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.

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.

ABSTRACT In this classroom action research, the researcher used the model of classroom action research developed by Kemmis and Mc Taggart (1999). There are four steps of teaching. Before doing those four steps, the researcher did reconnaissance step by observing the class situation and interviewing the class teacher and the students to know the problems. After knowing the problems, the researcher started to do the four steps of teaching they were planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The findings of this result showed that teaching reading comprehension using collaborative strategic reading improved the students` reading comprehension skill. In the first cycle the result was not satisfactory.  The students were still passive in class because they did not understand about the method and many of them still found difficulty in understanding the texts. Their mean score of the first cycle was under the MMC. The criterion of success is when students give good response to this method, and also get the mean score that reach the MMC. After implementing the second cycle, the researcher found that the students were more enthusiastic because they knew about the topics of the texts and enjoyed comprehending the texts using CSR. They felt that the method was not boring. Besides that, the students` mean score was 72.85. The second cycle succeeded and proved that the students` mean score improved. It was above the MMC.

The design of it was an action research by covering three cycles, and every cycle consists of five meetings. Planning, acting, observing, and reflecting were implemented in every cycle to get a clear data. The research applied two sorts of data collecting: qualitative and quantitative data. Observation, recording, and interview were conducted to obtain qualitative data, while the quantitative data was gained through test. The research finding reflected that implementing Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) Strategy can help students in comprehending the text while answering the questions. The students were able to categorize the questions as well to avoid spending too much time while finding the answer. The implementation of QAR Strategy in teaching-learning process was getting better cycle to cycle, the students were energetic, active, enthusiastic, and felt much more confident to take a part in reading learning activity eventually. It showed that teacher’s teaching strategy had positive impact to students’ reading comprehension, and could arouse students’ motivation and participation as well to learn which greatly influenced their reading comprehension skill. It is helpful for teacher as a framework for directing questioning activities and comprehension instruction in pre-, while-, and post-reading. Implementing QAR in reading comprehension can ensure that it does not only focus on lower-level skills and question but in high level as well and it can motivate students to think critically and creatively.  Considering QAR is helpful and beneficial for both teacher and students, the institution may implement QAR for any grades and school subjects in order to make students familiar with higher-level question. Therefore, it will be no longer difficult to comprehend the text for students who have been treated by implementing QAR.</p>
