ABSTRACT

The Eleventh Grade Student of MA Miftahul Huda Raguklampitan

Batealit Jepara In Academic year 2014-2015 By Using Summarizing

Key Words: Summarizing Strategy and Reading Comprehension

Reading is an important skill in learning English. In MA Miftahul Huda

Raguklampitan Batealit Jepara, especially in the eleventh grade, most of them

stated that reading is long and boring activity. However the teachers only focused

in materials from handbook, the teacher never use any teaching media who

supported his teaching and learning process also when he give explanation related

to the material he only give brief explanation. This kind of situation makes

students have low comprehension in reading comprehension especially on

hortatory exposition text. the result of students’s reading comprehension of

hortatory exposition text test is still unsatisfactory and many students get low

score. In this case the teacher should use appropriate strategy to make the students

more interest and understand well. Summarizing Strategy is one of alternative

strategy that can be used by the English teacher to teach reading comprehension

especially on hortatory exposition text . Hopefully, it can increase the students’

reading comprehension.

This research is an experimental research used one group with pre-test and

post-test. The population of this research was all of the eleventh grade students of

MAMiftahul Huda RaguklampitanBatealit Jepara in academic Year 2014/2015 by

using summarizing strategy.

The number of sample is 13 students which are taken by cluster randomly

from the eleventh grade students. The writer took eleventh grade students as a

single class as the sample. Test is used as the instrument of this research. There

are pre-test and post-test to get the score and to know the data before and after

being taught by using summarizing strategy. From these score can be known

wheter there is or no significant different between the reading comprehension of

hortatory exposition text ofeleventh grade students of MAMiftahul Huda

RaguklampitanBatealit Jepara in academic Year 2014/2015 before and after

taught by using summarizing strategy.

The result of this research can be seen from the mean of the pre-test is 55.53,

standard deviation is 7.21. While the mean of post-test is 75.84, standard

deviation is 11.21 Hypothesis testing in the level of significance 0.05 and degree

of freedom (df)12, the t-obtained (t0) is – 1.000 and t-table (tt) is 2.179, so the t-

obtained falls in the critical region. Therefore, the researcher concludes that there

is a significant difference betweenthe reading comprehension of hortatory

exposition text of eleventh grade students of MAMiftahul Huda

x

RaguklampitanBatealit Jepara in academic Year 2014/2015 before and after by

using summarizing strategy.

From the facts above, the writer suggests the English teacher to give

summarizing strategy in every reading activity inside the classroom or outside the

classroom. The writer also suggests students to do reading activity when they are

in the school, at home or everywhere. And for the further teacher, the writer

suggests to combine this strategy with the other media or method to make more

innovations in teaching reading comprehension.

Kata Kunci: Strategi meringkasdan Pemahaman membaca

Pemehaman membaca adalah kemampuan yang penting dalam

mempelajari bahasa inggris. Di MA Miftahul Huda Raguklampitan Batealit

Jepara, khususnya di kelas XI, kebanyakan siswa kelas sebelas mengatakan bahwa

membaca merupakan kegitan yang panjang dan membosankan yang membuat

mereka bosan .Guru hanya fokus pada materi yang ada di buku paket, guru tidak pernah menggunakan beberapa media atau strategy pembelajaran yang mendukung pengajarannya dan proses pembelajaran serta ketika dia memberikan penjelasan mengenai materi dia hanya member penjelasan singkat.situasi seperti ini hanya membuat siswa kurang memahami dalam pemahaman membaca khususnya teks

hortatory exposition. Tetapi Hasil dari tingkat pemahaman membaca teks

hortatory exposition text masih kurang memuaskandan banyak siswa yang

mendapat nilai rendah. Pada kasus ini guru seharusnya menggunekan strategy

yang cocok untuk membuat siswa lebih tertarik dan memahaminya dengan baik.

Strategy meringkas merupakan salah satu jalan keluar yang dapat di gunakan oleh

guru bahasa inggris untuk mengajar pemahaman membaca khususnya untuk teks

hortatory exposition. Harapannya itu dapat meningkatkan pemahaman membaca

siswa.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen menggunakan satu

kelompok dengan menggunakan tes awal dan tes akhir. Populasi dari penelitian

ini adalah semua siswa kelas sebelas Ma Miftahul Huda Raguklampitan Batealit

Jepara Tahun Ajaran 2014/2015 dengan menggunakan strategi meringkas. Jumlah

sampel 13 siswa yang mana di ambil dengan cara claster random sampling dari

kelas sebelas. Penulis mengambil kelas sebelas sebagai kelas tunggal sebagai

sampel. Tes digunakan sebagai alat dari penelitian ini. Ada tes awal dan tes akhir

untuk menggunaka nilai dan untuk mengetahui data sebelum dan sesudah di ajar

menggunakan strategi meringkas. Dari nilai tersebut dapat di ketahui apakah ada

perbedaan signifikan terhadap kemampuan membaca teks hortatory exposition

text siswa kelas sebelas MA Miftahul Huda Raguklampitan Batealit Jepara tahun

ajaran 2014/2015 sebelum dan setelah diajar menggunakan strategi meringkas.

Hasil dari penelitian dapat dilihat dari nilai rata-rata tes awal adalah

55.53, standar deviasinya dalah 7.21. sementara nilai rata-rata tes akhirnya adalah

75.84, standar deviasinya 11.21 pengujian hipotesis awalnya di level signifikasi

0.05 dan tingkat kebebasan (df) 12, t-obtained (to) -1.000 dan t-table jatuh pada

xii

daerah kritis. Maka penelitian disimpulkan bahwa ada ada perbedaan yang

signifikan antara pemahaman membaca membaca teks hortatory eksposisi siswa

kelas sebelas MA Miftahul Huda Raguklampitan Batealit Jepara tahun ajaran

2014/2015 sebelum dan sesudah di ajar menggunakan strategi meringkas.

Dari fakta di atas penulis menyarankan kepada Guru Bahasa Inggris untuk

memberikan strategi meringkas pada setiap aktivitas didalam kelas maupun diluar

kelas. Penulis juga memberikan saran kepada siswa ketika melakukan aktifitas

membaca di dalam kelas, di rumah atau dimana-mana. Dan untuk Guru, penulis

menyarankan untuk mengkobinasikan strategi ini dengan media-media yang lain

atau metode-metode yang lain untuk membuat inovasi-inovasi dalam pengajaran

pemahaman membaca.
