This study aims at investigating the effect of Questioning Strategies on students’ reading comprehension in narrative text. This study was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of the study was the students of grade VIII of SMP Negeri 5 Tebing Tinggi in the academic year 2015/2016, which consisted of 9 parallel classes. Two classes were taken as the sample by applying lottery technique and each groups consisted of 30 students. The sample was divided into two groups. The class VIII-5 was experimental group and class VIII-7 was control group. The Experimental group was taught by applying questioning strategies; otherwise the control group was taught by using conventional strategy. The data of the study were obtained by objectives test. To determine the reliability of the test, KR-20 formula was used. The data calculation showed that the coefficient of reliability of the test was 0.62. It showed that the test was reliable and the reliability was substantial. The data were analyzed by applying t-test formula. After the data were analyzed, the result of the study showed that t-observed (4.29) was higher than t-table (2.00) (t-observed > t-table) at the level of significance of α = 0.05 and at the degree of freedom (df) = 58.

(4) To find out whether there is any interaction between teaching strategies and reading interest on students’ reading comprehension. The samples were two classes of eleventh grade students of Social 1 and Social 2 of SMAN 16 Pekanbaru. The writer took the sample as cluster random sampling technique. The total sample was 60 students. The forms of the test were reading comprehension test and questionnaire. Finally, the results of the research show that: first, there was the significant score (sig.) 0.02 < 0.05 in students’ reading comprehension. It means that there is significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between an experimental class and control class. Second, there was no significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between students who have high reading interest in an experimental and control class. The sig value was 0.841 > 0.05. Third, there was significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between students who have low reading interest in an experimental and control class. The sig value was 0.03 > 0.05. Last, the sig value was 0.045 < 0.05.

   Scaffolding is a process that supports and improves the performance of students before, during, and after reading. Graphic organizers, pictures, and charts can all serve as scaffolding tools. All of them can help, guide and shape students’ thinking when they apply them, i.e., students can discuss, write an essay, or use them with the difficult reading texts and new challenging information. This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of using scaffolding strategies on EFL students’ achievement in reading comprehension. To fulfil the aims of the study, the researchers have adopted two null hypotheses: first, there is no statistically significant difference between the achievement mean scores of students who practice scaffolding strategies and that of students who do not practice them. Second, there is no statistically significant difference between the experimental group students' achievement mean scores in the pre and posttests of reading comprehension. To achieve the aims of the study, a six-week experiment was conducted using pretest-posttest non-equivalent groups design. Two groups of 22 students each were selected from the population of second year students (N=123)/College of Education for Women/Department of English during the academic year (2013-2014). One group was selected as the experimental group that was taught reading comprehension using scaffolding strategies and other group was selected as the control group that was taught according to the lecture method. The students of both groups were exposed to pre and posttests. Using the t-test for two independent samples, it is found that there is a statistically significant difference in favour of the experimental group. This indicates that teaching by scaffolding strategies is more effective than the presentation practice production teaching or the Lecture Method teaching. Conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further studies are put forward.
