speaking skill for interviewing respondents using Wh-questions and how-question

interview respondent in the process of writing news item text using Wh-questions
and how-question had significant difference between pre-test (before the

the research and data analysis where means of interviewing assessment were
47.27 and 60.07 respectively. In addition, the result also shows that the value of
ttable (tt.ts.5% = 2.14 and tt.ts.1% = 2.98) and tobserves (5.224). Statistically it was written
as 2.14 < 5.224 > 2.98. Since tobserves was higher than ttable then Ha was accepted or
in the other word that improving the students’ ability to interview respondents
using Wh-questions and how-question in the process of writing news item text
was more effective than without to use Wh-question and how-question.
