The purpose of this research is to know the effects of Reciprocal Teaching toward students’s reading ability of recount text in the eighth grade of SMPN 1 Sine in the Schooling year of 2016/2017. Reciprocal Teaching has four strategies, such as; Predicting, Questioning, Clarifying and Summarizing. The method that is used by the researcher is Experimental Design. The researcher used two classes, the first class as control class and the other one is expeimental class. Each class consists of 20 students. They had different treatment. The control class is not treat by the Reciprocal Teaching but the experiment class treated Reciprocal Teaching. The researcher got the data by using pretest and postest for each class. The test is 50 items of multiple choices. The researcher used SPSS v23 to count the result of the data. The data analysis showed the significancy of the data. The mean score for experimental group has 49, 20. Then, the mean score for control group has 43, 25. Based on the two means, it can be considered that both of the groups are significantly different. The results of the sig. of the Lavene’s test for equality of variances show that it exceeds the level of tolerance p. value .05. The result of sig. is .095. It means that there is no significant different from the two groups and Ho can be rejected. The mean score for group which is treated by using Reciprocal Teaching has 79, 55. Then, the mean score for the group which is not treated by using Reciprocal Teaching has 73, 55. The results of post-test both of the groups show significantly different. The result of independent sample t-test shows the significantly different can be seen from the sig. 004 in t-test for equality of means. This result is lower than the p value .05 of significance tolerance. It can be concluded that Reciprocal Teaching Technique is effective toward students’ reading ability of recount text in the eighthgrade of SMPN 1 Sine.

The participant of the research were the tsudents of the eleventh grade of MA NW Pringgasela. Class Xia as an experimental group and class Xib as a control group. The research instrument used by the wriiter was in the form of reading comprehension test. The data in this research were mainly gathered through the test pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was administrated to see the student’s ability in reading comprehension before using picture were used. The post-test was administrated to see the student’s progress in reading comprehension. After the data was collected, the researcher then analyzed them by using t-test to see whether there was any significant difference in reading comprehension after using picture were aplied.in teaching reading to students of MA NW Pringgasela eleventh grade Xia and Xib. The mean score of experimental group in pre test was 61.5 while the mean score for the control group was 61.1. meanwhile, after using picture on report text The findings of the research show that first using picture was effective to be used were used, their reading skill got improved. It can be inferred from the result of the students post test. In the post test, the mean score for the experimental group changed to 79.5. The t-test showed a significantt difference in teaching reading after using picture on report text. Finally, it could be concluded that using picture was good in teaching reading on report text, and the use of it could improve the students’ ability in reading.

Reading is one of the language skills which is very important to develop students’ knowledge in their studies. To make students understand what they read, it needs techniques. This study aims at finding the effect of roundtable technique to their reading ability. roundtable technique is a technique in which the students are in teams, write a response on their own piece of paper, pass their papers clockwise so each teammate can add to the prior responses. It is an experimental study using One-group Pretest-Posttest design. The data were taken from one class consisting 26 students of the elevent grade of MA HM TribaktiLirboyo Kediri. The data were collected using pre-test, treatment and then post-test. Then the data were analyzed using T-test formula. From data analysis, it can be found that the mean score of post-test (89,92) is higher than mean score of pre-test (58,07). The T-score (at the degree of freedom of 26 is 156,73, that is higher than the t-table  at the level of significance of 1% 2,787 and 2,060 at the level of significance of 5%. So, the T-score (156,73) ≥ T-table, and the level of significance is 1 % (2,787). It means that it is very significant, so the H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. It can be concluded that Roundtable Technique is effective to increases students’ reading comprehension. So it is recommended that Roundtable Technique can be used in teaching  reading .
