This classroom action research was conducted in a State Islamic Junior High School in Tanjung Pinang at the 8th grade in academic year 2020-2021. The purpose of the research was to describe how mind mapping can improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts. The participants of the research consisted of 27 students. To gather the research data, the researchers used observation and test. The test was administered three times (pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2). Then, the data got from the observation were analyzed qualitatively while those from test were analyzed quantitatively. The result of pre-test was 9 students (33,3%) scored ≥70. In the post-test first cycle, the score of 16 students (59,25%) was ≥70, and in the post-test cycle II, 20 students (74,1%) scored ≥70. The results of the tests showed that the number of students who got score ≥70 improved. Meanwhile, the result of the observation showed that the use of mind mapping was successful in improving students’ reading comprehension. The students became more interested and more motivated to learn. It showed that ≥70% of the students participated actively in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers to use this technique to upgrade students’ learning achievement.

The study deals with the Contextual Teaching and Learning of the students’ reading comprehension at junior high school. Contextual Teaching and Learning is a new alternative for every teachers to relate the materials to the real world. The aims of the research are to analyze the effect of non and CTL method of the students’ reading comprehension.  The research method is an experimental method. The data analysis is taken from the two classess. Then, they divided into two  groups, the control and experimental group. The major findings of the study shows that the effect of Contextual Teaching and Learning on the students’ reading comprehension is better than the non CTL method-lecture method for the junior high school students.

Quasi Experimental

Reading comprehension has been considered as a major issue in the Indonesian EFL context including in the junior high schools. Whereas in fact, Indonesian junior high school students have been asked by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture to understand various English texts effectively. Therefore, in an attempt to comply with the required criteria above, this paper proposes a possible solution to cope with Indonesian students’ reading comprehension issue. In this sense, CIRC proposed as a possible technique to enhance Indonesian junior high school students’ reading comprehension. Specifically, this research attempts to measure the effectiveness of CIRC technique on students’ reading comprehension at grade seven of a junior school located in West Sumatera, Indonesia namely the MTsN Koto Baru Junior High School. Accordingly, the study employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing students’ pre-test and post-test scores to measure the effectiveness of CIRC towards students’ reading comprehension. The different result between the pre-test and post-test tested using the paired sample t-test. It was found that students’ scores on pre-test (before treatment) was lower than post-test (after treatment). Thus, it can be inferred that CIRC was effective to increase students’ reading comprehension.

This study concerns with improvement of students’ achievement in writing recount text through mind mapping technique in Junior High School. The subject of the study was the students in SMP Free Methodist 1 Medan, class VIII-1 which consisted of 37 students. This study was conducted by applying Classroom Action Research. The procedure of this research was done in two cycles in six meeting. The mean of students’ score in test I was 67.24. It was increased in test II to 72.78 and in test III, it became 78.79. The improvement was not only showed in the mean of the students’ score but also in the number of students who got point up to 75. In test I, the number of students who got point up to 75 was only 5.4%. In test II, the number was increased to 29.8% while in test III it became 81.1%. Based on the diary notes, observation sheet and questionnaire sheet, it was found that the students gave good responds in the teaching and learning process. Based on the result of quantitative and qualitative data, it can be concluded that the application of mind mapping technique had improved the junior high school students’ achievement in writing recount text.   Keywords: Writing, Recount Text, Mind Mapping, Junior High School

Writing Skill

This study aimed to determine the factors affecting writing skill quality and the level of their contribution to help language teachers to formulate more effective strategies using CAT to enhance writing skill. The correlating factors discussed in this research were students’ reading comprehension skill, vocabulary mastery, and attitude toward language.  The study applied quantitative approach with simple and multiple correlation and regression techniques. The samples of the study were 100 students taken using stratified random sampling technique from a population of 2000 junior high school students in Surakarta City. The data were collected using multiple choice test for students’ reading comprehension skills and vocabulary mastery, writing assignments, and questionnaires for their attitudes toward the Indonesian language. The findings showed that there are positive correlations between the independent variables, either individually or simultaneously, with writing skill. The individual contribution levels is 44.75% of reading comprehension skill, 27.70% of vocabulary mastery, and 28.5% of attitude toward language. As for the simultaneous correlation of the three determining factors make up to 45.16%. contribution level to writing skill quality. Thus it can be concluded that reading comprehension has the most contribution to writing skill compared to vocabulary mastery and attitude toward language. The identified levels of contribution can be taken into consideration in formulating teaching strategies and materials to enhance writing skill quality.
