Handarini 3 1 Medan Tourism Academy 2 Mechanical Engineering Department, Universitas Negeri Malang, East Java, Indonesia 3 Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Malang a) corresponding author: ritonga07abk@yahoo.co.uk Abstract. STAD cooperative learning method is one method that is effective in achieving the goal of learning the English language, especially for hospitality students who are required to master English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in accordance with their needs. This study design using 2x3 factorial versions of non-equivalent control group design. The subjects were students of MDK III/5 A and MDK III.5 B Rooms Division study program department of hospitality 2015/2016 Academic Year at the Medan Tourism Academy. The samples are saturated samples. Data were collected through a pre-test, post-test, and raw intelligence were statistically analyzed using variance with significance level of 0.05%. The results showed that: (1) there are differences in the English study result of subject using STAD and expository type cooperative learning methods, (2) there are differences in the English study result of students who have high intelligence and low intelligence, (3) there are differences in the English study result of students who have high intelligence and medium intelligence, (4) there are differences in the English study result of students who have medium intelligence and low intelligence, (5) there is interaction between the learning methods and intelligence on the English Study Result, (6) there is an interaction between STAD and expository type cooperative learning methods on English study result. PREFACE Vocational education embraces open systems (multi-entry-exit system) and the systemic (oriented acculturation, empowerment, the formation of character and personality, as well as a variety of life skills (Kemendiknas Strategic Plan ). Implications for the selection of reliable human resources in this era of globalization is the mastery of an international language, namely English. One of the requirements of the working world that is able to communicate verbally. As the opinion Graddol (1997: 7) English is one of the important things that we have to know that we have to know. Because in this globalization era, there is much information written down in English. Hutchinson & Waters (1987: 10) emphasizes "That was one significant discovery in the ways that spoken and written English vary." Furthermore, according to Hutchinson and Waters (1987: 10) that the emergence of ESP is not only related to linguistics but also related to psychology. ESP is not only related to the method of language learning but also how students acquire language in all forms of cultural background differences, for example, social, and even economic. It is inseparable from the characteristics of the ESP itself, as expressed by Dhieni (2008: 123) language has characteristics that make it a typical form of communication, namely: (1) systematic (2) arbitrary, (3) Flexible (4) diverse, and (5) complex. Hutchinson and Waters (1987: 21) states "ESP is an approach to language teaching Which is Aimed to meet the needs of particular learners". Hutchinson and Waters (1987) argues the advent of ESP begin with the answers to the question why does the learner need to learn a foreign language? ESP Proceedings of the International Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Education Conferences (IMEEEC 2016) AIP Conf. Proc. 1778, ; doi: / Published by AIP Publishing /$

