The objectives of this study were to examine: (1) Whether the implementation of the Rehearsal Strategy enhances the reading comprehension skills of second-semester students at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar; (2) The students' perception regarding the utilization of the Rehearsal Strategy in improving reading comprehension. The study was conducted with second-semester students from the English Department at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. A quasi-experimental design was employed, consisting of a pre-test, eight treatment sessions, and a post-test. Data were collected using a reading test and a questionnaire, and were analyzed using statistical methods such as independent sample t-test and frequency analysis of the questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that the p-value of the independent t-test for the post-test scores was less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference in reading comprehension between students taught with the rehearsal strategy and those without it. The analysis of the questionnaire demonstrated that the students held a highly positive perception towards the implementation of the Rehearsal Strategy.]]>
