Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a major challenge in EFL learning because students must integrate textual information, vocabulary, inference, and background knowledge to understand narrative texts. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Read, Cover, Remember, Retell (RCRR) strategy on eleventh-grade students’ narrative reading comprehension at SMAN 2 Tanjungpinang. The research used a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of 72 students, divided into an experimental class taught using RCRR and a control class taught using GIST. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test multiple-choice reading comprehension tests covering main ideas, vocabulary in context, inference, and specific information. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney U tests. The findings show that both groups improved, but the RCRR class achieved higher post-test results and stronger learning gains. This study implies that RCRR is more effective for promoting active, structured, and reflective comprehension of narrative texts.

Abstract

The community service activity conducted in Toapaya Selatan aimed to introduce an innovative planting and fertilizer applicator tool based on PVC pipes as an appropriate technology. This program was motivated by the persistence of manual farming practices that require excessive labor, time, and costs, while often resulting in uneven fertilizer distribution that reduces crop productivity. The implementation method adopted a participatory approach, consisting of preparation, counseling, demonstrations, field practice, and evaluation involving local farmers. Training sessions included hands-on practice to ensure that participants not only understood the theoretical aspects but also acquired practical skills in using and assembling the tool. The results indicate that the application of the pipe-based tool improved labor efficiency, reduced fertilization time, and enhanced the uniformity of fertilizer distribution on plantation land. These improvements were directly reflected in better crop maintenance and more sustainable use of resources. Farmers’ high enthusiasm and active participation demonstrated the success of this simple yet impactful technology transfer. Nevertheless, several challenges were encountered, including limited technical understanding among some participants, difficulties in replicating the tool independently, and restricted availability of tool-making materials in the local market. Overall, this innovation has the potential to contribute significantly to increasing local agricultural productivity. Further training, continuous mentoring, and institutional as well as financial support from the village government are strongly recommended to ensure the sustainability, scalability, and long-term adoption of this appropriate technology.