3 characteristics is absolute and always changing according to the needs, as proposed by Strevens (1988: 32) that ESP is determined by identifying the of the absolute and arbitrary characteristics. Furthermore, Hutchinson & Waters (1987: 10) defines: "ESP is an approach to language teaching in the which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learner's reason for learning". ESP is English for Special Purpose. Robinson (1990) said "It (here ESP) is generally used to refer to the teaching and learning of a foreign language for a clearly utilitarian purpose of which there is no doubt." the same thing also said by Mc Donough (1984) about the definition and concept of ESP. He stated, ESP courses are those where the syllabus and materials are determined in all essentials by prior analysis of the communication. STAD is one of the simplest methods of cooperative learning which consists of five components (Slavin, 1986), namely; class presentations, group, quiz, scores of individual improvement. Meanwhile, Killen (1998) says that the expository method is a direct method of instruction between educators and learners. Theories on intelligence then developed along the times. Gardner ( ) which is famous for the theory of multiple intelligences (multiple intelligence), one of which is the theory of linguistic intelligence allowing everyone to be intelligent in language. RESEARCH METHODS Research subjects are students MDK III5/A and MDK III5/B Hospitality Department in Medan Tourism Academy. The total sample of 47 students who are determined by the saturate sampling technique. The research instrument consisted of pre-test, post-test, and raw intelligence CF test. Questions of pre-test and post-test are the same. Sort of question consists of seven essay questions and 32 multiple choice questions. There are six essay questions and 26 multiple choice questions that are valid with the reliability coefficient of and 0.965, respectively. Data analysis techniques used were Anova with SPSS version The research procedure includes the experimental preparation phase, the implementation phase of the experiment and post-experiment stage. The procedure of the investigation during the implementation phase, namely: (a) provide pre-test, (b) provide a standard intelligence test, (c) carry out the treatment, and (d) provide post-test. Data Normality Test using analytical exploration techniques. Data Homogeneity test using ANOVA analysis techniques, paired sample t-test to see the average difference between the two paired samples. The difference analysis tests with the independent samples t-test. This study used quasi-experiment with non-equivalent control group design (Creswell, 2010), the factorial design presented in Table 1. TABLE 1. Factorial experimental design IQ Learning Mehod T S R T S R T S R STAD (MS) Expository (ME) Remarks: T=High, S=Medium, R=Low, MS=STAD Learning Method, ME= Expository Learning Method, = High, = Medium, = Low With the factorial design, the data will be determined the main effect and interaction effect of the independent variable and moderator variable. The primary effect is the influence of the independent variables, namely (1) a method of learning, and (2) the effect of moderator variables, i.e., intelligence (IQ). In the first main influence will be seen the effect of the application of STAD cooperative learning and the influence of expository learning without seeing the influence of intelligence (IQ). Moreover, the second main influence will be seen a high IQ, medium IQ and IQ low regardless of the effect caused by the method of learning variable. The research subjects are grouped as shown in Table

The score distance of highest and low intelligence quite varied. test results showed that students who have low intelligence with the score of 65 and highest is 110. The intelligence of experimental class is higher than the control class. The difference of the minimum value reached 14 points, while the maximum value is 21 points. However, the difference in the average value of the experimental class with the control class is only 4 points

5 Category Data Description Low intelligence category valued (80-89), medium (90-109), and high (110 and above). Accordingly, the frequency of intelligence can be seen in Table 5. TABLE 5 Category Description Category Experimental Class Control Class Low 10 6 Medium High 4 2 Sum Table 5 shows that the number of experimental class and control class respondents that has low, medium and high intelligence are not so much different. Therefore it can be said that the intelligence between experimental class control class is balanced and dominant in the low and medium categories.

Mean or average control class student post-test using expository method is The average value of categorized as good. Deviation standard of the experimental class is with the English study result lowest value of 68 and 85. While the highest deviation standard of English study results post-test results of expository learning method is with the highest 78 and lowest 62. It shows that the English study result of control class is also quite varied. Skewness of experimental class is 0.487/0.456 = Used Criteria if it s -2 to 2 the data is normally distributed. Therefore the value obtained is 1,067. It can be said English study result is normally distributed. skewness value of control class divided by standard error of skewness value. skewness of control class is /0.501 = Used Criteria if it s -2 to 2 the data is normally distributed. Therefore the value obtained is 1,347 it can be said English study result is normally distributed. Kurtosis value with an error of kurtosis standard is 1.347/0.887= Used criteria if it s -2 to 2 then the data is normally distributed. Therefore, the kurtosis ratio obtained is it can be said English study result is normally

6 distributed. Kurtosis value with error of kurtosis standard is -0,278/0,972 = -0,286. Used Criteria if it s -2 to 2 then the data is normally distributed. Therefore the kurtosis value obtained is -0,286 it can be said english study result is normally distributed. Data normality test using the Kolmogorov-Smirnova with the criteria of the test if the significance of> 0.05, then the data are normally distributed; and when significance <0.05, then the data are abnormally distributed. The result of normality test Kolmogorov-Smirnova it is normally distributed or not can be seen at Table 7. TABLE 7.

