This study sought to develop and evaluate learning resource material in upgrading reading comprehension skills of Grade 11 to meet the pressing need of Doňa Candelaria Meneses Duque National High School. The researcher utilized the descriptive survey method which uses questionnaires as the primary tools in gathering desired data information. There were two sets of questionnaire which were used in the study. The first questionnaire is the Reading Diagnostic Test while the second research instrument is the evaluation tool for the developed learning resource materials. The subjects of this study are in two groups: one hundred twenty three (123) randomly selected Grade 11 senior high school students at Doña Candelaria Meneses Duque National High School (DCMDNHS) at Bulakan, Bulacan during the school year 2017-2018; and five ESL teachers, who evaluated the resource materials. The data collected were encoded and entered into the matrix using the computer software of Microsoft Excel with the following statistical procedures: frequency distribution, percentage score, mean, total mean and standard deviation. Based on the results of the diagnostic test, the researcher developed the learning resource materials, and these were validated by five ESL teachers using a 5- point Likert Scale in terms of the following criteria: objectives, contents, vocabulary, usefulness and presentation. Generally, after the evaluation, the overall mean gained of the instructional materials is 4.72, interpreted as “Excellent”. This computed overall mean attests and suggests that the developed learning resource materials in reading are acceptable. The study recommends that the language teachers need to provide the students the means towards maximum growth in accordance with their reading ability. The teachers must help students acquire basic comprehension skills and strategies in sequential reading program designed to reinforce the skills and appreciation of previous skills acquired and to develop new skills that are needed. Likewise, it is also suggested that the administrators should conduct or sponsor programs and inservice trainings to ensure the necessary updated innovations on the preparation and development of instructional materials, particularly in reading comprehension skills. Further, future researchers should conduct a research-driven strategy that can improve the reading comprehension skills of the students.

The article aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation among the language skills and components. The researcher took two language skills and one language component to be part of the research: listening, reading comprehension skills, and grammar mastery. In the research, there were several questions regarding the three variables of listening, reading, and grammar which were focusing on the correlation among the variables. The independent variable was grammar mastery (X) while the independent variables were listening comprehension (Y1) and reading comprehension (Y2). The data collection was taken from the population of Grade X Budi Luhur Senior High School students, Tangerang, with 40 students served as a sample. The research was conducted using the quantitative method with the help of statistical calculation of Pearson Product Moment Correlation to prove whether there was a significant correlation among the three variables. As a result, it is proven that there is no significant correlation between grammar mastery and both listening and reading skills while there is a quite strong correlation between listening and reading skills of the students.

This research is aimed at developing the approaches of the axiological linguistic methodology. The importance of cognitive and axiological methodological approaches for the teaching of the Russian language is considered. The possibility of using cognitive and axiological approaches in combination is investigated with respect to the enhancement of reading comprehension skills in high school students. To this end, the cognitive and axiological components manifested at different stages of textual activity are analysed. A technique for developing reading comprehension skills is presented, which involves the identification of various types of textual information and determination of their linguistic representation. The quality of the proposed reading comprehension activity was assessed by oral interpretative utterances produced by the students. The results of the research have confirmed the efficiency of applying cognitive and axiological approaches in combination for the personal development and intellectual formation of high school students.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat penerapan strategi-stategi membaca berdasarkan Genre Based Approach guna menigkatkan pencapaian nilai membaca siswa. penulis melaksanakan penelitian tindakan kelas dengan menerapkan strategi membaca berdasarkan konsep Genre Based Approach yang terdiri dari empat langkah yaitu building context of the text, modeling the text, joint construct of the text, dan independent construction of the text. Strategi-strategi membaca berdasarkan genre based approach diterapkan melalui tiga fase membaca yaitu, pre-reading phase, whilst reading phase, dan post reading phase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan strategi membaca bisa memperbaiki proses belajar dan mengajar membaca. Simpulan ini bisa dilihat dari hasil tes membaca siswa yang menunjukkan peningkatan dari 12, 5% di siklus 1 ke 70, 8% di siklus 2 dan terakhir di siklus 3 menjadi 83, 3%. Penulis juga melakukan pengamatan dengan menggunakan (contreng) checklist terhadap strategi pengajaran dan keaktifan siswa. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan hampir semua siswa suka strategi pengajaran guru dan sebagian besar dari siswa sudah aktif. Hasil angket menunjukkan 90% dari siswa tertarik dengan cara pengajaran guru dan 88% dari siswa  tersebut aktif dalam belajar. Data tersebut juga diperkuat oleh informasi dari wawancara yang direkam terhadap 15 siswa pada tiap siklusnya. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara diketahui bahwa sebagian besar siswa mengatakan mereka tertarik dengan cara guru mengajar dan termotivasi membaca teks berbahasa Inggris Key words: Students’ Reading Comprehension, Genre based approach, Reading Strategies Derived from Genre Based Approach

It involves 133 eleventh grade students of SMAN Model Terpadu Bojonegoro. Quantive data were analyzed descriptively. The findings show that CSR affect the students’ reading comprehension significantly. Yet, it fails to reveal the effect of group sizes arrangement on the strategies applied towards the students reading comprehension. Consequently, the use of CSR in reading class can not be related to the group sizes assigned to the students. </p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap penguasaan pemahaman bacaan siswa SMA dan hubungannya dengan ukuran kelompok yang ditetapkan pada siswa.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan CSR memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan pada pemahaman bacaan siswa. Namun, penelitian ini gagal menunjukkan pengaruh ukuran pengaturan kelompok dalam strategi yang diterapkan terhadap pemahaman bacaan siswa. Karena itu, penggunaan CSR dalam pembelajaran membaca tidak bisa dihubungkan dengan ukuran kelompok yang ditugaskan kepada siswa.

Reading Comprehension Skills

One of the challenges of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is adapting the difficulty level of the questions posed to the student to suit the student’s academic level. Our study examines the task of adjusting the system’s level of challenges to the level of the learner and addresses the questions of how best to do so and whether there is any benefit from such adjustment. To answer these questions, we developed reading comprehension courseware that includes three adaptive algorithms for adjusting the level of the questions presented to the students: the random selection algorithm, the Q-learning based algorithm, and the Bayesian inference algorithm. We conduct a real-world experiment in which real high school students used the courseware to improve their reading comprehension skills. In order to compare and evaluate the performance of the algorithms, the courseware used by each student utilized one of the three adaptive algorithm alternatives. Our results demonstrate that when considering all of the students, there was significant improvement (learning gain) using each of the methods.
