r table product moment 5% significance with N = 22, then the value will be r-table product moment equal to 0.423.

e)      Reliability                               
The reliability of the test material in this study would be checked through by uses SPSS 20.0 to do reliability of the test, the steps of program SPSS 20 are:
1)      Turn on the SPSS program and select the Variable View, furthermore, in the Name write item_1 to item_32. In the Decimals change all is the number 0.
2)      Click the Data View fill in the answer of the test.
3)      Select Analyze, and then click Scale, and then click the Reliability Analyze
4)      Then a new dialog box will appear with the name of Reliability Analyze, and then enter up to items: item-1 until 32 to box, then in the Model select Alpha.
5)      The last step click OK to terminate the command, after which it will appear SPSS output, as follow:
Cronbach's Alpha
N of Items
.925
32

From the output of Reliability Statistics obtained Cornbach’s Alpha value 0.925>0.423, based on the basis of decision-making in the reliability test can be conducted that this research instrument reliable, where as a high level of reliability.
2)      Experimental research: The Effectiveness of Using Small Group Discussion In Teaching Reading Comprehension in The Eleventh Grade of Man 2 Karanganyar In 2018/2019 Academic Year
a)      Kinds of the instrument used :
-          Experimental Teaching
-          Test
b)      The content of the instrument :
The research instrument used by the researcher in collecting the data is post-test. Before treatment, the researcher using pre-test to knew ability from the students. Post-test was conducted in order to know the changeable on students reading comprehension material between learning process with Small Group Discussion and learning process through Lecturing Method. Reading test in the form of multiple choice consist of 25 items. This test can be used to measure the learning outcome which relates to aspects of memory, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
The researcher created the test based on syllabus which suitable with curriculum of MAN 2 Karanganyar. In composing the test the researcher also consider the indicators that must be reached by eleventh grade students especially in reading skill. Test is used to measure student ability after given treatment, is students score increase, it can be concluded that the technique is effective.
c)      Tryout  
d)     Validity                                  
Every test, either it is a short, informal classroom test or a public examination should be as valid as the test constructor can make it. The test must aim to provide a true measure of the particular skill which is intended to measure.
Heaton (1998: 159) states, “The validity of a test is the extent to which it measures what it is supposed to measure and nothing else.” There are three kinds of validity that consist of content validity, construct validity, and empirical validity.
To obtain the data about the comparison between Small Group Discussion and Lecturing Method on teaching reading comprehension, the writer acquired to show each score. It will using pertaining to the most important characteristic of an item to be accurately determined by its difficulty. Then, the tests given to students were considered too difficult or too easy often show the low reliability. Item difficulty was held pertinent to the index difficulty, in which it is generally expressed as the percentage of the students who answer the question correctly (Heaton, 1991: 178).
The steps of validity test, as follows:
-          Click Analyze
-          Then, choose Scale
-          Then, reliability analysis
-          Click Statistics, in Descriptive for klik scale if item deleted
-          Click continue

e)      Reliability                                :
Sahu (2013: 97) Reliability refers to consistency and authenticity in responses. Consistency means the respondent should not provide a different answer every time the same question is asked by investigators in different forms for a particular problem. An instrument is consistent if its response remain same under repeated observations, essentially under the same condition. Authentic informations obtained from a source which has the authority and credential to report about the problem. To verify the reliability of the responses, particular in the social science researchers, there should be provosion for cross-checking the responses in the methods of collection of information.
The steps of realibility test, as follows:
- Click Analyze
- Then, choose Scale
- Then, reliability analysis
- Click Statistics, in Descriptive for klik scale if item deleted
- Click continue
