Communicative Translation Method in Increasing Students’ Performance in Translation Class

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of communicative translation method in increasing students’ performance in translation class. This study used quasi-experimental approach which involved a control group and an experiment group. Communicative translation method was implemented in the experiment group during 6 meetings. Students’ performance was measured before and after the implementation of learning process. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics aimed to describe and categorize the levels of students’ performance, while inferential statistics aimed to discover whether there was a significant influence of communicative method in increasing students’ performance. Results show that the sig value of the experiment class is 0.00. It proves that communicative method is effective in increasing students’ performance as the sig. value is lower than 0.05.
