The type of experimental design which is used in this research is pre-experimental in the form one-group pre-test and post-test. The population of this research is all students of first grade of MAN 2 Tulungagung. The sample is X MIA 4 class which consists of 44 students.

It means that hypothesis alternative (H1) which states there is significant difference between students’ score before and after being taught by using Practice Rehearsal Pairs is accepted. While, the null hypothesis (H0) which states there is no significant difference between students’ score before and after being taught by using Practice Rehearsal Pairs is rejected.
