The study selected participants from Madrasah Aliyah (MA) NW Narmada, Indonesia. The study recruited 20 students taken from the second grade of MA NW Narmada. Pre- and post-proficiency tests were used to assemble data of the study. To analyze data, this study employed a T-test to determine the significant result. The result indicated that the pretest score achieved 71.12 and the posttest value reached 89.05. It performed that different values occur on the students' reading comprehension after the TBLT implementation. The significant value (p) also indicated that the output reaches 0.00 < 0.05, which represented the result is under the significant level (0.05).
