THE EFFECT OF TEACHING READING THROUGH SQ3R TECHNIQUE ON THE STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT IN READING COMPREHENSION AT SMUN I LAMONGAN IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1999 / 2000

Abstract

SQ3R is one of the effective techniques in teaching reading, but EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers at secondary, especially at SMUN I Lamongan are not familiar with this technique. In relation to this idea, the research is to observe whether or not there is a significant effect of teaching reading through SQ3R technique on the students achievement in reading comprehension at SMUN I Lamongan in the academic year 1999 / 2000. To get the research data, I have used some research instruments, such as: test, interview, observation, and document. The collected data have been analyzed by using t-test formula with significant level or 5 % . The result of the data analysis shows that the statistical value of t-test is 4,530906206 while the critical value of t-test table with the degree of freedom 86 is 1,980. This means that the statistical value of t-test is higher than the critical value of t-table. In other words, the hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected. So, it is concluded that there is a significant effect of teaching reading through SQ3R technique on the students achievement in reading comprehension at SMUN I Lamongan in the academic year 1999 / 2000.
