The aim of this research was to examine the directed reading thinking activity (DRTA) strategy on students’ reading skills. This research was classified as experimental research applying a quasi-experimental design. This study involved 60 students of second-grade students of SMPN 1 Jonggat. The students were divided into two groups, the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to DRTA strategy, while the control group was treated using the conventional learning strategy. The data were obtained by using a reading test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data were calculated using SPSS 19.0 for Windows. The descriptive statistic was aimed at finding out the students’ mean score, mode, median, and standard deviation. Hence, the inferential statistic was used to test the research hypothesis using the independent sample t-test. The results of the research showed that the DRTA strategy in teaching reading had a more positive effect than the conventional learning strategy. It was proven that the students’ mean score in the experimental class (78.80) was higher than those in the control group (73.73). In addition, the score of 2-tailed (0.032) was lower than the sig. level 0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted. It means that the directed reading thinking (DRTA) strategy had a significant effect on students’ reading comprehension.

Analyze Data

Method of the research used quantitative research by using quasi experimental design.has both pre and posttests and experimental and control groups, but no random assignment of subjects. To collect the data, the writer used pre-test and post-test. Pre-test given to students before treatment. Post-test is a test that given to students after treatment. After collecting the data, the writer qualifies it based on its kind. To analyze data, the writer uses twoapproaches. To compare the result of research between experimental class and control class.From the calculation of data, the writer got the result as follow:  from control class: (1) Mean score of pre-test (My1) 61,8 and post-test score (My2) 72,0. It means that average score of control class got increase 10,2. Whereas mean score from experimental class for pre-test (Mx1) 57,9 and post-testscore (Mx2) 78,3. It means that average score from experimental class got increase 20,4 and it got higher increase than from control class. (2) The percentage from control class is 34% and experimental class is 67%, so both average and percentage score both of control class and experimental class got increase but control class got relatively little increase than experimental class.

This novel study investigated the impact of English native speaker kids’ reading website on enhancing Saudi EFL university students’ complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF) in narrative writing. The rationale for this study is the scant literature in the area of estimating narrative writing in terms of CAF. The quasi-experimental method was adopted in this study through a pre-/ post-test in narrative writing. Eleven level three participants were recruited from in this study. Instruments of the study included a pre-post-test in narrative writing, and the CAF measures. A Wilcoxon signed-Rank and Mann Whitney were used in the analysis. The study results found no significant differences at 0.05 level regarding the post administration of syntactic complexity ratios except (CP/T, CP/C, and CN/C) whose results were significant. The sub-constructs of lexical density and lexical variation were enhanced partially, and as a whole, whereas there was no increase/decrease regarding lexical sophistication. For accuracy measure, the results were significant in all ratios at 0.05 level except (EFC/C, and EFTC/S ratios). Concerning fluency measures, the results were insignificant at 0.05 in all ratios except (MLC ratio). The results of the study and their pedagogical implications were discussed.
