Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the reading comprehension and vocabulary proficiency of students in the eleventh grade at Madrasah Aliyah Al-khairaat Ulatan. The research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design, and the sampling method utilized is total sampling. The study includes 26 students from the eleventh-grade class at Madrasah Aliyah Al-khairaat Ulatan. The research instrument consists of a multiple-choice test, and data collection involves two types of tests: a reading comprehension test and a vocabulary mastery test, each comprising 10 questions. Data analysis was conducted manually using SPSS 25. The findings of the research reveal a significant correlation between reading comprehension and vocabulary mastery, with a two-tailed significance (Sig.) value of 0.007. The calculated correlation coefficient (r) is 0.518, indicating a strong correlation (greater than 0.5 but less than 0.75). The Pearson correlation coefficient of 1 signifies a positive correlation between the two variables. Therefore, the research concludes that the alternative hypothesis (Ha): "The value of r count 0.518 > r table 0.388" is accepted, indicating a correlation between reading comprehension and vocabulary mastery among students in class XI at Madrasah Aliyah Al-khairaat Ulatan.

Abstract

This study addresses the students' need for enhanced speaking skills, particularly in terms of fluency. The inquiry posed in this thesis originates from the question: Can the application of the Presentation, Practice, and Production (PPP) method contribute to the improvement of students' speaking abilities when describing a person at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi? The objective is to ascertain whether the use of the PPP method has a positive impact on students' proficiency in describing individuals. The research adopts a quantitative approach through quasi-experimental methods. The study encompasses the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Sigi, comprising three classes. The experimental class comprises 20 students, while the control class consists of 20 students. Purposive sampling is employed to select students from classes VIII A and VIII B. The research findings demonstrate that the utilization of the Presentation Practice Production (PPP) method significantly enhances students' speaking skills, specifically in terms of fluency. This is evident from the mean scores of the experimental and control classes, which are 17.65 and 8.9, respectively. The calculated t-value of 4.26, with a degree of freedom (df) of 38 (20+20-2) and a significance level of 0.05, surpasses the critical t-table value of 2.00. Consequently, the hypothesis of the research is accepted, affirming that the implementation of the Presentation Practice Production method is effective in improving the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the scanning technique in improving reading comprehension of recount texts among eighth-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nurul Hasanah Pengawu. The primary objective was to determine whether the scanning technique enhanced students' ability to comprehend recount texts. A quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing a quasi-experimental design. The research involved 35 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria, with class VIIIB assigned as the experimental group and class VIIIA as the control group. Before the intervention, students struggled with understanding recount texts. However, after the experimental group received treatment using the scanning technique, their performance improved significantly, as evidenced by an increase in their average scores from 45.33 in the pre-test to 76.94 in the post-test. These findings indicated that the scanning technique was an effective method for enhancing reading comprehension of recount texts in this context.
