- Mistake buster technique considered efficient to improve students’ activeness in teaching learning process and improve students’ understanding about grammar in simple past tense. This research was aimed to find out whether mistake buster technique can help students solve their difficulties in learning simple past tense or not. The topic was discussed through the experimental research at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 31 Semarang in the academic year of 2017/2018. VIII G and VIII F were used as the data sources to find out the effectiveness of mistake buster technique to teach simple past tense. The data was gathered through documentation and test. The researcher used simple random sampling. VIII G was chosen as an experimental class and VIII F as a control class. The experimental class was taught by using mistake buster technique and control class taught by using discussion and lecturing. The test instrument were 20 multiple choice questions of simple past tense. T-test formula was used to analyze the data. The result was obtained through comparing the posttest’s average score between experimental class and control class. The average score of experimental class was 71.14 and the average score of control class was 62.43. Meanwhile the pre-test’s average score of the experimental class was 32.86 and the average score of control was 33.71. In addition, it is proven that the independent t test result for posttest that the tcount is higher than ttable (4.445 > 2.000). It means there is significant difference in the achievement between experimental class who were taught by using mistake buster technique and control class who were taught without mistake buster technique.
