Abstract

Abstract: The article aims to investigate the efficacy of Reciprocal Teaching Method (RTM) on reading comprehension to EFL students. The subject of the study was two classes from the second grade students of Ilmu Agama Islam (IAI) in Probolinggo. There were 44 students emerging from XI IAI 1 and XI IAI 2 which consisted of 22 each. Nonrandomized sampling was chosen to select the group. To decide the groups into control and experimental, coin was used. The XI IAI 1 class then became the experimental group (taught using reciprocal teaching method), meanwhile the XI IAI 2 was the control group (taught using conventional as it is). Both classes acquired mixed levels of reading achievement. It means that both classes were at the same level of reading comprehension. After the treatment, it revealed that those who were taught using RTM gained better result than those were taught using the conventional one. Key Words: Reciprocal Teaching Method, Reading Comprehension, Conventional Strategy

Abstract

Abstract: EFL students have several problems in understanding English texts. These issues are shown when the students have no idea with unfamiliar vocabularies and the concepts of the text. Previewing a text can be used for stimulating prior knowledge. These activities can be practiced to increase the accuracy and efficiency of students reading. This research used quantitative research; quasi experimental design. There were 52 first year students as the research participants and divided into control and experimental group. The treatment given was providing preview text of “Birth of Blues” which consisted of 372 words, while the control group were given the same passage without preview text. The writer provided an objective test to measure the students’ comprehension toward the text. The result showed that the mean of control group was (M=52.31) and the mean of experimental group was (M= 67.69). In the same case, the p value was 0.000 (p < 0.05). After knowing the result of the data, it indicated that providing preview text strongly affected freshmen’s reading comprehension. In conclusion, the more the students can do previewing before reading the text, the more they can understand the whole text easily and they will achieve better reading skill. Keywords: Preview, reading, comprehension