Error Kurtosis 1,091,902 1,741 Table 10 shows that the number of samples of 47 people with an average value of English study result at a low intelligence is 70.69, medium intelligence 74.20, and high intelligence From the average value, high intelligence have a highest average value of English study result. Similarly, the medium average value higher than the average value of the low intelligence. It shows that intelligence plays a role in study result. Deviation standard or size of data distribution of low intelligence students is 4.6 with the lowest value in English study result is 62 and the highest is 77. While the deviation standard of low intelligence students is indicates the English study result less varied. Deviation standard of medium intelligence was 2.65 with the lowest score was 70 and the highest is 79 and the data less varied. Deviation standard of medium intelligence was 2.65 with the lowest score was 70 and the highest is 79 and the data less varied. Deviation standard of high intelligence is 3,869 with the lowest score is 75 and the highest is 85 and the data less varied Skewness or data distribution measurement. Skewness of English study result in terms of high intelligence is 1,303/0,845 = 1,54. Used Criteria if it s -2 to 2 the data is normally distributed. Therefore the value obtained is 1,54 it can be said English study result is normally distributed. Skewness of English study result in terms of medium intelligence 0,103/0,464 = 0,221, the data is normally distributed. Skewness of English study result in terms of low

7 intelligence is 1.087/1.091 = 0.996, therefore, the data is also normally distributed. then data normality test is conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov as table 9. TABLE 9. Based English Study Result Significance Test Kolmogorov-Smirnov a Statistic Df Sig. English Study result Low * Medium High * a. Lilliefors Significance Correction *. This is a lower bound of the true significance. The test conducted by 0.05 significance. From the results of Kolmogorov-Smirnov a can seen that the significance of study result based on low intelligence is 0.200> significance of study result based on medium intelligence 0.124> significance of study result based on high intelligence 0.200> Thus the data of English study result with low, medium, and high intelligence are normally distributed Homogeneity test of English study results based on Learning Method and TABLE 10. Homogeneity test of English study results based on Learning Method and Variable Levene Statistic df1 df2 Sig. Learning method Post-test value Intelegence post-test value Levene's test or the homogeneity test is used to determine whether the data groups is the same. The criteria used is if significance < 0.05, we conclude that the data group variance is different; conversely, if the significance > 0.05, we conclude that the data group variance is the same. Table 10 shows that the significance of post-test value based on research method is 0,225 due to > 0.05 (0.225> 0.05) significance, it can be concluded that the data group variance is the same or homogeneous. The significance of intelligence based posttest value is due to > 0.05 (0.066> 0.05) significance, it can be concluded that the data group variance is the same or homogeneous.

Because the value of - t count < -t table ( <-2.064) and significance < 0.05 (0.00 <0.05), then Ho is rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a difference between pre-test and post-test scores in the experimental

8 class. The results of the analysis can also note that the post-test average value is higher than the pre-test value, in other words, learning methods have contributed in improving English study result.

Thus, we can conclude that there are differences between the test scores of study result using STAD and expository method. From the average value, the experimental class that implements the STAD method is higher than the control class that implements the expository method. Thus we can say STAD cooperative method is better applied in English study than the expository method

So we can say that there are differences in the average value English study result among experimental class and control class. In other words, learning methods affect the study results of students. interaction with the study results Significance is Because significance < 0.05, then Ho is rejected. So we can conclude that there are differences in the average value of English study result is based on intelligence. In other words, intelligence has significant effect on English study result. interaction with the learning outcomes Significance is 0,010. Because of the count significance is < 0.05, then Ho is rejected. So we can conclude that there are differences in the average value of English study result in experimental class with control class between low, medium, and high. in other words, the average value of English study result in the experimental class and control class is different between medium, low and high intelligence. The results experimental class that has low intelligence different from the control class, that is by 6 points.the average value of the experimental class of low intelligence was in control class was 66.00, and the medium intelligence in the experimental class is 75.08, medium intelligence in the control class is and high intelligence in the experimental class is 79.08, high intelligence in control class is From the average value, it can be said that the average value of study result between low, medium, and high intelligence on the experimental and control class is different.
