<p style="text-align: justify;">The eighth-grade students of SMPN 2 Danau Kembar of West Sumatra, Indonesia, had a problem with their reading skills since they unexpectedly did not understand the texts well. The implementation of an inappropriate learning strategy was criticized as one of the factors contributing to the problem. This study aimed to determine the impact of the 3H strategy on increasing the student's ability to understand the descriptive text. It was quasi-experimental research in which two classes were assigned to experimental and control classes. Each class consisted of 24 pupils (VIII-A) as an experimental class, and 24 pupils (VIII B) as a control class were selected as a sample through an objective inspection. The mean score of understudy reading perception in the test class is 75.71 higher than the mean score of student reading comprehension in the control class is 69.54. The researcher was given 2,91 for the data T calculated and 1,68 for the Ttable. Overall, H0 was rejected, and Ha was received. In view of the findings of the research, teaching reading through the use of the 3H strategy has a positive effect on students reading understanding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh siswa kelas delapan SMPN 2 Danau Kembar di Sumatera Barat</em><em>, Indonesia</em><em> dalam kemampuan mereka </em><em>dalam memahami teks</em><em> merupakan landasan dasar permasalahan dari penelitian ini.

The aim of this research was to examine the directed reading thinking activity (DRTA) strategy on students’ reading skills. This research was classified as experimental research applying a quasi-experimental design. This study involved 60 students of second-grade students of SMPN 1 Jonggat. The students were divided into two groups, the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to DRTA strategy, while the control group was treated using the conventional learning strategy. The data were obtained by using a reading test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data were calculated using SPSS 19.0 for Windows. The descriptive statistic was aimed at finding out the students’ mean score, mode, median, and standard deviation. Hence, the inferential statistic was used to test the research hypothesis using the independent sample t-test. The results of the research showed that the DRTA strategy in teaching reading had a more positive effect than the conventional learning strategy. It was proven that the students’ mean score in the experimental class (78.80) was higher than those in the control group (73.73). In addition, the score of 2-tailed (0.032) was lower than the sig. level 0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted. It means that the directed reading thinking (DRTA) strategy had a significant effect on students’ reading comprehension.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of an online transition curriculum embedded with literacy strategies on reading outcomes for secondary students in grades 9–12 across two states. The quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design had a sample of 338 students with and without disabilities and utilized the AIMS Web Maze Test for 8th Grade Reading Prompts to measure gain scores in reading comprehension. Multilevel linear modeling methods were used to examine the effects of the curriculum intervention on students nested within teachers. Findings show that while both groups increased in reading, the intervention group made larger gains that were statistically significant and corresponded to a large effect size. These results emphasize the importance of embedding reading comprehension strategies within transition services.

This study was designed to investigate the impact of visual mnemonic technique on young and adult Iranian  English learnersʹ vocabulary learning. The current study followed quasi- experimental design. 48 female students were selected based on their performance on Quick Placement Test. The purpose of the QPT was to homogenize the participants based on their proficiency level. The participants were divided into four groups, two experimental and two control groups. Each group consisted of 12 participants. Prior to the treatment, the participants of both groups were given a pretest to determine the knowledge of vocabulary in the experimental and control groups. Then the experimental groups received the visual mnemonic technique for 8 sessions. The control groups went through a traditional method of teaching vocabulary. After 8 sessions, a posttest was administered to all groups. Two-way between-groups ANOVA was run to the results of the vocabulary tests to look at the individual and joint effect of the independent variables on dependent variable. It was concluded that mnemonic technique significantly affected Iranian pre- intermediate EFL learners’ vocabulary leaning.  The study exhibited that the experimental group who received instruction on mnemonic technique outperformed their counterparts in posttest of vocabulary.  However, the differences between the effects of mnemonic technique for young and adult learners who received the specific treatment were not statistically significant (P≥ .05).
