THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LET'S READ APPLICATION TOWARD STUDENTS LITERACY

Abstract

This study examines the effects of the Let’s Read application on the English literacy of seventh-grade students, particularly young learners at SMPN 1 Petang. The research employs statistical analysis to compare students' literacy skills in the experimental group, who use the Let’s Read application, with those in the control group, who engage in conventional learning methods. The sample consists of 31 seventh-grade students from SMPN 1 Petang in Badung. The objective is to determine whether the use of the Let’s Read application has a significant impact on their English literacy skills. The results indicate a substantial score difference between the experimental and control groups. An Independent Sample t-test was used to analyze the data, revealing that the one-sided and two-sided p-values were 0.1, less than the standard alpha level (α = 0.05). Therefore, it demonstrates that the Let’s Read application significantly affects the English literacy skills of students at SMPN 1 Petang in Badung.
