Abstract :
English is an international language that plays important role in
globalization era. To face it, the English teaching must be focused on four skills;
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. One of four skills that must be mastered
by the students is reading. Unfortunately, the score of reading comprehensioan of
the tenth year students of MA Nurul Ulum, Kudus was not satisfied yet.
Therefore, I am interested in holding the research entitled “The Ability of Reading
Narrative Text of the Tenth Grade Students of MA NU Nurul Ulum Jekulo Kudus
by Using Reciprocal Teaching Technique in Academic Year 2011/2012â€.
Thee objective of this research is to find out whether there is any
significant difference in student’s reading ability of narrative text between the
tenth grade students of MA Nurul Ulum Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 that
are taught by using conventional technique.
The research design is experimental research. The population of this is all
of the tenth grade students of MA Nurul Ulum Kudus in academic year 2022/2012
in second semesters. I take X-3 and X-4 as the sample by using cluster random
sampling technique. The instrument of the research is test. The test consist of 30
multiple choices of reading narrative.
The result of the research shows that the reading ability of the tenth grade
student’s o MA Nurul Ulum Kudus taught by using reciprocal teaching technique
in academic year 2011/2012 is categorized good. The mean= 88, 63 and standard
deviation = 6, 12. Meanwhile reading ability of narrative text between the tenth
grade students of MA Nurul Ulum Kudus in academic year 2011/2012 is
categorized sufficient. The mean = 80, 34 and standard deviation 5,72. The result
of t-test is 56, 3. It is higher than t table thet is 2, 00 (in the level of significance
5% and 2,65 in the level of significance 1% ).
Thus, I suggest that the study by using reciprocal teaching technique will
be better than conventional teaching technique. So, I had shown that the teacher
are easier by using reciprocal teaching technique in teaching learning process to
give positive effect on student
’
s reading narrative text ability.
