Reading is the most important activity in any language class, not only as a source of information and a pleasurable activity, but also as a means of consolidating and extending one’s knowledge of the language. In this case, the teaching of reading is essential for preparing students with the basic reading skill in order to be able to gain information and knowledge from any reading text. In the process of learning, the central goal of reading is to develop learners’ comprehension. In this case, the researcher proposes Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) as a technique of teaching reading in general English classes. The researcher formulates the statement of the problems in the form of questions as: (1) is there any significant improvement of students’ achievement in reading comprehension after being taught by using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR)? (2) How do the students respond to Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) in the teaching of reading comprehension?. Since the present study is to measure the effect of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) towards the students’ reading comprehension achievement, it is classified into quantitative research. Here, the researcher collected numerical data by comparing the results of pre-test and post-test between two groups of experimental study – control and experimental groups. The data is used to investigate whether there is a significant increase in students’ reading comprehension achievement after being given the Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) treatment in reading class. After the data of this research was found to be distributed normally, through the calculation of the normality test, there was also a need to identify the homogeneity of the data of the whole scores of the test for both experimental and control groups. The results of the calculation of the t-test indicate that the score of the tvalue is bigger than ttable (2.18 > 2.021). This means that there is a significant improvement in the students’ achievement after they were treated using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy when studying reading comprehension in the classroom. The results of the analysis of the students’ response to the application of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy in the teaching learning activities in the classroom provide a strong preference for the students study reading comprehension using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy. Since this current study is an action research, it is advisable that future researchers could follow up the results of this study for the development of similar research in the field of teaching methods and strategies. This is strongly suggested because there is still plenty of problems and the essences of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy that need to be uncovered. It is also important to see how Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) could be applied in the other language skills, not only for the students of the tertiary education but also at the secondary education.

This study is aimed at finding out the effect of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on students’ achievement in reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text. Experimental design was applied in this research. The population was the 2014/2015 second year students (grade XI) of SMA Swasta YAPIM Medan. There were two paralel classes that consisted of 34 students. The total number of the population were 68 students. The total number of the sample were 68 students. The researcher selected the sample by using total sampling technique. The sample was divided into two groups, experimental group and control group. The experimental group was taught by using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy while the control group was taught without using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategy. The data were taken by administering the pre-test and post-test to both control and experimental groups. These data were analyzed by using t-test. The result of computing the t-test obviously showed that t-observed (5.61) is higher than t-table (1.99) with the degree of freedom (df= 66) at the level significance 0.05. It means that the alternative hypothesis stating that there is a significant effect of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on students’ achievement in reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text is accepted.

The present study was an attempt to compare the effect of teaching Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) and Content-Based Instruction (CBI) on the reading comprehension of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. To fullfill this objective, a group of 90 intermediate female EFL learners, within the age range of 17 to 19, took a piloted sample of the PET as a pre-treatment proficiency test. Sixty of them were selected as homogeneous learners and were randomly divided into two experimental groups of CSR and CBI. The CSR group receieved CSR strategy training based on Klingner, Vaughan, and Schumm's model (2001), while the CBI group receieved CBI-based strategy training, using Tsai and Shang's (2010) model. At the end of the training, another piloted PET reading test was administered  as the posttest. The pre-treatment reading scores were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test whose results confirmed the pre-treatment homogeneity of the participants. The post-treatment scores were also analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test whose results indicated no significant difference in the reading posttest levels of CBI and CSR groups, U = 423.5, z = -.401, p = .688, r = -.0517. The article concludes with a discussion on the results and presenting some implications.

Implementing social-emotional learning skills into Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), the current study intended to extend the efficacy of CSR for teaching reading strategies when applying it to students in rural areas from a working-class community. To this purpose, forty-four students who made the comparison and the experimental groups were taught reading strategies through CSR and ECSR (Extended Collaborative Strategic Reading), respectively. A reading comprehension test with different question types was implemented to the students as pretest and posttest, and an interview was given at the end of the study to investigate the perception of the students toward reading strategy instruction through CSR and ECSR. Analysis of data indicated that only the ECSR group improved significantly in overall reading comprehension, but the componential analysis of the reading test showed that despite the fact that the CSR group showed no significant improvement in the reading tests in four formats (true–false, multiple-choice, matching, and cloze), the ECSR group improved significantly in reading tests with multiple-choice and cloze test formats. Moreover, although the students in both groups showed a positive view toward the interventions, the students in the ECSR group improved in social-emotional and communication skills. It seems that CSR can be improved to be effective by implementing the emotional component to it.

MAN Pasangkayu, MA DDI Pasangkayu, MA DDI Kasoloang and MA DDI Darul Ulum. This research applied mix method approach. The respondents of this research were 8 English teachers. The instrument for collecting the data was a questionnaire and interview. Quantitative data were collected and analyzed in the first phase of the research and qualitative data were collected in the second phase. The results reveal that the English teachers use several techniques in teaching reading comprehension such as Scanning Technique, Skimming Technique, SQ3R, Speed Reading, Detailed Reading Strategy, and Collaborative Strategic Reading. The result of the interview showed that the teachers tended to use the Scanning-Skimming technique and SQ3R compared to other techniques. According to them, the Scanning-Skimming technique were two techniques that were very effective for students to use when they did English exams, especially reading texts, they find it easier to get information from a reading text. Meanwhile, SQ3R is a technique that is very good for the benefit of reading intensively. The teachers at Madrasah Aliyah Pasangkayu Regency to upgrade in teaching reading are only some of them who have attended seminars/webinars or training from related agencies or schools. As for their efforts in improving their reading teaching skills, only a few of them were creative to learn independently to find references, hold study groups, review journals, and download videos about teaching reading techniques. Every teacher needs to be more creative for the learning process can be successful.
