This study attempts to discover the effect of using Team Games Tournament Technique on students’ achievement in reading report text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of this research was the eleventh (XI) grade students of SMA Hang Tuah Belawan which consists of 4 parallel classes with the total number of students is 120. The samples of this research were taken by random sampling through lottery technique. The result was class XI1 consisted of 30 students became the experimental group and class XI3 consisted of 30 students became the control group. The experimental group was taught by Team Games Tournament Technique while the control group was taught by using lecture technique. The instrument was used to collect the data was reading report text. After the data were analyzed, it was found that the value of t-test was 5,50 with the degree of freedom (df) = 58 at the level significance 0.05. it means that t-test was higher than t-table (5,50 > 2,000. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted.

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.
