The positive effect that innovative techniques have has been a broad debate in recent years especially in the matter of teaching reading comprehension. Semantic map is one of the latest techniques used to develop reading comprehension. The current study attempts to provide a more detailed investigation regarding the effects of using semantic map on students' reading comprehension achievement. To investigate the objective of this paper, a null hypothesis is used claiming that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group, which is used semantic map technique in teaching reading comprehension and those of the control group which is taught by traditional techniques. A sample of 60 students has been chosen randomly to be divided into equal groups. After 10 weeks of experiment, a posttest is applied for both groups. Then the T-test is used to collect and analyze the data. The findings from this investigation proved that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group and those of the control group in the reading comprehension achievement posttest for the benefit of the experimental group.

This study is aimed for applying Read Encode Annotate and Ponder (REAP) technique for teaching reading comprehension. The objectives of the research are, (1) to find out the students’ reading comprehension after being taught without using REAP technique. (2) to find out the students’ reading comprehension after being taught by using REAP technique. (3) to know whether there is any significant difference of students’ reading comprehension being taught by using REAP technique and without REAP technique. Following the study case the writer used quantitative research. The research design of this study is true experimental design. The sample is the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 6 Semarang. There are three classes used, they are the experimental class, control class and a class to be tried out. The writer used test to collect the data. The data was gained from the tests that were given to the students. The study found that the mean score for the class taught without REAP technique was 78.16 and the mean score for the class taught with using REAP technique was 92.05. The students’ score that was taught by using REAP technique was better than students’ score that taught without REAP technique. There was any significant difference between experimental group and control group, because the computation t-test was 7.5. So that  is higher than  because 7.5 > 2.00. It means that is acceptable and  is rejected. Based on the study, it can be concluded that using REAP technique to increase reading comprehension has positive influence to the students. So, English teachers have to use REAP technique to increase the students’ reading comprehension.

This study was aimed at finding out the effect of applying Learning Together Method on the students’ reading comprehension. This study used the experimental design. The population of this study was the students of SMP Negeri 1 Muara. There were sixty students of eighth class as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with two randomized groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by applying Learning Together Method while control group was taught without applying Learning Together Method. The instrument of collecting the data was multiple choice test which consists of 20 items. To obtain the reliability of the test, the researcher used Kuder-Richardson (KR-21) formula. The calculation shows the reliability was 0.82(high). The data were analyzed by using t-test. The calculation shows that t-observed (4.9) is higher than t-table (2.00) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that teaching reading comprehension by applying Learning Together Method significantly affect reading comprehension. Keywords: Learning Together Method, Reading Comprehension

The scaffolded reading experience framework consists of a set of prereading, during-reading, and post-reading activities to use with any genre of text, including fiction and nonfiction. The aim of this study was the effectiveness of scaffolded reading experience in teaching reading comprehension to the students of Musi Rawas University? The method used in this research was quasi-experimental method. The population of this study was all of the students of Musi Rawas University. The sample of this study was students of accounting study progrom in first semester taken through convenience non random sampling. The data were collected through a written test. It was pre-test and post test. The data analyzed through t-test formula. From this study it was found that the students’ pre-test average score in the experimental group was 55 and in the control group was 53.91. Meanwhile the students’ post-test average score in the experimental group was 80 and the students’ average score in the control group was 75. In addition of t-obtained were 2.049 where the value of t-table was 1.684 at df 74 in significance level of 0.05 and with one-tailed testing.

In an EFL context reading is a very important skill in language learning. This study aims at finding if instruction of reading strategies in two different collaborative and non-collaborative approaches affects reading comprehension and attitude toward reading differently. Forty-five Iranian adult female EFL learners at pre-intermediate general English proficiency level in Iran Language Institute (ili) were selected and divided into three groups of 15 students. One group functioning as the control group did not receive any strategy instruction; the second group, as the first experimental group, received reading strategy instruction in collaborative groups (Collaborative Strategic Reading or csr), and the third group considered as the second experimental group received reading strategy instruction in a non-collaborative way. A reading comprehension test and a reading attitude questionnaire were given to all three groups at the beginning of the term as pretests and after the experiment as posttests. The results obtained through one-way anova indicated that though both experimental groups outperformed the control group, there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in reading comprehension and attitude toward reading. Therefore, it is up to teachers to weigh the advantages of using the collaborative approach to teaching reading against its disadvantages.
