The result of data analysis showed that the students’ mean score in pretest was 53.24 and the mean score in posttest was 76.8. Moreover, the analysis of t-test showed that tscore ttable or 12.144 1.711 at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 24. The most improvement of writing aspects was in content and organization. Other aspects such as grammar, vocabulary and mechanics also improved, but not as much as those two aspects.

Abstract

This research attempted to find the types of errors produced by students at the second grade of MTsN in Aceh Besar based on the surface strategy taxonomy and communicative effect taxonomy. It aimed at analysing errors produced by the students in their recount writing based on the surface strategy taxonomy classification which is omission, addition, misformation, and misordering, and communicative effect taxonomy which is local error and global error. This study is done by using quantitative approach. The data were students’ writing on recount text. The subject of this research was all students’ writing and the objects of this study were the errors found in the students’ recount text. The findings are as below. First, based on surface strategy taxonomy, misformation errors were found at the rate of 58.7%, while omission is committed for 19.4%. Addition errors are at 13%, and misordering were performed 8.9% in total. Second, based on communicative effect taxonomy, the local error was produced 58.25% while the global error was performed for 41.74%. It can be concluded that students’ error in writing recount texts is generally misormation and local error. As further recommendation, it is best to figure out the different text or discourse to explore more about errors produced by students at middle school.

Abstract

Vocabulary is the most important factor that affects reading ability. Size and level of vocabulary are crucial components that improve reading comprehension. In order to determine the relationship between students' vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension, the study's goal is to quantify it. According to the CEFR, this study focuses on reading skills at the B2 level and the first four thousand most commonly used words (The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). 52 students from the English Education Departments of Ar-Raniry State Islamic University and University of Muhammadiyah Aceh participated in vocabulary and reading assessments as part of the study's quantitative non-experimental methodology. Correlation analysis, or Spearman rho correlation, was used to analyse the data. The findings demonstrate an association between vocabulary and reading comprehension with a correlation coefficient of 0.357. According to these coefficients, there is little association. As a result, for language acquisition, language learning instruction must include a sufficient amount of vocabulary and reading.

Abstract

This research was designed to figure out the effectiveness of the think aloud strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension ability. The think aloud strategy is a learning strategy whereby students verbalize their thought as they read. Twenty 2nd grade students of MAS Darul Ulum Banda Aceh participated in this quantitative research. This research used a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest. The finding showed that the think aloud strategy improves students’ reading comprehension ability, especially in analytical exposition text. It can be seen from the mean score of the post-test (54.4) which was higher than that of the pre-test (36.4). The t-test analysis showed that the t-score (4.255) obtained a higher gain than the t-table (2.085). This strategy successfully helped the students to increase their reading comprehension ability in all aspects, particularly in identifying main ideas, making inferences, summarizing, and interpreting vocabulary. Therefore, the think aloud strategy can be considered as an effective instructional tool for teaching reading skill.
