Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in learning English, as it enables students to understand written texts effectively and construct meaning from what they read. One of the main viralslot problems faced by junior high school students is difficulty in identifying the main idea of a text, which often results in poor overall comprehension. This difficulty is commonly caused by students’ limited reading strategies and lack of guided support during the reading process. Therefore, an effective instructional strategy is needed to help students improve their reading comprehension skills. This study aimed to improve students’ ability to identify main ideas through the implementation of the Guided Reading strategy at Grade VIII of SMP Swasta Teladan. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. The participants of this study were 30 eighth-grade students. Data were collected using reading comprehension tests, observation sheets, and field notes. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension after the implementation of the Guided Reading strategy. The mean score increased from 61.2 in the pre-test to 82.0 in the post-test of Cycle II. Furthermore, the percentage of students who achieved the minimum mastery criterion (70) increased substantially from 13% in the pre-test to 93% in the final test. Observation results also indicated that students became more active, motivated, and confident during reading activities. In conclusion, the Guided Reading strategy was effective in improving students’ ability to identify main ideas and enhancing their overall reading comprehension. This study implies that Guided Reading can be an effective strategy for supporting students’ reading development in junior high school.

Abstract

Writing is one of the essential skills that students must master in learning English, as it enables them to express ideas and convey information effectively. However, many junior high school students still find it difficult to organize their thoughts and develop coherent report texts. This gap between the importance of writing and students' actual performance highlights the need for effective learning media. This study aims to improve students' writing ability in report text through the use of mind mapping media at the ninth grade of SMP Negeri 8 Pematangsiantar. The research was conducted using classroom action research (CAR) in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were 30 students of class IX-3. The data were collected through writing tests, observation sheets, and field notes. The results of the study showed that the students' writing ability improved significantly after the implementation of mind mapping media. The improvement could be seen in the students' ability to generate ideas, organize paragraphs, and use correct grammar and vocabulary in writing report texts. The mean score of students' writing increased from 63.4 in the pre-test to 81.2 in the post-test of the second cycle. It can be concluded that mind mapping media effectively enhances students' writing ability in report text. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to use mind mapping as an alternative learning tool to make writing activities more structured, engaging, and easier for students to understand.
