This research aims to find out whether Herringbone Technique can developEFL students’ reading comprehension or not, especially in finding the main idea and supporting details in a recount text. The literature notes that Herringbone is known to be one of the techniques that can helpstudents to find important information and main idea in a text by seeking for answers on six comprehension questions on a diagram, viewed such as a fish’s skeleton. The sample of this research was 30 second grade junior high school students. The researchers employed simple random sampling to choose the sample. It further used the quantitative experimental approach with the pre-experimental design in the form of one group pre-test-post-test design.Pre-test was given before treatments, while post-test was given after the students were taught reading by using the Herringbone Technique. Each pre-test and post-test consisted of ten questions. The statistical formulas were used to analyze the data from the students tests’ scores. The mean score of pre-test was 59 and the post-test was 76. Futhermore, the result of t-test was 10.15, while the critical value of 0.05 significant level was 2.045, with the degree of freedom of 29. Since t-test (10.15) was higher than t-table (2.045), this study concludes that this technique could increase the EFL students’ reading comprehension.Despite in practice the researchers found that this technique decreased the students’ efforts in note-taking, however it did not inhibited them in obtaining improved scores in their reading tests.

This study investigated the effect of implementing flipped classrooms on Iranian junior high school students' reading comprehension. To this end, 50 Iranian pre-intermediate students were choosen and randomly assigned into two equal groups; one experimental group (flipped classroom) and one control group (traditional classroom). After that, both groups were pretested through a reading comprehension test. Then, the researchers put the respondents of the experimental group in a flipped classroom. The flipped classroom was equipped with Internet, computer and projector. The students were required to read each text before coming the class and discuss it with their classmates. On the other hand, the control group was taught in the traditional classroom. Before teaching each text, the researchers provided background knowledge for the control group and after teaching each text, the students were required to answer some questions related to the text. The whole treatment lasted 8 sessions of 50 minutes. In the last session, the post-test of reading comprehension was administered. The results of paired and independent samples t-tests indicated that there was a significant difference between the post-tests of the experimental and the control groups. The findings revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group (p < .05) on the post-test.

The aim of the research is to determine the effect of story mapping on improving learning outcomes of reading and writing at junior high school students. This research was categorized into a quasi-experiment in order to measure the significant effect between two treatments - the students who were taught by story mapping and those who were not. This experimental research design is done to compare the post-test both of classes, the t-test for reading and writing t-test > t-table. The results of this study indicated the nul hypothesis of this study was rejected. There is a better and significant effects on the reading and writing learning outcomes of the learners in the experimental class that applies story mapping techniques than learning outcomes of the learners in the control class which non using the story mapping technique. It is concluded that the students’ achievement in the experimental class which used story mapping was better than students’ learning achievement in the control class without story mapping.       Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh story mapping terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar membaca dan menulis peserta didik SMP, dengan desain penelitian yang termasuk kedalam penelitian semu (quasi experiment). Untuk mengukur apakah ada pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik antara kelas yang diajarkan dengan teknik story mapping dan kelas yang tidak diajarkan dengan teknik tersebut. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan pengujian N-gain (Normalized Gain), dan uji hipotesis menggunakan uji t (t-test). Hasil N-gain yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan yang diberikan pada kelas eksperimen dengan teknik story mapping efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar membaca dan menulis dengan ukuran efek (effect size) pada klasifikasi yang tinggi. Sementara hasil t-test yang diperoleh terhadap hasil belajar membaca dan menulis adalah t-hitung > t-tabel. Sesuai dengan hipotesis yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini yang berarti H0 ditolak, hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap hasil belajar membaca dan hasil belajar menulis peserta didik pada kelas eksperimen yang diterapkan teknik story mapping,yang lebih baik dari pada hasil belajar peserta didik di kelas kontrol tanpa menggunakan teknik tersebut.

This study deals with improving the reading comprehension of junior high school students through the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) technique. The objective is to find out if cooperative learning using NHT can improve the reading comprehension of the students. The data for this research was obtained from a field study using an experimental research design at a middle school in Aceh Besar with a one group time series design. From the study, it was found that the students’ mean scores from the pre-test and the post-test were different. The mean score of the students’ post-test was higher than the pre-test scores. To find out if the two mean scores were significantly different, they were tested using the t-test statistical procedure.  The result showed that they were significantly different (df = 8, alpha 0.05, t-table 17.550 > 2.0452). This indicated that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected as hypothesized. Thus, cooperative learning using the NHT technique can improve the reading comprehension skills of middle school students.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REALITY COUNSELING TO OVERCOME ANXIETY EXPRESSING OPINIONS FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. This study aims to test the effectiveness of reality counseling to overcome the level of anxiety express opinions of students in junior high. This research uses pre experimental pre-test type post test one group design. The data analysis used is paired test of T-test, to see the change of anxiety level in experimental group between pretest and post test by looking at t table price at degrees of freedom (dk), that is the magnitude is N-1, and at a significant level α = 0,05 (95%) then we get t-table = 1,833, assuming if t count> t-table then Ha “received”. From the test results using T-Test proves that effective reality counseling in overcoming anxiety expressed the opinion of junior high school students. Because t arithmetic 16,628> t table 1,833 on the significant level α = 0,05, then Ha “accepted”. Based on the findings of the research, for the next researcher, with the findings of reality counseling implementation to overcome the level of anxiety to express the opinion of the students, should be an inspiration in doing further research by applying counseling with other therapies, especially in an effort to overcome the anxiety level express opinion to the students.
