Before conducting the post-test the, researcher gave three treatments in the experimental and control classes with different teaching. The instrument used in this study was 20 multiple choice questions about narrative texts that had been declared valid. The data obtained from pre-test and post-test were analyzed by using t-test. The result of the t-table was 1.76 and the result of the t-test was 2.690. It revealed that the t-test is bigger than the t-table (2.690> 1.76).
