THE EFFECT OF TASK_BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING ON STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION OFTENTH

This study deals with the effect of applying task based language teaching on the students‟ reading comprehension. The population of this research was the tenth grade students of SMK Putra Anda Binjai. The sample of research were two classes which consisted of experimental group and control group which were chosen by random sampling. Twenty eight students were taken as the samples in each class. The experimental group was taught by using task based language teaching, while the control class was taught without using task based language teaching. The data were analyzed by using t-test. The calculation shows that t-observed (2.49) was higher than t-table (1.67) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 54. The result is hypothesis stated that there is significantly effect of applying task based language teaching on the tenth grade students‟ reading comprehension is accepted.

TBLT refers to an approach based on the use of tasks as the core unit of planning and instruction in language teaching. Task Based Language Teaching is an approach which offer students opportunities to actively engage in communication in order to achieve a goal or complete a task. TBLT seeks to develop students" interlanguage through providing a task and then using language to solve it.

Reading
Reading is a process of constructing The strategy of semantic mapping, or grouping ideas into meaningful clusters, helps the readers to provide some order to the chaos.

Task-based Language Teaching
Task-based language teaching(TBLT), also we know as task-based instruction (TBI), focuses on the use of autentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language.
TBLT was first developed by N. Prabu in Bangladore, Southern India. Prbu believed thier minds are focused on task, rather than on the language they are using.
According to Rod Ellis, a task has four meaning characteristics: Post-test was administered to know the differences score both of experimental and control group. The data were from experimental group and control group. "The data are analyzed by using "t-test for independent sample" developed by arikunto to know the effect or result of the research".

IV.THE DATA AND DATA ANALYSIS
This research was conducted by using experimental research. There were two randomized groups used namely experimental group and control group. The population of this research was the tenth grade students of SMK Putra Anda Binjai. By using random sampling, the sample were taken namely class X TKJ 1 for experimental group and class X TKJ 2 for the control group.
To obtain the data, reading test was given to the students, the data were obtained from the students" reading score in the pre-test and post-test from the two groups. The data of pre-test in experimental group were : the highest score was 80, the lowest score was 50.
While the data pre-test in control group were : the highest was 80, the lowest score was 50.
Based on the data, it can be conclude that the students" score in experimental group was higher than the students" score in control group.
From the data which had obtained in the post-test of experimental group were : the highest score was 90, the lowest was 60, while the data of post test in control group were : the highest score was 80, the lowest score was 50.
Based on the data. It can be concluded that the students"score in experimental group was higher than the students" score in control group.
To find out the whether the applying of The data showed from tables above, than were calculated and analyzed by using ttest formula : After calculating the data above, the value of t-table for the df (degree of freedom) of 54 (n 1 + n 2 -2 or 28 + 28 -2) at level significance (α) 0,05 is1,673 .The result of computing t-.test shows that the value of t-test is higher than the value of t-table as follows.
Based on the calculation of the data, the critical value or t-observed (t 0 ) is higher than the value of t-table (t 0 = 2,49> t t = 1,673). It means that the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Conclusion
From the result of the data analysis in the previous chapter, the writer compose a conclusion that in testing the hypothesis, the value of t-observed (t 0 ) is higher than the value of t-
