<p>The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between successful readers’ strategies in Persian and English languages, and the impact of instruction of such strategies on English reading comprehension ability. The present study relies on Casanave’s (1998) expanded view of schema theory, the strategy schema, Goodman’s (1971) language transfer or linguistic independent hypothesis and Clarke’s idea of short-circuit or language ceiling hypothesis in ESL or EFL. This study also aims at finding an answer to the question of reading problem versus language problem, first raised by Alderson (1984, pp. 1-27) and then followed by Carrell (1991, pp. 159-179).</p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan suplemen bahan ajar Bahasa Inggris membaca pemahaman yang kontekstual dan berkarakter sesuai model pembelajaran REACT yang memenuhi kelayakan bagi siswa kelas IX SMP. Metode penelitian menggunakan model pengembangan Borg and Gall (1989). Uji validasi dilaksanakan melalui uji ahli, uji perorangan, uji teman sejawat, dan uji kelompok kecil sedangkan uji efektifitas produk melalui pre-tes dan post-test. Data uji oleh ahli isi/desain dan media, perorangan, teman sejawat, dan tanggapan kelompok kecil dikumpulkan melalui angket, sedangkan hasil uji efektivitas penerapan dikumpulkan melalui test. Hasil-hasil uji dianalisis melalui statistik deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Data hasil uji yang dikumpulkan melalui angket dianalisis menggunakan persentase dan hasilnya dikonversikan dengan tabel kualifikasi. Sedangkan hasil uji efektivitas penerapan, pretest dan post-test dianalisis menggunakan uji-t dan hasilnya dibandingkan dengan hipotesis. Hasil penelitian terhadap pengembangan produk menunjukkan bahwa hasil uji validasi ahli pembelajaran terhadap isi sebesar 92,00% dengan kualifikasi hampir sempurna dengan perbaikan sangat ringan, hasil validasi ahli desain sebesar 92,00% dan hasil validasi ahli media sebesar 88,00% dengan kualifikasi sangat baik perlu revisi ringan, hasil validasi perorangan terhadap produk sebesar 92,22%, hasil validasi/uji teman sejawat sebesar 93,33%, hasil validasi kelompok kecil sebesar 92,20%, dan dari hasil pre-test dan post-test diperoleh nilai rata-rata kelas sebesar 66,75 dan 80,87. Uji efektivitas penerapan dilakukan melalui uji-t terhadap hasil pretest dan post-test. Hasil uji efektivitas menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis alternatif diterima, yaitu terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara hasil test sebelum dan sesudah penerapan bahan ajar yang dikembangkan.

<p>This study compares the English reading comprehension and ethical awareness of 7<sup>th</sup> grade students, when using either a directed reading-thinking activity (DR-TA), or a more traditional approach, involving tales of virtue based on His Majesty the King’s teaching concepts. A randomized control group pretest-posttest design was used for the study, and the data were analyzed using one-way MANOVA and t-tests for dependent samples. The results showed a significant difference in English reading comprehension, and ethical awareness of learning English reading, between both groups at .01 level. Students through the DR-TA method had significantly higher English reading comprehension, and increased ethical awareness, at the .01 level.</p>
