Abstract

Reading for junior high school students becomes a fundamental skill because they will use it for further studies at senior high school and university levels. Teaching reading requires various good strategies to arouse students’ motivation and optimize learning outcomes. This descriptive qualitative study investigated strategies used by two English teachers in grades seven and eight at SMPN 2 Bojonegoro, specifically in teaching descriptive and recount texts. The data derived from four reading class meetings were analyzed using an observation checklist and interviews. The results of the study demonstrated that there were 3 strategies used by the teachers, namely RCRR (Read Cover, Remember, Retell), CSR (Collaborative Strategic Reading), and translation. The first two strategies were often applied in grade eight as they were sequential and good for active learners. Meanwhile, translation became the appropriate strategy for grade seven as they had limited vocabulary and were still passive learners. By using numerous reading strategies, it is expected that the students can more easily understand the reading texts. Reading strategies provide students with the tools needed to become aware of their thinking, gain confidence in their ability to think and analyze texts, encounter barriers to comprehending text, and most importantly, make thinking visible and audible.

Abstract

Reading is a vital skill for junior high school students as it is tested in the national assessment. Unfortunately, they often experience comprehension difficulties such as confusion about the meaning of words or sentences, inability to connect ideas in a passage, omission of or glossing over details, difficulty distinguishing significant information from minor details, and lack of concentration during reading. This classroom action research aims to improve reading comprehension by using mind-mapping techniques on the eighth graders of SMPIT Insan Permata, Bojonegoro. Field notes, observation checklists, interviews, questionnaires, and reading tests were used to collect data. The results of the field note showed that the mind mapping technique was 96.7% employed properly in the classroom based on the teaching plan. Furthermore, the result of the interview demonstrated that the mind mapping technique could solve their reading problems and help them understand a text. The results of the observation checklist also indicated that all students were actively involved and gave positive responses during the implementation of the mind mapping technique. Meanwhile, results from pre-and post-questionnaires revealed that previously uninterested students became more active, enthusiastic, and motivated in comprehending a text. The results from the preliminary test and the tests of cycles 1 and 2 indicated that the students’ average scores kept improving from 53.18, 76.36, and 95.45. In addition, the total number of students passing the minimum score of 75 also kept increasing, subsequently by 2, 7, and 11 students in the preliminary test, test 1, and test 2.
