<![CDATA[This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of DRTA strategy with Instagram media in teaching reading to senior high school students. A quasi-experimental design, non-randomized pre-test post-test was used, involving second-year senior high school students. Grade XI IPS 3 served as the experimental group, while Grade XI IPS 5 served as the control group. Pre-tests were given to both groups before treatment. The experimental group received instruction using DRTA strategy with Instagram media, while the control group was taught using GTM method. The findings of the research showed that statistically the students taught using DRTA strategy showed significant higher achievement than those taught using conventional method (GTM). It can be seen from the differences between the means of the two groups, which are reported in the Estimated Marginal means table as DRTA method is 79.003, which is greater and 73.569 for the students taught using conventional method (GTM). From the practical view, DRTA strategy contributed the improving students’ reading skill especially in Hortatory Exposition text, because DRTA strategy provides clear directions; this encourages the students to read easily and helps students to find or builds the idea before they read the text. From the findings, it is suggested that DRTA strategy with Instagram media should be introduced, practiced and implemented in the English class especially in reading comprehension on Hortatory Exposition text.]]>
