This study aims to investigate the effect of hot seat (HS) on the reading comprehension (RC) of 1st intermediate students during the academic year 2019-2020. To achieve the purpose of the study, it is hypothesized that there is no difference between the students' mean of the experimental group which is exposed to HS and that of control group which is not exposed to HS. The experiment has lasted for three weeks and the researcher has taught the two groups by himself. The researcher has used experimental design and chosen randomly a sample consisted of (63) students distributed into two groups. The experimental group as well as the control group are given a pre-test before beginning the experiment to measure the students' RC. The same test is given again at the end of the experiment in order to check whether the students' have been improved or not. The data has been collected and analyzed by using t-test for two independent samples. The results have showed that there was significant improvement in favour of the experimental group. Finally, some points can be concluded such as the importance of HS in teaching EFL because it increases students’ motivation and makes the lesson more enjoyable and effective. In the light of the findings, some recommendations were put forward.    Keywords: Hot Seat, 1st intermediate Students, Reading Comprehension, EFL

This study is about the effect of Cooperative Script on students’ reading comprehension. Problem raised in this research was: What is the effect of using Cooperative Script on student’s reading comprehension at Grade eleven of SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar? To answer the question, the researchers used some theories such as: Harmer (2007), Bolukbas, Keskin, and Polat (2011), Herman (2014) and Barker (2000). Experimental design was conducted to this research. The population of the study was the 2019/202 academic year firstsemester grade XI students of SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar. The samples were two classes, namely XIPMIA3 and XIPIS 1, with the total was 68 students selected by applying random sampling. The sample was divided into two groups. Experimental group (XI PIS 1) was taught by applying Cooperative Script Method while the control group (XI PMIA 3) was taught by applying explaining method. There were two data used in this research. They were pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula to show the effect of applying Cooperative Script Method on students’ reading comprehension. After analyzing the data, the finding indicates that t-observed was higher than t-table (6.263 > 1.668)) with the degree of freedom (df) = 66. It means that applying Cooperative Script Methodhas significantly affected students’ reading comprehension.

This study focused on finding out the effect of applying RAP (Read, Ask,Paraphrase) Strategy on students’ reading comprehension in reading analyticalexposition text. This study was conducted in experimental design. The populationof this research was the second year of students in SMA Swasta Katolik BudiMurni 2 Medan. There were seventy students of the second year senior highschool students as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with tworandomized groups namely Experimental Group and Control Group. Theexperimental group was taught by applying RAP Strategy, while the control groupwas taught by applying conventional strategy. The instrument of collecting thedata was multiple choice tests which consisted of 25 items. The data wereanalyzed by using t-test formula. The calculation shown that t-observed (5.36)was higher than t-table (1.994) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degreeof freedom (df) 68. It means that there was a significant effect of applying RAPStrategy on students’ reading comprehension in reading analytical exposition text.

This research was aimed at finding out the effectevenness of Ransom Note Game in learning vocabulary. this research was quasi experimental design. The populations of this research were all of students at second grade students of SMPN 1 KERUAK that consist of 284 students that consist of eight different classes. In which the sample of this research used two classes where VIII.1 Class as experimental group consisted of 32 student and VIII.3 as control group consisted of 31 students. The experimental was taught by Ransom Note Game Game and control group taught by Puzzle Game. The instruments that used were objective test with multiple choices, matching word, fill in the blank and true or false. The analysis used t-test formula. The result of the analysis, showed that the value of to (t obtained) 2, 0888 was higher than tt (t table) 1, 8702, the significant level 0, 05. Based on the result of this investigation, it was proved that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In other words, there was significant effect of Ransom Note Game in learning vocabulary at the second grade students at SMPN 1 KERUAK in academic year 2016/2017.

The experimental group was treated by using TTW, while the control group was treated by using Acrostic strategy. The two classes were chosen as the samples in this research which consist of 46 students. In analyzing the data, researchers applied statistical analysis. The result of the research showed that there was a significant effect of Think-Talk-Write (TTW) in students’ vocabulary mastery. The finding shows that the t-test value was higher than the t-table (8.693>1.680). Therefore, it comes to the conclusion that the hypothesis set is accepted (Ha).
