This study deals with the effect of Reciprocal Teaching Method on Students’ Achievement on Reading Comprehension on narrative text. The population of the study was the 2015/2016 academic year second semester grade XI students of SMA Negri 1 Paranginan Humbang Hasundutan. The samples were two classes, namely XI IPA 1 and XI IPA 2, with the total was 60 students selected by applying random sampling. The sample was divided into two groups. Experimental group (XI IPA 1) was taught by applying Reciprocal Teaching Method while the control group (XI IPA 2) was taught without applyingReciprocal Teaching Method. The data of this research were taken from the students’ score of reading narrative text test. The calculation showed that the coefficient of the test was 0.64, it showed that the test was reliable and the reliability was substantial. 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 Reciprocal Teaching Method on students’ achievement in reading narrative text. After analyzing the data, the finding indicates that t-observed was higher than t-table (4,00 > 2.00) at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. It means that applying Reciprocal Teaching Method has significantly affected on the students’ achievement in reading narrative text. It implies that Reciprocal Teaching Method is a significant technique for teaching reading narrative text.

This study aims at investigating the effect of Questioning Strategies on students’ reading comprehension in narrative text. This study was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of the study was the students of grade VIII of SMP Negeri 5 Tebing Tinggi in the academic year 2015/2016, which consisted of 9 parallel classes. Two classes were taken as the sample by applying lottery technique and each groups consisted of 30 students. The sample was divided into two groups. The class VIII-5 was experimental group and class VIII-7 was control group. The Experimental group was taught by applying questioning strategies; otherwise the control group was taught by using conventional strategy. The data of the study were obtained by objectives test. To determine the reliability of the test, KR-20 formula was used. The data calculation showed that the coefficient of reliability of the test was 0.62. It showed that the test was reliable and the reliability was substantial. The data were analyzed by applying t-test formula. After the data were analyzed, the result of the study showed that t-observed (4.29) was higher than t-table (2.00) (t-observed > t-table) at the level of significance of α = 0.05 and at the degree of freedom (df) = 58. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted. It means that there is significant effect of questioning strategies on students’ reading comprehension in narrative text.

Abstract:  Scaffolding is a teaching learning strategy in which the teacher and learners engage in a collaborative problem-solving activity with the support and guidance of the teacher to enable learners become increasingly independent. Scaffolding strategy can help students solved the task by their own and student can be understand the material. The purpose of this research is to know whether the use of scaffolding strategy is effective or not in teaching reading comprehension at the first grade students of SMA N 4 Mataram in academic year of 2017/2018. This study used Quasi Experimental Non-Equivalent Control Group Designs, the researcher was used pre-test and post-test. The sample of this research were all students of the first grade at SMAN 4 Mataram that consist of 78 students, 39 students of experimental group and 39 students of control group. The experimental group was taught by scaffolding strategy in teaching reading comprehension and the control group was taught without scaffolding strategy in teaching reading comprehension. The techniques of collecting data in this research used pre-test and post-test. Based on the result, the means score of students experimental group was 23,17 and the control group was 16,70. It was shows that score of experimental group was higher than control group. Whereas, the score of t-test was 2,70 and the score of t-table was 2,00 on the level of significance 0,05. this research shows that scaffolding strategy in teaching reading comprehension at the first grade students of SMAN 4 Mataram in Academic Year 2017/2018 is effective.

The background of this research was based on problems that faced by students in reading class.The use of Reciprocal Method can be used as a teaching method to help teacher in teaching learning, especially in teaching reading comprehension. The study is aimed at responding the following question: 1) How is the implementation of reciprocal method in teaching reading comprehension?, 2)Is reciprocal method effective for students in learning reading comprehension. This research was conducted by using quasi experimental method.The method of the research was quantitative and qualitative. Data were obtained by giving test to the students of second grade (VIII C as experimental Group and VIII E as control group). The instruments that were used to collect data were pre-test and post-test as main instrument and questionnaire as second instrument. The test was used to know students' ability in reading comprehension before and after the teacher implementing Reciprocal Method. Questionnaire was used to know students' perception during teaching learning process. The data for this experimental study were students' reading pre-test post-test scores and students' activites results, and the reading scores were analyzed with Fraenkle and Wallen formula. The result of t is 6,6 t  is 1,997 for α = 5%. So the account table conclusion is t  is higher than t  (t > t ). The research found that the reading account table account table scores of the experimental group is higher than the control group and it is also supported by the students' perception.Furthermore, the students' perception results indicate that there were positive responses towards the use of Reciprocal Method in teaching reading. It was effective both in arousing students' motivation and in improving their reading comprehension. From the results, using Reciprocal Method in teaching reading comprehension was expected to be a new contribution for helping teacher to conduct an effective and interesting learning in the classroom.

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of the reflection-based reciprocal teaching (RBRT) approach for Myanmar upper secondary school students’ reading comprehension in English. In the RBRT approach, the main frame is based on the reflective teaching model for reading comprehension (Oo and Habók in Int Electron J Elementary Educ 13(1):127–138, 2020), in which the reciprocal teaching method (involving questioning, clarifying, summarizing, and predicting) was applied. This study used cluster randomized trials. Two groups participated in the research: the experimental group, who were taught with the RBRT approach, and the control group, who were taught with traditional methods. Results showed that the RBRT approach has a strong effect on students’ English reading comprehension achievement. The experimental group increased its achievement on the posttest significantly, and the students’ results showed high effect size. It was also found that teachers’ reflection on the instructional context had a considerable impact on raising students’ reading comprehension achievement. The RBRT approach can be successfully applied in the classroom environment to develop students’ reading comprehension in English in Myanmar.
