Abstract

The research was pre-experimental research and it was conducted by using one group pre-test post-test design. The subject was the fourth year students of English Language Education Program consisting of 33 students. The text used during the treatment was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Novel by L. Frank Baum published by World Public Library. It consists of 214 pages but only some parts of the novel that was used during the treatment. The data collected using both of the test above, and the instrument used was a reading comprehension test about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Novel. The test consists of 20 questions in multiple choices form. T-test was used in order to analyze the data. It was found that the result before and after the treatment were very much different. The t-test score is -6.875 and the t-table is 2.997 in the level of significant 5%. In the t-test the plus and minus signs are not considered so that the value of -6.857 2.997 (ttable). Therefore, the final conclusion can be stated as that there was a significant effect of contextual clues on students’ reading comprehension using The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Novel.

Abstract

One of the human attributes is the ability to process language.  Over the last few decades, we have learned a lot more about its neurological foundation that specific linguistic functions are believed to be supported by various brain’s sections in left and right hemispheres. However, studies have shown that language comprehension and grammar depend on other areas of the brain outside the so-called Broca's region, which corresponds to Brodmann areas 44 and 45. It has been linked to an expanded brain activity including BA44, BA45, and BA47, the anterior insula (BA13), the mesial part of the supplementary motor area (the lateral expansion of BA6), and the bottom layer of the forebrain. Studies have also exposed the brain’s memory systems in language learning, storage, and usage, which are called as declarative/procedural memory systems. Further, studies have unveiled that these declarative/procedural memory systems can be enhanced through interventions. Thus, understanding these issues is advantageous for language teachers/instructors to know how the brain works in learning a language and its grammar, which is vital to have effective teaching and learning. Such understanding may lead teachers to develop their syllabus and materials, select strategies and methods, and design various class activities that result in effective learning.
