obtained were analyzed by t-test. The result of data analysis revealed that t-obtained
was 5.060, with the critical value 1.671, at the significance level of 5% and df 58.
Since t-obtained was higher than critical value, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected
and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It could be concluded that there were
significant differences between students’ ability in answering reading comprehension
question to the students who were taught through Story Face strategy those of the
students who are not taught using Story Face of MTs Negeri 4 OKU Timur.
