Alhamdulillahirobbil’alamin, the greatest praise is only to Allah SWT, due to
His blessing I could finally finish my thesis to attain the degree of Sarjana

throughout the stages of thesis writing. Her feedback and suggestions were a big help
for me to the completion of my thesis.
I also greatly appreciate the school principal of SMP N 3 Mlati for giving me
permission to conduct the research there, and great thanks are given especially to the
English teacher of the School, Mr. Suharsana, and the students of Grade VIII D for
their support, cooperation, and participation during the research.
My special gratitude is devoted to my beloved parents, Drs. Nur Setiyadi and
