This study aimed to find the effect of “schema development technique” on students’ reading ability at senior high school students. It is also aimed to find whether schema development technique could improve students’ reading ability on the aspect of literal comprehension, inference and vocabulary building. The population was the tenth graders of SMA Negeri Rejang Lebong, from which two classes were selected as the research sample. The instrument was a reading test. The instrument draft had been tried out. The try out was done to find the validity and item characteristics of the original draft. From 90 try out item questions, 42 of them were found to be valid and 48 were invalid. The reliabilty index was 0,898 (high). The findings of the research revealed that schema development technique was effective for improving students overall comprehension. It was also effective for improving two aspects (literal aspect and vocabulary building). However, it was not effective for improving students’ reading ability on inference aspect. It’s caused by the nature of inference which requires for background knowledge towards the reading text.

Few studies focus on measuring the morphemic and semantic analyses skills of learners. Thus, this descriptive-comparative study aimed to find out the level of morphemic and semantic analyses skills and if a significant difference exists in the levels of morphemic and semantic analyses skills of 359 senior high school students as a whole and grouped according to grade level, track, and sex. Results showed low morphemic and average semantic analyses skills, a non-significant difference in both morphemic and semantic analyses skills when students were grouped according to grade, but a significant difference in both skills when grouped by track and sex. Despite the students' better semantic analysis than morphemic analysis skills, they still need heavy to light intervention and enhancement to develop their skills further. Thus, a vocabulary building module was designed for the senior high school students.

This study aims at developing students’ pronunciation skills by using English movies as a teaching media and investigating the students’ perception of the use English movie in learning pronunciation. To attain the objectives, a two-cycled action research was conducted to 35 tenth graders at SMA Angkasa 2, East Jakarta in March to May 2017. Data were collected using test, some observation sheets, and a questionnaire. The results revealed that the movies developed the students’ pronunciation skills. Their poor pronunciation (indicated by the pretest mean score of 48,11) developed after participating in Cycle I (mean score, 62.5) and developed higher after Cycle II (mean score, 76.08). Along with the increase of frequency of watching the movies and the researcher’s improvement in facilitating the actions as well, the students’ enthusiasm and involvement in the actions keep on increasing. It was concluded that using use movies as teaching media is effective to develop students' pronunciation skills. EFL teachers are, therefore, recommended to use movies as an alternative media to develop students' pronunciation skills. Further studies are recommended to carry out experimental studies to see the degree of effectiveness of using movies in pronunciation teaching to senior high school students.

The study deals with the developing interactive media for senior high school students. The objective of this study is to find out how to develop interactive media for better speaking skill of senior high school students. The research was conducted by using Research and Development (R&D). The subject of this research was 2016/2017 students of the eleventh grade of Class XI IPA4 in SMAN 1 Batang Kuis. The number of the students was 30 students. The data of this study was collected by using need analysis questionnaire and experts’ judgment. Need analysis questionnaire was calculated by using percentage to get the information of students’ need before developing interactive media. Experts’ judgment was calculated by using likert data, mean and criteria interval of expert judgment to know the validity of interactive media which has been developed. After the data analyzed, it was found that the experts’ judgment result was 4.80 which had a very good criteria interval.

This study is about the characteristics of Physics Module to improve students of Senior High School reasoning ability-based on Multirepresentation. The problem of study is how characteristics of Physics Modules Based on Multirepresentation to improve students ability to reason? This problem is described in two study questions. First, is the Physics Module based on Multirepresentation contains examples of the application context of the image phenomenon ofphysics? Second, how is the writing pattern of Physics Module? This study is about Physics module development based on Multirepresentation, using the mix method model of investigation that collecting qualitative data, then construct the draft Module Physics, so the Module Physics ready to be validated. Subjects in this study is a Physics module which can improve the reasoning ability of students in Senior High School. While respondents were Senior High School students majoring in science at the students in Senior High School. Data collection techniques are observations, questionnaires, and documents. Data described in qualitative research. The results showed that the physics module based on Multirepresentation contains examples of application of the principle of material in the context of the image physical phenomenon ; and has a certain writing pattern, which has a chapter title sequence, sub-chapter title, instructions for use, a description of the material, sample questions, questions test capabilities, and bibliography.
