Abstract

This classroom action research study investigates the efficacy of applying the repeated reading technique in enhancing reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at SMPS IT Al Izzah Sorong. The sample consists of 32 students, and the research design involves two cycles of interventions using a reading test comprising 20 multiple-choice questions as the primary instrument for data collection. The findings reveal a mean score of 70.85 in the pretest, indicating the baseline level of students' reading comprehension abilities. Following the implementation of the repeated reading technique, the posttest results show a notable improvement in students' comprehension levels, with a mean score of 79.62 in Cycle I and a further increase to 84.76 in Cycle II. The progressive trend in students' mean scores across the two cycles highlights the positive impact of the repeated reading technique on students' ability to comprehend and analyze descriptive texts. These results underscore the effectiveness of incorporating interactive and repetitive strategies in language arts instruction to support students' reading comprehension development. The study provides valuable insights into the benefits of utilizing the repeated reading technique as a pedagogical approach to enhance students' reading comprehension skills and promote academic success in language arts education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of implementing Find Someone Who games on the speaking ability of students in the 8A class of SMP IT Al Izzah Sorong. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design to observe the effectiveness of using interactive and engaging language learning activities in improving students' speaking skills. The participants of the study were 30 eighth-grade students from 8A class who were involved in the Find Someone Who games during English language lessons. The research was conducted over a period of six weeks, with data collected through speaking assessments, observations, and student feedback. The findings of the study revealed a significant improvement in the students' speaking ability after the implementation of Find Someone Who games. It can be seen from the pretest mean score was 70.58. In cycle one posttest, the score improved becoming 78.67 and in cycle two posttest become 82.45. The interactive nature of the games encouraged students to engage in meaningful conversations, practice speaking in English, and build confidence in expressing themselves orally. The results suggest that incorporating interactive language learning activities such as Find Someone Who games can be an effective strategy to enhance students' speaking skills in the language classroom.
