In this study, quasi-experimental was used. Only the experimental group received the treatment (Creswell, 2003, p.19).  The population of this study was all the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA Negeri 2 Tanjung Raja. Therefore, the sample was chosen by using a purposive sample. A t-test was used to analyze the data. Based on the analysis of the data, the value of the t-obtained was 5.271 at the significant level p<0.05 in two-tailed testing with df = 62 the critical value of t-table =1.9990. Since the value of t-obtained was higher than the critical value of t-table, Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted.
