<![CDATA[Reading comprehension is a part of English language learning in Indonesia since the students, based on the Kurikulum 2013, are required to learn and read many kinds of texts. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the use of short stories in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. This study is conducted using the quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design (one group pre-posttests design). The pre-posttests are used to obtain data related to students’ reading comprehension. Those tests consist of 10 questions that are generated from two texts prepared by the researchers. 36 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Bolaang are the object of this study. The data is then analyzed using the mean score formula and standard deviation formula. The findings show that the mean score of the pre-test is 4.4, and the standard deviation is 1.5. Meanwhile, the mean score of the post-test is 5.6, and the standard deviation of the post-test is 1.6. It indicates that students’ reading performance in the post-test is better than their performance before the treatment (pre-test). So, it is concluded that short stories are an effective technique to be used in increasing students’ reading comprehension. Teachers of English at junior high school are recommended to use short stories in teaching reading comprehension to help students understand the reading materials.]]>

<![CDATA[The aim of this study was to determine whether or not employing a guessing game may improve students' speaking skills. The pre-experimental design was employed in this study, with one group pre-test-post-test. For data analysis, the researcher used statistical analysis by SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solution) version 22 with Paired sample t-test. The Paired sample t-test results suggest that students speaking skills have significantly improved. The mean score of the pre-test before employing the guessing game in teaching is M = 37,78 with a standard deviation of 13.086. After the guessing game treatment, the mean post-test score is M = 60,00 with a standard deviation of 16.270. The total number of students (N) is 18. The study discovered that using a guessing game in the classroom might improve students' speaking skills. It demonstrates that the study hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, or that the outcome has addressed the research question that the guessing game may considerably enhance students' speaking skills. As a result, the guessing game can help students improve their speaking skills.]]>
