This study focuses on English teachers’ methods in teaching reading comprehension of procedure text. The main purpose of this study is to describe the methods used by English teachers and reveal the strengths and weaknesses of those methods used for teaching reading comprehension of procedure texts. The research was a qualitative case study. The participants of this research were two English teachers at one of junior high schools in Semarang  in the academic year of 2019/2020. In collecting data, several data collection instruments were used, including: interview, observation guideline and document analysis checklist. The findings showed that English teachers planned the teaching materials and strategies in advance. They also used various methods in teaching reading of procedure text. Both teachers almost used the same methods which were audio-visual method, scaffolding, grammar-translation method, and project-based learning. The difference was in the step of the strategy implementation. In addition, the findings showed that the most appropriate method in teaching reading comprehension was grammar-translation method since it helped students comprehend the procedure text. There were several students who still had a hard time following the lessons. Teachers are supposed to make sure that all students have understood the whole text or not and they should observe the students’ situation and needs so that the teaching and learning is contextual.

English is the first foreign language in Indonesia which is considered important in transferring and developing science and technology, arts and building the relationship among countries. Based on the 1994 basic course outline, the purpose of English teaching at Technical Senior High Schools is to develop the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The teaching of those four language skills can be done in integrative way in which the emphasis is on developing the students’ reading skill. The less attention to a certain language skill may cause the students’ unbalanced mastery of English. However, teaching reading using certain method like grammar-translation method is also important because by it students will be able to understand the English text, grammar and structure and translation well through which they will be a means of improving other skills such as speaking. From the reasons, the researcher wants to study about The Use of Grammar-Translation Method to Teach reading to the Tenth Class Students at SMK YPM 12 Tuban Academic Year 2020/2021. This title is chosen because he is sure that reading is also important besides speaking, writing and listening.   This study is in form of descriptive analysis which means that he describes what he finds in the real life and he reveals them to prove the rightness of his assumption. He tries to find the data and process them and just describes his finding. He analyzes and describes about the use of grammar-translation method in teaching reading and the problems the teacher and students face in the process of teaching and learning. Besides them, it is also prominent to tell the process or activities in the teaching of reading using grammar-translation method. It is hoped that some alternatives to solve these problems can be found. Therefore it is expected that this study will be useful for English teacher as the alternative method to teach reading, for the readers to add their knowledge about different ways in teaching reading and for the students in general to be the reference to add their knowledge and to do further research.

This study is about the implementation of reciprocal teaching in teaching reading comprehension. The objectives of the study are:1) to find out if students who are taught through reciprocal teaching have a difference significant than those who are taught through grammar translation method, 2) to find out what the students’ responses toward the implementation of reciprocal teaching in teaching reading comprehension. The method in this study is quantitative and qualitative method. The population is all the second grade students in SMPN 4 Banda Aceh, and the sample is the VIII/I and the VIII/II. The sample was chosen by using random sampling. To obtain the data related to the implementation of reciprocal teaching the writer gave the pre-test and post-test to two groups; experimental group and control group. The instrument used to collect the data was test and questionnaires. The test is used to see the result of achievement of students in reading comprehension while the questionnaires are used to get the students’ responses toward the implementation of reciprocal teaching. The quantitative data was analyzed by means of the statistical procedure in order to see whether there is a difference significant between reciprocal teaching method and grammar translation method in teaching reading comprehension. The questionnaires were analyzed by using the percentage formula for each question item. After processing the data, it found that there is a significant difference between reciprocal teaching and grammar translation method and the students’ response are positive. It can be concluded that reciprocal teaching is better than grammar translation method in teaching reading comprehension. This is proved by the test result where t-test score is higher than t-table (2.45 >1.70) and the students’ ability in the experimental group increases up to 21% while in the control group the students’ ability reaches only 9%. This means that the alternative hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected.

This study aimed to find out whether teaching-learning reading comprehension using Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) would get better results than using Direct Instruction approach. The research used a quantitative method. The population of the research was students from the Islamic University of Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari. The researcher used cluster random sampling to select two sample groups, the control group and the experimental group. The control group with 25 students was the class that continued to use the Direct Instruction approach. The experimental group, with 20 students, was the class tested using the CTL approach. The test was a written test with five multiple choice questions plus an essay test. The test was used to obtain the data. The students’ scores were the data for the study of reading comprehension comparing CTL and Direct Instruction. Based on the results of the study, the researcher found that CTL was more effective than Direct Instruction because the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted so that CTL was found to be better for teaching reading skills. CTL encourages materials that are related to the students’ surrounding so that it helps them use English related to their daily activities.

Reading Comprehension is the ability to read text, process it and understand the meaning. It relies on two, interconnected abilities: Word reading be able to decode the symbols on the page and language comprehension being able to understand the meaning of words and sentences . In fact, students generally feel bored and unmotivated in learning English especially in reading skill because English is different from Indonesian so that the students have difficulty in understanding reading English text. They do not know the meaning of some words in the text. Therefore, the teacher’s role becomes important in the teaching and learning process especially in teaching reading. Therefore, appropriate media should be chosen to motivate their students not only to read the text but also comprehend what they read. One of the media that can be used and applied by the teacher is Composite Pictures. A Composite Picture is a large single picture which shows a scene in which a number of people can be seen doing several things. Thus, to know whether or not there was a significant effect of using Composite Pictures on reading comprehension achievement; Composite Pictures was used as media in teaching reading in this research.
