This research is aimed to investigate the students’ reading skill in descriptive text by using reciprocal questioning. The design of the research was pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The research used instrument test. The rate percentage in post-test was higher than the rate percentage in pre-test in teaching reading. It indicated by the students’ mean score of post-test (58,07) in fair classification was greater than pre-test (52,11) in poor classification. The pre-test low category and post-test was high category. And the value of t-table was 1,706, while the value of t-test was 0,23. It means that the t-tabel value was greater than t-test (1,706 ≥ 0,23). The result of the research proved that by using of Reciprocal Questioning was not significant better to be used in teaching the students’ reading. From the statement above, it can be said the alternative hypothesis (H1) was rejected and null hypothesis (H0) was accepted. It cannot be improved reading skill by using of Reciprocal Questioning technique.

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of phonics approach in teaching reading for the seventh graders of SMP Negeri 1 Aikmel, East Lombok, and to what extent it is effective. This research was designed as  pre-experimental with read aloud test as the instrument to collect data. The sample of this research consisted of 36 students of SMP Negeri 1 Aikmel. The sample was taken through purposive sampling. In collecting the data, a pre-test and a post-test were given to the students. SPSS 17 for Windows and paired-sample t-test were applied to analyze the collected data. After, calculating the data, it could be known that there was a significant difference in the mean scores between pre-test and post-test, t(df=35) = 23.314 at p = 0.001, meaning that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted.

The problem of this study was is it significantly effective to use Inquiry Based Learning Approach in Teaching Reading for the first Semester of English Education Program. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out whether or not it was significantly effective to use Inquiry Based Learning in teaching reading to first semester of English Education Program . In this study, the writer proposed two hypotheses. They were null hypothesis Ho and alternative hypothesis Ha. The method applied was pre experimental with one group pre test posttest design. The population of this study was all of first semester of English Education Program  which consisted of 45 students. The sample was taken through cluster random sampling. Which consisted of 20 students. The data were collected by means of test consisting 20 items of multiple choices. The data obtained were analyzed through three techniques 1 Individual Score,  and 2 Matched t test. The results of this study shows that  the students mean  score in the pre-test was 60.13 and those in the  post-test was 75.25. The result of matched t test was 5.25, which was higher than t table value 1.725 of 20 with 95 percent significant level for one tailed test. Therefore, the null hypothesis Ho was rejected and the alternative hypothesis Ha was accepted. It means that it was significantly effective to use Based Learning Approach in teaching reading to first semester of English Education Program .

This research applied experimental design with a quantitative approach. It was quasi-experimental research type. The instrument research used test (pre-test and post-test) and documentation. The population of this research was the whole class XI  students of  SMAN 3 Pamekasan and the sample of this research was XI-MIPA3 as control group and XI-MIPA4 as experimental group. The control group was 30 students and either the experimental group. So, the sample of this research was 60 students. the The data collected were analyzed by using t-test formula to find whether any effect of using physical line-up game on students’ grammar achievement at the eleventh grade of SMAN 3 Pamekasan. The result of this study showed that t-value ( ) is higher than t-table ( ) either 5% or 1% where (5% = 1,67 < 3,33) or (1% = 2,39 < 3,33). But in this case, the researcher used significant on 5% (5% = 1,67 < 3,33). Thus, it can be concluded that Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) was accepted and the Ho (Null Hypothesis) was rejected. So, the effect was far in achieving the student’s ability of grammar comprehension by using physical line-up game.   Abstrak: Penelitian ini menerapkan desain eksperimen dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Jenis penelitian kuasi-eksperimental. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan tes (pre-test dan post-test) dan dokumentasi. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas XI SMAN 3 Pamekasan dan sampel penelitian ini adalah XI-MIPA3 sebagai kelompok kontrol dan XI-MIPA4 sebagai kelompok. Jumlah siswa pada Kelompok kontrol dan kelompok eksperimen adalah 33 siswa. Jadi, sampel penelitian ini adalah 66 siswa. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan menggunakan rumus t-test untuk mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh penggunaan physical line-up game terhadap prestasi grammar siswa pada kelas XI SMAN 3 Pamekasan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa t-nilai (t0) lebih tinggi dari t-tabel (tt) baik 5% atau 1% di mana (5% = 1,67 <3,33) atau (1 % = 2,39 <3,33). Tetapi dalam hal ini, peneliti menggunakan signifikan pada 5% (5% = 1,67 <3,33). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Ha (Hipotesis Alternatif) diterima dan Ho (Null Hypothesis) ditolak. Jadi, efeknya jauh dalam mencapai kemampuan pemahaman gramatika siswa dengan menggunakan physical line-up game.

The writer gave pre-test, treatment, and post-test to one group. The sample of this study was 30 students of the elementary second level students at SDN 018 Samarinda. In analyzing data, the writer used t-test to find out the significance difference between the result before treatment (pre-test) and after treatment (post-test).In pre-test, from 30 students, 7 students got A (excellent), 6 students got B (good), 7 students got C (fair), 6 students got D (poor), and 4 students got E (fail). In post-test, from 30 students, 13 students got A (excellent), 8 students got B (good), 8 students got C (fair), 1 student got D (poor), and no students got E (fail). The mean score of vocabulary before treatment (pre-test) was fair (67,7) and the mean score of vocabulary after treatment (post-test) was good (78,7). The result of the findings of the study showed t-count (6.358) is greater ( ˃ ) than t-table (2.045) at level of significant (p) = 5% and df = 29. It means the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that the use of Video give very significant effects on vocabulary to the elementary second level students of SDN 018 Samarinda
