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.

The aim of this study is to discover the effect of applying SQ3R method inreading comprehension. Experimental research design is used as the research method.This research took place at SMA Nasrani 2Medan. There were 2 classes chosen as thesample with 30 students in each class. The classes were divided into two groups namelyexperimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by using SQ3Rmethod and the control group was taught by using conventional method. The instrumentused to collect the data was a set of multiple choice tests, which divided as pre test andpost test. The result of the research was analyzed by using t-test formula. The resultshowed that t-test was higher than t-table (4,23>2,00) at the level of significant 0,05with degree of freedom (df) 58. It means that hypothesis alternative (Ha) is acceptedwhich shows that SQ3R method significantly improves the student’s readingcomprehension.

The study is focused on finding out the effect of applying Metacognition Strategy on students’ reading comprehension in reading descriptive text. This study conducted on experimental quantitative design. The population of the research was the Pharmacy students at Institut Deli Husada Deli Tua. There are three hundred forty six students at pharmacy to be the sample of the research. This study was conducted by two randomized groups named Experimental Group and Control Group. The Experimental Group was taught by using Metacognition Strategy but in Control Group didn’t be taught by using Metacogniton Strategy. The instrument of collecting the data was multiple choice tests which consisted of 25 questions. The research Obtain the reliability of the test by using Kuder-Richardson (KR-21) formula. The calculation shown the reliability was 0.57 (Moderate). The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. At the level of significance 0.05 with the deegree of freedom (df) 58, t-observed is 4.1 while t-table is 1.67. Then F-value is 1.41 and F-table is 1.84. It means that there was significant effect of applying Metacogniton strategy on students’ Reading Comprehension in reading descriptive text. So, the conclusion is the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is totally accepted.

This research aims at proving that the use of using Skimming and Scanning techniques are effective in improving reading comprehension of grade-eleven students of SMA Negeri 1 Tana Toraja. The method used in this research was true-experimental design random assignment pretest-posttest control group. The samples of this research were selected from the population of grade-eleven students of SMA Negeri 1 Tana Toraja by using random sampling technique. The instruments of data collection were observation checklist, questionnaire items and tests. The data were analyzed by using t-test statistical and descriptive methods. Based on the analysis, the result score of experimental class is 80.27 and control class is 67.02. By applying level of significance 0.05 and degree of freedom (df) 48, the t-counted value (4.3) is greater than t-table value (2013). Furthermore, based on the result of effectiveness indicators showed the score is 83% it means that the techniques are effective. In other words, applying skimming and scanning techniques are effective in improving students reading comprehension of the grade eleven students of SMA Negeri 1 Tana Toraja.
